I've never gone by nicknames. When I was little (around 2-3), people tried to call me Nikki but I would yell at them or refuse to answer. MH insists on calling me gordita... it technically means little fatty in Mexico, but it's used as a pet name (for anyone, not based on weight). NOT my favorite term of endearment but I guess it stuck.
I have/had quite a bit of nicknames in my lifetime. At my last workplace I had a few nicknames. Our boss called me 5 and some of my co workers called me Minty-Mindy as minty green color was my fave They also called me Mindy Mingles lol
At my current job, my boss and co workers call me Mincy or Mince lol Also, my DH calls me cupcake.
@nlc_atx I used to have a Spanish roommate and as soon as you said Gordita I knew exactly what that meant. I started laughing lol Sorry he calls u that.
I lovingly referred to myself as Mia (which is vaguely a combo of my first and middle names) and that kinda started with a guy friend and I dropped it when my then bf tried to call me Mia lol.
H calls me Sweet Pea or MILF (you can guess which one I prefer 😂😂)
I hike a lot, so I have been given the trail name, Razor. My name is quite long but have never shortened or been given a nickname. But now all my friends call me Razor, so I answer to that more than anything.

@mindyb2019 youve got some good nicknames!!
My family calls me Chuleta (porkchop) 🙈
My name is Jessica, my cousin when she was a baby could just say "Jekka" and it stuck.
Years later my nephew shortened it again to "Caca" so I'm often lovingly called Aunt Caca 😒😆
