do you have any nicknames?

If people give you a nickname, does that mean they like you? If it spreads and everyone uses it, does that mean you're popular?

It means that they're thinking of you, good or bad. :P

After Hurricane Katrina we realized we had to put The PR into school (I had been homeschooling her because I wasn't happy with the social interactions in the public schools.) Since we didn't know which one of us would get a job (although I was drawing retirement from the state) that seemed to be the best solution. We put her in public school for about 2 months. I was not happy that her lunch time was spent in a classroom with only a male teacher. I happened to see a friend with a handicapped daughter who told me the Catholic school for exceptional students was open and had openings. I called the next day and made arrangements to enroll her there.
Since the school drew from many areas I realized this would be a brand new start with mostly brand new friends. So I told her to pick a nickname she'd like to be known as. Her prompt response was NELLIE. And that is how my Eleanor got her nickname.

Nellie is a cool name. And she still uses it now?
Lunch with only a male teacher, that would make me nervous.
On Facebook I use a shortened version of my name. I go by it at the Salvos too, where I have it on a name badge.
