    When I was a little girl many, many moons ago I heard someone use the name 'Fanny Fanackapan' (sp? and I hope it wasn't rude) and thought this was the funniest thing ever (as only a four year old would), after that my dad used to call me that to make me laugh. It eventually got shortened to 'Fan' and lasted quite a few years although I didn't still fall over laughing by this time. Then when I was in my early twenties my first neice couldn't get her tongue round the name Elizabeth so called me Fizz; it stuck within the family. My ex husband used to call me Elvis; this arose when I was in hospital for a while and couldn't get up to wash my hair which soon became a greasy quiff.
    Identity crisis? Nah, I'll stick with Lizzy!

      LOL Ollie - you could ask a mod to edit it for you, but I suspect they'd rather make you squirm!

          Himself has always called me Chicking (has to have the g on the end!) That applied long before we ever thought we'd have chickens of our own.

              My initials are K J and when at school, people used to call me 'Cage'. I also answered to 'Killer' for I was always fighting. Some of the wierdest nicknames belong to my middle son's friends. There is a 'Black Fag', he isn't either. There is a 'Fat Melv' who is skinny and his name is Peter! And one called 'Fruit' for absolutely no reason at all. My youngest is called Chewbacca, cos he's about 6ft 4", skinny, got long red hair (dyed) and a thick beard.

                      I was called a number of names at school - none of them affectionate or endearing.

                      Haven't really got a nickname.

                      Oh, I was called "Norm" for a while by an ex-colleague. Abbreviated verson of "Norman the Doorman" on account of my size.

                          My grandad Alec (sadly no longer with us) called me Mildew when I was a kid - and I really can't believe I have just admitted to it!!!!

                          Since we married, my OH has taken to calling me 'wife' we have various names for each other, it just depends how much we wind each other up as to which ones get used!!

                              Lol TS
                              I'm sure you've been called nicer things
                              Incy is my current nickname given by OH. His is Tiny and as he is bigger than me Incy was the obvious choice
                              As a child I was called plum. Apparently it stemmed from an outfit Mum dressed me in as a baby.

                                I haven't really got one at the moment, but at work, in the 80s when I had longish hair and a beard, I was 'J.C.', sometimes shortened to one syllable as 'Jase', and more recently, when I worked nights, there was a fashion among my fellow night-workers to change each other's names into a pseudo-Italian form, so I became 'Stephano' or Stephalano'. At primary school, I was 'Donkey-drop', from my surname, Horsfall. I recently discovered to my surprise, that 'donkey drop' is cricket slang, but I don't know what it means. I've also just discovered, via google, that it's a cocktail, no doubt because it's powerful enough to knock out a donkey. One of my primary school teachers called me 'Stainless Steve'. I discovered much later that that was the stage name of a 40s and 50s comedian. At secondary school, I was 'Neddy' and variations such as 'Nedwin', 'Nedward' and 'Neddy Seagoon'.
