I didn't have a nickname.......nobody knew I was there.

I didn't have a nickname - I never went to school.

I didn't have a nickname, not one that was said to my face anyway! I was called Denny, which is a variation of my given name.

However, this set me thinking, and I remember Bunner, Biffo, Bruffy, Jackal, Spiv, Giggin, Neenee, Yaggle, and Bubbles. Don't ask!!

Funny how you clearly remember details from 65 years ago, but can't remember where you left your gloves yesterday.

[Nigel H-J]

I never had a nickname when at school or anywhere else for that matter.

I suppose this qualifies as a nickname - people tend to drop the final 'l' so Nigel becomes 'Nige'. Probably more about lazy speech than anything else.

Even though I live on Tyneside I hav never been called Geordie.

[FlyTexas]

My nickname was just a shortened version of my last name. They'd call me Hig or Higgy. A shortened version of Higinbotham. I wish I had a dollar for every person that said to me "Higinbotham...Is that German?"

Now that's quite surprising, given your actual name - George Davison..George D...GeorD.
I loved my time up there.

Have to agree with that, some work colleagues used to call me Nige also but never thought of posting that, possibly used as an endearment term or otherwise they're getting very lazy in their manner of speech!!
