At 9rules, I come up with the nicknames for the crew and they change a lot. For example, today Tyme's name is Cougar after I got done watching the video in this Note. Mike was known as JJ for a long time (nope not telling you what it means) and they have names for me as well that can't be said on a site like this one.
So do people have nicknames for you and if so what are they? Obviously I go by Scrivs to a lot of people, but so does my brother to his friends, which kills it some.

Just Oli really these days... And that's just a shortening from my real name no nothing really magical there...
I use it so much, I'm considering officially changing from Oliver to Oli.

I was Yoda from when I was born until I was about 1. My parents hadn't picked a name for me, and I was bald and had huge ears when born, so they just called me Yoda.

The closest I ever came to having a nickname is AC. In my job whenever you end an interphone transmission you have to give your operating initials (mine are AC) so people often just call each other by those initials.
The rest of my friends just call me Carmody. My entire life I have craved a real nickname :(

First of all there's Jen which is short for Jennifer.
Well, my kickball name is "Jen at Work" (you know, like "Land Down Under")
My friends from my bartending job call me "Mom"
Internet friends call me "alt" or Alt.jen because we have another friend named Jen, and the "alt" just stuck...

No nicknames really, except 'Raven' which is the direct English translation of my Icelandic name. That's something I promote myself, as non-Icelanders sometimes have serious difficulty pronouncing "Hrafn".

I don't really have anything original. Never have... I guess my personality doesn't lend itself to nicknaming. :(
I'm Erin, sometimes shortened to Er. I get called Er-een by my Spanish-speaking friends, even when they speak English. My boyfriend sometimes calls me Eli (El-ee), an abbreviation of my middle name. There are a few pet names thrown in there, too, like mi amor and princesa. And not just my boyfriend uses them. (I love Costa Rican culture.)

I don't have a nickname but want one! I would pick the name "Kalah" which translated from Hebrew is my real name.

For some reason nicknames have never stuck. People try but they never work. Very, very occasionally I'm ClarLou to my family, or Little One. Online I'm Cas and that's actually starting to stick offline as well for some people.

Some people still call me weasel on my tennis team. I guess it started as Weasley (like from Harry Potter) and then they changed it to weasel.

Other than that, "Hey you!!" also works. :)

Do names like Nerdy Nathan Jello-head count? Lots of those as a dorky kid in elementary school, but as the most cunning of dork's know, if you get a mohawk and act tough, you can be the most elite of dorks: punk rockers.
So I picked up Monk the Punk Rocker, which turned into Monk Rocker into Buddha Monk into just plain Buddha which gave way in later years to Nathan from which I derived ClickNathan as my little web designing business and recently others derived Clickety Clack from that.
But these days I feel silly even calling myself Nate, so I just say "Hi I'm Nathan" and inevitably some friend corrects me with one of the above.

Nicknames tend to not stick with me either. My father used to call me Dollis when I was young (I don't really know why), but nowadays it is just plain Ollie (short for Oliver). Some people call me Ol, probably because it is really short, and I'm called Boss at work by a lot of staff, although I really hate that one.

Ah, nicknames. I've gone by both Dave and David. More obscurely, I was Curly in college, Funny in high school, and Cheesy in elementary school. People who met me during these times still tend to use those names. I've also been referred to as D, Big D, and Ray, though none of those are used much now.

Most of my friends just call me by my name (Marco), or by my internet nickname "Griffith".
But since I live in Portugal... some of them pronounce it terribly... If you can think of a way to say Griffith badly, I've certainly heard it.
