I nicknamed a friend "Mouse" because he likes comparing his life to an endless "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" story.

---

Also had a seventh grade teacher nicknamed Mr. Mouse. It sounded similar to his real last name.

---

A guy who rode my school bus in fifth grade was called Twinkie because he was overweight and fifth graders are mean. He is still called Twinkie.

---

A boy in my kindergarten class renamed himself Bill (names have been changed) because he didn't like his name, and a lot of people still don't know what his real name is or that Bill isn't even his name. He still goes by Bill.

One of the teachers at a school I subbed at last year (I subbed there pretty often, like 2-4 times per month) had the name Jeffery, but went by "Jeffer". Not to the students, of course, just to the teachers.

I also know a Michael who goes by "Duds" because he loves Milk Duds (the candy).

I know a James who is called “Dev” because his hair sticks up like little devil horns.

---

I know an Adrienne who is nicknamed “Andy”. It’s her boyfriend’s name and she talks about him constantly.

---

I know a Charlotte who calls herself “Foxy” and everything in her house is fox-themed.

---

I know a Stuart whose friends call him “Turnip” and an Osman who gets called “Carrot” - I don’t know the reasons behind either!

I know a guy named David who is really serious all the time. His friends call him “Smiler”.

---

I know a Matthew who gets called “Zippy” because he looks like the character from The Magic Roundabout.

I know a Camden nicknamed “Camera” after his love for technology. I also know a Preslee Rae (f) whose best friend calls her “P-Rae”.
