And Why? My father used to call me TOSH for whatever reason and my grandparents used to call me Bonky loo lah - because when I was a toddler I just used to put my head down and charge - I ended up banging my head or hurting myself more times than enough.

My mum called me Dumplin...I looked like one too. My name is Geraldine so am called Gerri or gez most of the time but as a child was called Dena....

come to think of it....I'll answer to anything lol I've had to!

My family call me Nell, but when I was a child I got called Claudia, Snoodlepush, Fanny-Ann and many other names by my mother - no idea why! If she called me Helen I knew she was going to tell me off. As for my father - when I was about 3 someone asked me what my name was. I went all over shy, so she said "What does Daddy call you?" whereapon I said "Beastly child!" nell

Just like my daughter then Gerri:- My Daughter is called Sophie and gets called Bo, Boff, Lady Vicks, Soph and Princess and she is only 9 - bless her she never moans - she just gives you one of those cheeky smiles.

My dad called me 'Maggie Mops', and my sister (Anne Marie) 'Anne Marudd' - I wonder why she insists on just Anne now lol I am no longer allowed to all my elder (24) 'Pickle Bum' nor my younger (21) 'Squidgie' in public - don't know why!!!! maggie

I was born after four sons - my dad called me his little princess! Anne

I have a nickname. It was given to me by my Uncles. who were only 1, 3, 9 and 10 yrs older than me. I was so tall and skinny at the age of 11yrs, that i got the nickname ZIP. If i stood sideways and stuck my tongue out, I would look like a ZIP fastener. My Uncles teased me rotton. I had no boobs at 13yrs. so they said I needed Drawing Ointment and Carnation Corn plaster to make them grow. They said i had sparrows kneecaps. My one Uncle who is in his early 60's Still greets me with. "Its ZZZZIIIIIIPPPPP"I go mad but i love him to bits and still kick and thump him. Jenny

Weren't they just full of flattery for you Jenny?

lol at you lot.....Just thought of another one....My mum would call me and my step dad both....wait for it....Bogie!....she would be in the kitchen and us in the living room...she'd call out...BOGIE!...and the right one always answered....dont know to this day how we knew...lol

another....we called my stepdad...BreadBin.....every evening he would ask Mum..."wheres my sandwiches dear?"...she would yell at him...IN THE BLOODY BREAD BIN! lol...My kids refer to him as bread bin even now. I dont think they know his proper name lol

Mother Hen As I tend to flap about things. And i rush around like a headless one at times!!!

They used to call me Sunny or Billy. I was a generally happy boy and looked like my Uncle Bill.

Thanks Cousin.

My Dad used to call me Nipper, as in little nipper...small child and Ticker...I used to love to listen to his watch when I was small. Mum called me Fifi when I was small....Vivienne if I'd done something wrong! Viv

To this day im still doe doe or doughnut. love Donna x

My parents called me Fifi until I was about 7 or 8, and when I was about 3 my best friend was Leigh, known as Leigh-Leigh. We lived in Scarborough and my mother took us to the beach one day. When it was time to go home she stood up and called"Fifi!! Leigh-leigh!" and an elderly gentleman walking by dissolved into laughter. When he managed to contain himself he apologised and explained that he had fully expected 2 french poodles to come running, not 2 small girls!

Bendy that is what my big brother called me and still does perhaps we are sisters LOL Debs.

I was called "Snapper" ( Schnapper ) by my Dad and his mates. They took me sea fishing as a youg lad, and i caught my first fish, which was bigger than me. So the name stuck. And i still get called Snapper to-day 5o years on. Except, for my wife, who calls me, " He'y you.!!!! Tony. in sunny Oz ( 33 celcius in Victoria.)

My younger brother couldn't say Susan, the nearest he got was 'Disna' (!?!?). I was called that or Dizzy by close family for years! My younger daughter is Gemma Louise - known as Gemmy-Lou when much younger. My grandaughter Emma (7) is now known as Emmie-Lou, even though her name isn't Louise at all! Sue
