When my youngest sister was growing up, we called her Tori-Pines, Tori-Pineapple.. I dunno why.

she doesn't even like pineapple.
I didn't have any true nicknames until my deployment in Iraq, I was always just Krys.. They called me Squirrels over there.. and the Iraqi guys called me lalingi (or however you spell it). It means like.. small orange or tangerine.
I give everyone nicknames though. We have a friend we call Dew, which gives way to all sorts of Dew-drops, Dew-isms, Dew-boyardi, Dehhh... etc. Nicknames are easier for me to remember than someone's actual name for some reason, and I like sticking y/ie at the end of things. I name my dogs and then always call them by their nicknames
