Do you have any nicknames? Do different people call you different things? Why do they call you that?
(And if you want to share your real name...)
My real name is MaJa (I have always used a big J since I learned how to write it, I dunno why)
In kindergarten people called me 'Majs' (The Danish word for Corn and a few years ago someone I hadn't seen since then still used that name...)
about 5 years ago Michael Jackson fans couldn't pronounce my name so they called me MJ, which incidentally was our idols initials and nickname... can't say I minded that one bit but darn it gets confusing at times!
My best friend didn't know that but I found out when texting she always shortens my short name to MJ
Some people have the past year started calling me Kitten because of my undying love for BoP...

I couldn't tell you all of the nicknames I have had.
My name is Sophie, the most rhyme-able, tragic name in the world. XD
I always got the worst nicknames that didn't make any sense, but the one that stuck out the most was Sirsophsalot. LOL, don't get me started, that one stuck for quite a while.
Ever since I got into Mr. Murphy, I have been sighing every single one of my school assignments with a Cillian Murphy character name, most commonly Neil Adventure, so Neil Adventure is my nickname at school. People will also come up to me randomly and say SCONES. Long story. XD

MaJa sounds really sweet, it is similar to my aunt's name..  And I very like name Sofie  Fortunately, I never got any good or bad nicknames but I never got used to my real name which is Hana.... but it's complicated In czech language when someone calls me "Hana" it sounds starkly and I feel like the person is fed up with me. In fact, everything is okay.. It's because of the way of pronunciation in czech and also an accent but for example when German or English calls me this way, it's fine |

I just got a new nickname!
This morning at the office two of the girls and I were talking about everything and nothing and we got to talk about Ireland and I revealed my passion for the country and one of them who can never remember my name told me from now on she'll call me 'Irish' or 'Ireland' when she can't remember my name
I can't say I mind

Haha I wouldn't mind either The Bloody Rose ! The nickname "Jinx" was given to me when I was about 11. I used to be a very unlucky girl, got into weird situations and such. I also broke 8 different bones in a single year time. I'm also called "Captain" by some friends, because I do these historical fests, and often dress as a Pirate captain. "my little fox" is the nickname my best friend found, because... I don't even know why XD "The Geek / Gamer / Nerd" is how I'm called by most of the people who can't remember or pronounce "Jinx" (come on french people, it's not that hard to pronounce!). I have a passion for video games and old movies. And famous sagas like the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or Indiana Jones. My father calls me "Indiana Jinx", by the way. Haha XD Oh and my real name is one of the most common in France, Amélie. It's old french, means something like "linked to her soul". |

My name is Raffaella, but it's very difficult to pronounce it for a non Italian, so I've been Leyla since I was 12.
When I was a teen I swore I would marry the first foreigner who would pronounce and write my name in the correct way. In 1998 I saw Alan Rickman on stage, he's my favorite actor. At the stage door I handed him the program for him to sign.
Alan: What's your name?
Me: Raffaella (without any spelling....)
Alan: Raffaella
He wrote it perfectly, I started grinning :-D
