I have a friend we like to call Maisie "No Ears" Lastname, because she told a guy that she had no ears in middle school (and showed him her middle school ID, in which her ears were covered) and he believed her.
My father calls both my younger cousins Little Bit.
When I was young my mother and aunt (and other family members?) called me Sarah Ruba Tuba. My aunt still calls me that sometimes. Hah.
My best friend is almost always Lilykins or Prongsikins to me. Her real name is Marilyn/Mem. (Though she is Lily to our group of friends.) I also occasionally call her Harpo, because she's just like my friend Harpo but burlier (they've never met). For a while, one of the camp counselors only knew her as Harpo!
Another friend, Bryce, is occasionally known as Stabby or Stab or STAB. Lily coined that from the initials of different names he's been called: STella (to us) Annie (his real first name) Bryce (middle name that he goes by) because she gets confused about what to call him. I also occasionally call him Bruce.
My friend Rachel and I call each other Elphie and Glindie, because over the summer we bonded over how much we didn't like Wicked.
My friend Dyl and I call each other Arwen and Phiona. They were nicknames we had when we were in grade school together.
At camp, my friend Yonah called me Hermione because of a scene I did in acting class, and I called him Harry.
One of my teachers, Gary, is called "Scary Gary". Harpo made recruitment posters for mock trial that say "Scary Gary wants YOU!" and have a picture of Gary pointing.
Another teacher, Sean, is called Slanders.
Emily is known as Maus.
Erin is known as Sparkey.
