Have you ever had a nickname?

There are family nicknames, sports team nicknames, nicknames from camp or school or work… And nickname origins often involve a personality trait/quirk or a slightly embarrassing story. Even a short answer to this question gives you tons of conversation starters. “When I played soccer, my teammates called me “Gumby.” Why Gumby? How old were you when you played soccer? What position did you play? Do you still play any soccer? Do you miss organized competition? Have you ever seen an actual episode of Gumby?
