how do you get your nicknames?

[Deleted User]

Because im as quick as lightening. NOT

[Deleted User]

a guy years ago used to call everyone by their name and add lips to the end (small things still keep him well amused) always sounded stupid until he got to me one day and said Charlotte Lips, nah, thats dumb (no kidding) then he said charlie lips, hey thats cool (well as I said, small things) and sadly to this day, it has stuck

Helegant

Helen Wheels, after the Paul McCartney song, and because I am circular and roll along rather than run

Plum

From my E-mail address which came about through the name of mynrunning club and has been messed about with ever since depending on my mood.

[Deleted User]

No3 because there were three Lees'where i used to work and i was the last to join.
The slimmed down version because i used to write it number3.

[Deleted User]

I can't remember how I got mine. I think it is due to being an overweight slaphead

[Deleted User]

'cos my real ones don't work, and I have to get by with a mechanical one. (it weighs about 300lbs and steers like a shopping trolley! (bit like me after a few lagers)).

[Deleted User]

[Deleted User]

Well Caz is my real name, so how boring is that?!

[Deleted User]

Ok it's short for Caroline, but you already worked that one out.

[Deleted User]

Similar story to Caz. My real name is Samantha, I wanted to use Sam but someone is already using it and so I put the next best thing which is Sammy. How amazing is that - NOT!

[Deleted User]

Becos I'm rarely good - but usually naughty

lanky_liz

Well my name is Elizabeth and I currrently live in Bangkok......but I actually ripped the name of that film 'Duece Bigalo Male gigalo'. Have you seen it? Dueces mum was a bangkok hooker called betty......not that I am. I'm a respectable teacher!!

[Deleted User]

I'm not Romanian runner Maricica (Linca) Puica who has a pretty darn fast one mile time of 4m17s33 to her name and I didn't even get the name from her.

I was trying to come up with a name to use online back in 1993 when I was signing up to a MUD. Linca came to me from my name, Rebecca Lynn, mixed around and swapping the y for an i. I have used Linca as my online name for various games and things ever since then.

Seela

Because I'm a dog and my name is Mak. Its just that lacking opposable digits I need a human to do the typing for me.

[Deleted User]

Well, someone has to put the 'aaahh!' factor in, so here goes.......

I'm Sassie because someone very special calls me that. My real name is Shirley, which I hate, loathe and detest! It just isn't me at all (comments from Benz, JJ and EP, who've met me, welcome).

[Deleted User]

School cross country. People would say who's that "fat kid at the back"? It was me!

NB. School days were not the best days of my life.

Womble

I've strayed over the road from Wimbledon Common and run in Richmond Park mostly, trying to keep that tidy instead. There's a lot of us you know, really. Our favoured football club is AFC Wimbledon :-) because they're not moving to MK :-((

Godzilla

Two kids heckled me....

Jose.

i hate MK (not the city nor the people) just the fact, you know what i mean

[Deleted User]

Linca When you were signing up for a MUD was that the fan club. Can you still do the dance to Tiger feet

[Deleted User]

Oh I remember Mud - we used to do a funny little dance to Tiger feet at the school disco!!

And yes - in case you were wondering - when I run I get very red in the face from over heating and although I have lost over 3 stone I could probably do with losing 2 more - so Hot Tub describes me well (unfortunately!!)

My aim is to lose the rest of my weight by Jan 2004 when I am running Disney so I can be reborn in my new identity of Running Goddess ( in my dreams!!)
