Sounds like you had quite a few nicknames that rhymed and had a good ring to it. I know I'm a bit late and not in it to win it, but some of my nicknames in school were Banana and Nugget. My friends called me that because I loved eating Bananas and nuggets. - Mabel

Hi Jill, in junior high school I was bullied and called frizzy top (my hair). Then in high school, I earned the nickname "Mushy" ( My last name was Marchand and they called me Marshy but one day my friend yelled out across the quad and it sounded like Mushy and it stuck). My dad always called me Baby, then when I met and got to know country singer Lee Greenwood (his mom was a friend of mine) he started calling me Baby and now my husband calls me Baby. When I was working as a surgical tech I had two doctors give me nicknames, one called me Miss Muffet and the other called me Twinkle Toes (not totally sure their reasonings).

I earned my nickname in college along with my roommate. We were both in a biology class and she experienced a series of accidents on campus which resulted in her using crutches for a time - hence she became "Crash". I also had an embarrassing bog fail on a class field trip which resulted in me being dubbed "Splash'!
