My mom used to call me Tushy Face. Actually she still does. We'll be in a store and she'll shout "Tushy Face!" to get my attention. It doesn't even phase me anymore. People also called me Care Bear, or just Bear.
I have tons of nicknames for my LO. Usually something like Sugar Poo, Rosie Poo, Rosie Posie, etc. I picture myself doing what my mom did and calling "Rosie Poo!" really loud in a store when LO is 13.
Did you have a nickname? Did you give one to LO?

haha I just answered the other question with this answer!
My dad used to call me his little gangajee (puppy in korean) and smellytoe (he'd pronounce it schmellytoe) but I haven't called RJ those! Maybe because we actually have puppies and RJ's toes don't smell... yet 
My mom calls me sweetheart a lot and I call my dogs that. Haha.
I call RJ lots of things... sometimes Junior... but there has been a nickname progression ever since he was born. It went: buh-BAH, bub, bub-bub, beub, my lil beub, bub-boo, bah-boo, my sweet baboo, and now I call him boo or booboo.

I didn't go by my legal name. I went by a nickname. My nickname is now my legal name because I changed it when I got married.

My mom had said that when I was a baby she called me Tata Legs - referring to my pudgy legs. Apparently they looked like 2 potatoes stacked up.
Fortunately, we let that one go!

My parents called me Boo when I was little but that one has since died. My dad still has lots of nicknames for me which I love. It's something special that just him and I have since he doesn't have nicknames for anyone else. He'll call me Ralph (most common, no idea where it came from), Half Pint, Frog, or Choir Girl (another completely random name). I return the favor by calling him Fat Boy, Sissy Boy, or Daddy Paddy.

When I was bad, I was "Terrible Tilly." My Dad's nickname for me as a kid was Bunky. I have no clue where that came from. My Dad brought Tilly up during his father of the bride speech! I was mortified!
