If I want to shorten Robert, why not go with Rob, which makes perfect sense, instead of Bob which really makes no sense at all. And that Jack/John thing?

So there I was and all she did was call me "little miss missy" It is the nickname for Melissa, which I didn't know was my name until I was in the first grade. Your mother-in-law had to teach me how to spell it for school. I of course grew up believing Missy was a little girls name and went my Melissa when I started working. In my first real job, my boss started calling me Melvin, shortened to Mel. So, I go by Missy(my sisters), Miss(Tim), Missen(Bill N),Melvin(coworkers) and Mel(The Huysentruyts) We won't even go where Huysentruyt can become!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26115194.post-62227466925281996012008-04-10T10:18:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:18:00.000-07:00Kludge,I would hate being called peanut butter(WTH...Kludge,<BR/><BR/>I would hate being called peanut butter(WTH?).

I worked with a guy who called me 'peanut butter' it wasn't my favorite, but I knew he was just being chummy. :)<BR/><BR/>I rarely give out nicknames... I suppose its because if I'm going to call someone a name, its because I'm mad at them...<BR/><BR/>Those are rarely endearing!Peter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103156220017676316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26115194.post-26255652866629801532008-04-10T09:47:00.000-07:002008-04-10T09:47:00.000-07:00I love nicknames: giving and receiving them.
