OK. Who of us have 'unusual' nicknames and WHY?

[DragonMage]

Since I asked and am curious about all of you, I'll start:

The oddest nickname I have ever gotten was 'Fred' (my r/l name being Brenda).
One of my NOW closest friends dubbed me 'Fred' soon after we first met. For some odd reason, I also answered to it. When I asked her (much later) why she called me 'Fred', she said that the day she first met me, I was wearing a shirt that reminded her of the one Fred Flintstone wore in the cartoon. (Apparently something with orange and black on it). When next she came across me, she couldn't remember my name. So instead of embarrasing herself by asking my name again, she dubbed me something she could remember. It is the only nickname that I've ever gotten that has really 'stuck' and the longest lasting one, too. She has since moved back to Ohio, but when she sends me letters, they are always addressed to 'Fred'.

I just have one unusual nickname, but I'm not gonna tell you what it is and how I got it (a hint then) it has something to do with "me and girls at parties" (if you catch my drift) (btw, do want to be cocky about this, it's just the thruth)
