That's an odd nickname. Though I could understand how you'd get it. Me personally? Not many. Smitty once or twice, and I generally tell them that's Granddad. At conventions I often become Ak, from the screen-name obviously. I try and dissuade people from trying to pronounce aksmth. And every convention round I try and decide if keeping the name is worth the fuss that comes with it.
Superman- Yes, really, just because my last name is Clark. "hey, look it's Clark Kent, it's Superman!" and everyone thinks they are original by calling me Superman. Still happens frequently, though. Not a bad one, I guess... And back in the eighties or so, someone would ask my name, and I'd tell them - "Gary Clark" and they'd say: "right, and I suppose you play for the Redskins as well" - there was a wide receiver on the Washington Redskins with my name... or did I have his name? We lived in Maryland, so everyone knew that name when he was playing. And don't forget hairy, scary, fairy Gary, been a while since I heard any of that, though. BTW, has anyone Seane Shane? sorry, man I had to. yeah, I'm sure you HAVE heard it ten billion times
Could be worse. They could've been F.U.K, P.O.S, F.P.S, D.N.R, or B.O.B. I had the nickname C.C when I was a kid because my first name is hard to yell, and my middle name is phonetically similar to my Dad's (Duane). For many years, though, I thought my name was Damnit, or OhShitt.
i've been nicknamed "Zero" from my skater friends. I have a Zero skateboard and im usually seen wearing a Zero tshirt and/or hoodie.
a friend of mines initials are PMS, he a dude and it sucks.... but thats not me....my initials are blah I had the nickname of House on the football team in highschool.... skinza was another that I dont know where it came from, and it didnt bother me until I started to hear it out of the same wankers mouth all the time, he had to have surgery on his head, thats all I'm sayin. Wait, my ex wife has all kinds of colorful names for me that I dont deserve...no really I dont deserve them, I'd admit it if I did!
