Do you use a childhood nickname as an adult? Who would go by "Scooter" unless you were a ballplayer or such?

well, Woody...... my Grandkids call me Bubby .... my wife calls me a**hole occasionally, but I don't think I'd introduce myself as either.

I agree, 'Scooter' is an odd nickname for a grown man. Kind of like 'Buffy' and 'Missy'. If his boyhood peers had named him 'Pinhead', would he still be using it?

A 40ish woman introduced herself to me and said, You can call me 'Punkin'. And I thought, Oh, no, I can't.

She remained namesless.

Don't commonly use a nickname, but as an internet name I often use Razzgospel. My Father and my oldest sister both were called Rassy, but for zome reason, I never way. My Dad's nickname for me was Slewfoot. I'd rather not remember it, thank you...

Still Jerry after all these years

Not me, but the actress Tuesday Weld was actually named Susan.

How about Kinko of Kinko's? He was named for his hair.

I guess its better than 'turdblossom' but then again, I don't think he actually introduced himself that way. Makes you wonder what other 'pet' names float around the Whitehouse.

It's a high society thang. The upper echelons are filled with Sissys and Boopsies and Didis and Dodies, Babe Paley, CZ Guest, Baby Jane Holtzer...the beat goes on and on. What a swell party this is.
