you are absolutely right lisa... the #1 rule of nicknames is that you can't give it to yourself... there was an entire seinfeld episode on this as george wanted a nickname... and he chose t-bone but no one would call him that...
he became coco the monkey which illustrates your second point... it should be based on something physical.
my nickname was easy. smurfy. murphy, murf, smurfy. the last girl I dated called me smurfy all the time, short legs, no hair, rounish features and she held out turning a part of mw blue.
joey had the best nickname but I can't post it because times have changed and it was quite possibly the least pc nickname(s) of all time.
mike theut was call bunz, short for thunderbuns... as a kid he had large thighs and butt and we would pay intertube wars. NO one could flip him...
a girl could never be called that...
brian wenzell was called glade. he was playing outside and ran in to poop... when he came out we discovered that he used the glade air freshener as a cologne... too funny...
my sister tammy became tambo when she hit her growth spurt and got strong... she beat up one of my friends and was wild like rambo so she became tambo.
anyone remember any more?
bruce manning was turtle...
brian ales was putt putt which is now just putt because he is so damn slow.
bruce murphy became juicie... brucie juicie, juicie fruit, juicie.
joey and I had a whole list of girl nicknames and private hand gestures to symblize them... they will NEVER surface.
