Nicknames

[LongCarbine]

One of my sons favorite books , The last of the Mohicans main person is Natty Bumppo, One of his nicknames is Longcarbine. It's better than Natty.

[MarkMarine]

"Maga Waya" is the name I am called by my Cherokee woman. It translates into Mark Wolf. My nickname in the Marines was "Cherry Boy" because I had just turned 17 when I entered and was the youngest Marine about everywhere I went. Of course, I used that name to good effect in the villages on my first tour Now, those who know me call me Maga as any semblence of boy died in me long ago lol

[Boomer]

My nickname is also my last name "Boomer". It helps to have a built in nickname. People will ask me how I got my nickname Boomer, when I tell them it's my last name I usually have to show them my driver's licence.

[ottawacats]

Well I use this screenname on the sites I belong to. I just took the city I live in "Ottawa" and the type of snowmobile I have always riden "Arctic Cat" and came up with Ottawacats.

[frisky]

I really don't have a nick name. I just use the name of the guy in my avatar........frisky

[Grizzly Adam]

When I was a boy, my favorite show was "The Life & Times of Grizzly Adams".

My peers at school discovered this, and my real name is Adam, so you can guess the rest easily enough:

Grizzly Adam I became.

And Grizzly Adam I remain!

I wanted to be a mountain man back then.

Sometimes I still do.

Are they taking applications for that position?

[vixenmaster]

Well the only 2 ppl that call me this are the same one's who gave it to me. It maybe a nickname but i don't actually care fer it. My Mother inlaw called me a$$hole everytime i came over to see my now wife of more than a qtr century!

[ElmerFudd]

For me Elmer Fudd came from the days when Citizens Band radio was the rage. Everyone had a Handle, and even after being a Ham Operator when I was a teenager the first time I keyed the mic things just didn't work out. Started stuttering and couldn't really say sh-t. Got a quick come back from a cousin and he said YOUR HANDLE is gonna be Elmer Fudd. Has stuck since.

[ComfyBear]

.....Started stuttering and couldn't really say sh-t. Got a quick come back from a cousin and he said YOUR HANDLE is gonna be Elmer Fudd. Has stuck since.

Actually, although Elmer Fudd has a speech impediment. He doesn't lisp, stammer, or stutter. HIs affliction is called speech/verbal dyspraxia or apraxia.

Thank God your cousin wasn't a Looney Tunes fan, otherwise he would have known that it was Porky Pig that studdered, not Elmer Fudd.

Can you imagine being call "Porky Pig"

As for me, I don't actually have a nickname, I just chose ComfyBear, because I believe there's no place like home. That's where I prefer to be, just like a bear in his den.

[ElmerFudd]

ComfyBear, the worst thing that I can think of being called is--- To Late For Dinner.

[xbowholic]

My name is Barry James and growing up,people just called me "bear"; when I got married (32 years ago ) and my daughters came along I picked up the "pappabear" and has hung on for over 25 years now.
