Chaotic Hammer. No, really.

I used to play drums in a hard rock band, and after one show, a review in the local paper said my drumming “rode over the music like a chaotic hammer”. So that’s what my band mates started calling me.

But nobody else really calls me that any more, except that it’s my online pseudonym.

I grew up being called Keefie … having the last name of Keefe that teachers could not pronounce.

My kids had nicknames… Josh, who was always one of many Josh’s, became B … as his last name initial. Much shorter than Josh B .. now that he’s an adult though, everyone calls him Johnny Dish (which makes no sense so don’t ask). My Alison has been either Ali or Al …

The better question is have I ever NOT had a nickname!
Kjaere is my real name and is pronounced “key-are-ah” (but not really, but that’s a complicated story)

K.J. is my most common nickname
Kage
Kahjahgoogoo is what my best friend calls me

and pretty much any other combination of sounds you can come up with from my strange name

Some guys in high school dubbed me “Dale-do” … you do the math! I’m still kinda sensitive about it.

Andi and Andira (pronounced Ann-dee-rah). The real name is Andria, but in college people began calling me Andi. Then back home someone made a compromise and started calling me “Andira”. It stuck.

17) Biscuet

September 14th, 2008

@ 8:44 am

The name’s “Biscuet.” It’s pronounced like the food. It comes from a tragic mistake in a 6th grade spelling bee (hence the spelling). It followed me through middle school, through high school, into college, and now around the world as i live in China. I’m not ashamed. I only know one person who calls me by my real name. She’s my sister.

I have been called so many different things… I actually posted a list of them all on my blog here. Here are a few gems:

Mister (by a kid in the preschool class I used to teach)
Little Bug (by my sister-in-law)

And I have a Polish last name, so of course I get all sort of mangled pronunciations of that.

@ 4:52 pm

For part of high school, I was dubbed “Cindy.” Long story, stupid joke.

Lately, my friends have started calling me “Rachel the Writer.” Sounds simple, but it has some great meaning attached…and it’s stuck. I don’t mind. =)

@ 5:41 am

I used to work as a Dept of Defense contractor back in the 90s. I drove a full size 4×4 pickup truck with fender flares, mud flaps, a chrome light bar, KC lights, a grill guard, a big number 3 sticker in the back window, and a personalized Virgina license plate with “Rednek” on it.

After pulling up in the Pentagon parking lot a few times in my truck, people started calling me Bubba. It stuck. I still don’t get it…..

I have been known, since my freshman year in high school, as Cubby.

During our UIL One-Act Play Competition rehearsal, I was put into a cubby during a scene… i’m supposed to fall out of it and…well… the cubby was placed a little too close to the edge of the stage during rehearsal and I not only fell out of the cubby…. but I fell off stage… my theatre director yelled out “Cubby!” instead of my name… and it kinda stuck.
