Ok, I started the group therefore I will break the proverbial ice!

My knickname obviously, is Moose.  I received my name the day I was born by a nurse in the hospital nursery.  When I was born I weighed 10 pounds and was 24 inches long!!  I did not fit into any of the basinets they had and they needed to go into the storage and bring out an old incubator so they had a bed for me to fit in!  When they got me settled one of the nurses was joking around with the rest and decided to grab a marker, flip my name tag over and write "Moose" on the back.  When my father got my mother sttled into her room he came to get me and bring me up and he just about FLIPPED when he couldnt fing my tag anywhere.  Finaly the nurses came over and said "Oh you mean 'Moose", hes over here, hes fine."

My father just laughed...

So.  Whos next?  Come on, dont be shy.  If you are looking for a name than tell us about yourself and we will generate one for you!!  This should be fun.

Moose

I have a few nicknames.... Bubby Chubbs od Bubbs being the oldest and the one my family calls me...When I was born a family friend was looking at me and said "Oh, look at those bubby chubbs...." refering to my chubby cheeks...and it stuck :)

I also get called Mitzi...because I have strong little mitts (hands).

Emmiline, Em and Emmy and all nicknames too...just variations of my name though...and kind of boring :)

I don't have one yet. Is that bad?

I think we should call her GLIMMER. What do you think?

Ummm.....No.

i got my nickname from my advisor shannon. there were 2 Ashleys and i was the smaller and younger of the two. she started callin me Half-Pint and it stuck. the cops in Social Circle like to call me lil bit

Ummm, yeah. I think alot of us would be nicknamed S***head or A**hole. It should really come from your local buds in the department.

Nicknames are historically earned on the fire ground or in the house, from a specific incident or activity.  Usually an embarrassing event that you would rather forget is the one that will stick.

Good thing I haven't messed up that bad yet then.

Swamp Donkey??? LMAO Niiice! Sounds like a fun story!!

Ahhh ok, gotcha! ;) When I was in the 8th grade we actually made a play out of the movie Shrek, and guess who played Donkey.....Yours truly! ;) I've actually got the voice down pretty good, if only you guys could hear it! lol Ever since then I have been my dad's "little jackass"!!
