Name Game

What's in a name? Shoot, I dunno. I know that your name can be any number of things. It can have a DEEP meaning. It can mean nuffin

We all have names.

Do you have a nickname, tho?
Air Jordan
King of Pop
Material Girl
Tiger
King James
A-Rod
Dubya (clown)
etc...

My ole high school coach used to call me Kid Chocolate. But that wasn't my nickname. Randy Floss, KDitty, K-Dot, CBW (Chocolate Boy Wonder), 12, etc are all very cool. Growing up, I never really had a nickname that EVERYBODY called me. Now, most just call me KD...my initials.

What's your nickname? And I don't mean your blog name. If yo momma nem call you Pookie...don't say that your nickname is Eb the Celeb or Mizrepresent (y'all know I'm playin witcha).

Holla at meeeeeee!!!

Miss Mika said...

Well, my name is Tomika... but my family calls me Mika.

My blog name (Miss Mika) actually derived from what most people refer to me as, especially at work.

*Just thinking about it*
When I was in elementary school, because my name is spelled T O instead of T A, a few kids used to call me Toesmika.

Kids can be so cruel.

Mizrepresent said...

Don't really have one, most times it's my initials as well, DD, Di, or D...i know my friends and family are really creative! My daddy called me Deanie....that's about it...but you know i go by Miz!lol!

Anonymous said...

Never really had a nickname groing up. People call me Big Brad for the longest though.

When I was in NY my boys got to calling me FUBAR. Won't even elaborate. LOL

kit von b. said...

sigh. where do i start?

bullwinkle (my family...dont ask)keke(everyone calls me that cuz it's short for keana), kiwi (my mom and my best friend), keyonce(on the dance floor), twigs (cuz i'm tiny)...the list really goes on.

karrie b. is adapted from carrie bradshaw from sex in the city. karrie b. is my rap alias...yes i'm an emcee.

PCD (Pretty Circle Drawer) said...

hmmmmm, my dad used to call me d-boo. NOT D-BO like the dude from "friday", but D-BOOOOO!!!

also, i've been called "tude" back in college days...short for attitude, but more specifically AKAtude...mizrepresent, HOLLA!!

Brown Girl Gumbo said...

My nickname growing up was "Pooh" as in Winnie the Pooh - because I always carried a stuff animal of Winner the Pooh when I was little. My big sister still calls me, "Pooh." My other big sister calls me, "Darla." I never really knew why, I guess it rhymes with my real name, "Karla." LOL!

Queen of My Castle said...

Dang, you have a lot of nicknames. My nicknames are Chill, Quie, Q, Cali Girl, and White Girl.

BTW, in regards to your previous post...I have 2 tattoos in concealed places. They get addictive, but I have decided to stop @ 2.

The airport is FULL of weirdos. I wonder if they consider US weird? Hmmmmm

Enjoy your stay in the Great State of Texas. Everything is bigger and better in the Lone Star baby!!!!!!!!! LOL

Jazzy said...

I have nicknames with friends, not so much family. With family it's just an abbreviation of Jasmin (like Jazz, Jazzy, etc.)

My friend Tonia calls me Jazzy-mae...I call her Toni-Mae.

My friend Simone calls me Big Head...I call her Big Head as well.

My friend Serena calls me Digit Ho...I'm not like rain man when it comes to math, but I can add in my head extremely fast. I call her bargain ho...if there's a sale, then that heffa will sniff it out!

I think that's it!

Question for you: Where does "12" come from?

Jackie E. said...

My parents used to call me Tooksie Looksie....trust me, I have no idea where that came from or what the heck it's supposed to mean. Thank goodness, those days are over!!! Nowadays, a lot of people call me Jack, which obviously makes sense, atlhough my real name is Jacqueline and no one calls me that...except if my mother is mad or something:)

The Jaded NYer said...

well, my name is Raquel, named after my mom, so when I was little it was Raquelita. I also had a slew of other random nicknames that my family called me like piquito & cuchita & cascarita bermudez- randome shit whose backstory is to long to post here.

However, in school- from 3rd grade to college, I was known as Rocky, and all my friends and family still call me that or some variation of it today. In fact, my ex mother in law doesn't even know it's not my real name because that's all she calls me! lol

PCD (Pretty Circle Drawer) said...

i tagged you 12kyle......

Anonymous said...

No one calls me by a true "nickname" other than my mother and my aunt who has passed on. They call me Reecie. My aunt would frequently call me her Reece Cup. LOL! :)

In college some friends started calling me dirty red b/c I would get a redish/orange tent after being in the sun.

Lastly, so I've seen in the blog world I've been referred to as
Ms12. LOL! Thanks for the new nickname guys and for allowing Kyle to be a part of your day. LMAO!
Peace

Tabu said...

My Dad always, always, Always calls me Baby Girl or The Baby.

Most family and friends call me Baby, Baby girl, or sometimes Girl.

My mom had tons of names for me--Total Package, Pebbles, Tiny Tot, Snuggle bug, the list goes on.

Good Post.

Eb the Celeb said...

PrettyBlack said...

Black Gal, my grandmothers nickname was Black Gal, because she was the dark chocolate one out of the nine brothers and sisters.

And out of our family I'm the chocolate one so everytime I touch down to greet family it's "there go Black Gal"

PrettyBlack said...

They also call me PrettyBlack Thang so I just shortened it to PrettyBlack.

L. Renee' said...

Lisalisa from the cultjam is what they called me all through undergrad. My family nickname is pie.LOL
Can you believe some cousins still call me that to this day. I am 35.
My mother use to call me Lisalu.
I guess it could have been worse like POOKIE or Stinkie. LOL

BTW
It is rude to play on your crackberry when you are in the midst of company. RUDE!!!

Big ups to my girl the wifie! Glad you voyaged to the planet. (smile)

prettyparker said...

Poopie. Yes, I was poopie for many years until I was old enough to be embarrassed by it.

After that my momma called me "Talit" It was a shorter version of my biblical name. Not really all that short since she only knocked off the last two letters, lol.

But for the last 10 years I've gone by my last name "Parker." And everyone calls me Parker!

kit von b. said...
