People at work call me Mad Dog/The Dog/Dog which I find hilarious.
How about y'all?

I've never been given an actual nickname. Closest I've ever gotten was my roommates uncle forgetting my name and calling me Scout.

I've also never had a nickname except for my parents mistaking me for my sisters.

My mom calls me Ga, short for palangga which kinda translates to darling or beloved? Basically someone you love. I think it's really cute

i also have never really gotten a nickname irl, other than the pet names my parents gave me as a kid? and of those they really only call me 'gumman' now (literally translates to little old lady, but is probably most often used as a term of endearment for women and girls, generally those much younger or younger+related, and in some circles between friends). it's cute though, i like it!

most of mine are various iterations of my real name. here are a few that aren't, though:
-soror; latin for "sister" -Shad; from my screen name -Quies; from the Night Owlz -The One Weed (long story...involves a big green blanket) -Koshechka; husband's endearment term for me, it's a diminutive of "kitten" in Russian. -Kiwi; also from husband, both after the fruit and bird (??) -Kazoo Queen; used to toot one at the end of every day in school -hot chocolatey mielk; yes based on the meme
there's probably more obscure ones that i can't remember.
seriously though off the top of my head i can count... seven nicknames based on my first name that i am called with various frequency, one of which i prefer to go by in daily life in lieu of my full name.

My family members use my name's diminutive, and then almost every other nickname I've been called has just been various short forms of my real name.
Out of ones that aren't normal nicknames, my best friend sometimes affixes -saur to the end of my real name like we're 2010 RAWR XD kids, then some of my work friends call me Baba Yaga or Cryptid, and my family also sometimes calls me Strašidlo which is Czech for monster/ghost lol Me and my siblings also refer to each other with blatant insults quite often bc siblings :^) whenever one of them calls me Clown Shoes it kind of cracks me up.

Well When i was less then a year old I was named a shorter variation of my name, then it was Bubbles like 2 years later, and then it was another shorted version of my name and then I changed the spelling of it so that it was almost the exact same thing as my friend's nickname and then it was another shorted version, and then something like my actual name, but just my friend miss spoke and BOOM, nickname has been created, then it was another shorted version of my name, but then there was always the weird ones like banana, or cup cake, or sunshine.

So in summary, I've had a lot of nicknames that were just shortened versions of my real name
