People Are Sharing The Weirdest And Wildest Reasons Why They Got Their Nicknames, And Here Are 30 Hilarious Tweets
Nicknames can end up being either one of the coolest things about you (imagine someone calling you ‘Wolf’ or ‘Ace’) or so embarrassing that you wish nobody ever ends up hearing them again. There’s a small problem, though: you can’t give yourself a nickname; others do it for you. And you can earn your nickname—whatever it might be—completely by accident, without even knowing that some random action will end up defining you for years, and sometimes even decades, to come.
Reporter and published author Erin Somers, from New York, started up a very fun viral thread over on Twitter when she opened up about her sister’s college friend’s nickname (‘Burgers’) and the reason why he got it. “One time he talked about grilling burgers too enthusiastically. You have to be careful,” Erin warned.
She couldn’t have been more right! Her thread quickly went viral and others started sharing their own tales about weird nicknames and how people got them in the most unusual ways. Scroll down for the best article to start your morning, Pandas, because we’ve collected the most interesting responses to Erin’s tweet for you to enjoy. Upvote the posts you enjoyed the most and, if you’re feeling up to it, tell us all about how you or your friends got your nicknames!
Meanwhile, be sure to check out Bored Panda’s interview about fun and funny nicknames, as well as why we use them with comedy writer and author Ariane Sherine, from London.

“Nicknames that are funny and not too mean are always the best ones, and ‘Spider’ is a perfect example,” comedy writer Ariane told Bored Panda, referring to one of the tweets in the thread about a person being called ‘Spider’ because they bought three pairs of jeans during one shopping trip.
“‘Opposite’ nicknames can also be funny, like when a very tall person is called ‘Tiny.’ I think cool and funny tend to be mutually exclusive. I mean, ‘Spider’ is a cool nickname unless people discover the reason behind it!” she said that nicknames are usually either cool or funny, but never (or rarely!) both.

I worked in a store with a bunch of fellow-20-somethings once, and we had one little adorable 16-year old coworker, we were like his big sisters. We called him Junior Chicken. When he turned 18 and was about to graduate, we started calling him Senior Chicken. Now he’s in his mid twenties and we’re all still friends - I need to upgrade his chicken nickname (“chickname” if you will.) 🤔 adult chicken? Big boy chicken? He owns a company now - CEO chicken?

That was until the day the man drove me so completely up the wall i got really super annoyed and yelled at him "You're not cool enough to be 'EVIL Phil'! They ought to call you guys Fresh phil and STALE Phil!!" he was called Stale Phil for the rest of the time I knew him. By EVERYONE. I was just the first person to lose their cool with him - he annoyed EVERYONE.

I had two female colleagues in the same office both called Nichola. The one who was there first was called Nichola and the second one who joined later was called Big Nick due to her size. She hated that nick name but unfortunately it stuck!
According to Ariane, people often come up with nicknames to either amuse themselves or to be affectionate. “I use loads of nicknames for my friends, but I wouldn’t call them nicknames if they minded,” she said that we always have to be aware how the people closest to us react to how we call them.
The comedy writer opened up about the nicknames used in her social circle. “I call my lovely ex-boyfriend Kieran ‘Pooky’ because it makes me laugh and is a reference to my favorite film ‘13 Going on 30.’ I call my great friend John ‘John Bon Jovial’ because he’s always so cheery,” Ariane shared.

Erin’s tweet was immensely popular. At the time of writing, her tweet about nicknames got over 104k likes (and counting!). It’s obvious that people really enjoyed the unusual topic with a heavy dose of humor.
In fact, the reporter’s thread finally convinced us that the reasoning behind nicknames really doesn’t have to make sense or be super deep. Heck, someone might see you eating a mayonnaise sandwich, call you ‘Mayo,’ and then you’re stuck with that for the rest of your natural lifespan. That sounds absolutely horrible or quite a bit of fun, depending on your point of view.

I knew someone called Michael who's nickname was Moses. I'm pretty sure it's not the same guy from OPs post though as this was in South Africa in the late 90s. I think the nickname came from a time he was found motherless (very drunk) in some bullrushes.

Rambo was kinda my nickname too! I hated it (none of my family or friends called me it, but the rest of the kids in my year group called me it throughout secondary school) It all started because my dad gave me a terrible haircut when I was 11, I spent that night crying and the next day being bullied mercilessly by everyone. Suddenly 10 minutes before home time, the most popular guy in our year jumped up out of his chair and screamed "RAMBO" while pointing at me (he spent the rest of the class explaining that I'd reminded him of someone and he'd been trying to figure out who all day..) the name stuck and was only made worse when I got into a few fights in the following weeks defending myself from bullies, apparently I impressed a lot of people with my fighting skills (I was very introverted and well behaved so most people were shocked) I was called this for the next 5 & 1/2 yrs (and still occasionally run into people I went to school with who call me it, I'm 36 now!)

Pretty much anything you do can end up earning you a new moniker. And it must really hurt when you end up getting yours for something random that you do instead of what you wish you were known for.
Imagine being an incredibly skilled runner who’s passionate about health, fitness, and the great outdoors. Then, someone notices you eating a bunch of eggs or you do something really dumb in college, and you’re forever branded with something God-awful.

See, I was told Toasted Buns sat on the wood-burning stove, but that was probably a different Toasted Buns.
It’s pretty darn hard to shake a nickname once you’ve ‘earned’ it. Even if it was entirely by mistake. Try being the guy who gets called ‘Baghdad’ because they got a bag from their dad. That practically borders on bullying and has got to go against at least a few points in the Geneva Convention, no? Yeah, we’ll say ‘no’ to school reunions from now on.
The fact is that nicknames really can cause some serious self-esteem issues in people if they’re used maliciously. Even if someone doesn’t have any evil intentions, teasing someone can make them lose confidence in their identity. I’ve never had to deal with any horrible nicknames myself, but being the target of bullies is something I’m very familiar with (and I’ll bet a lot of you reading this are, too).

It’s not just nicknames that might cause potential issues, though. A person’s given name can make the victim of bullying, too. Lauren Seager-Smith, the CEO of Kidscape, explained to Bored Panda earlier that some names can make kids more apparent targets.
“With some names, it may be more obvious why children would find them fascinating or amusing—with others, this will be out of your hands, so while you may want to take reasonable precautions in naming your child the focus should always be on empowering children to recognize and respond to bullying behavior,” Lauren pointed out that parents should try to instill a sense of pride in their children so that they have a strong sense of self.

My brother was "Smoky" or "Smoky Bear" because he had a summer job in high school cleaning up neighborhood construction sites and burning the trash he collected.
According to the expert, parents shouldn’t underestimate the impact that bullying has. They should try to find ways to help make their kids feel proud of who they are, whatever their name, family situation, or background. At the same time, she stressed that “bullying is never acceptable.”
The fact is that bullies can latch on to a target for any number of reasons, for example, if someone has a ‘funny’ name, wears glasses, is a bit overweight, has a difficult family situation, or anything else. The CEO of Kidscape told us that when someone attacks a kid’s identity, they require the support of their parents and their social circle.

A friend of mine in college and I both had the same first name, Michael. I was 6'4", and he was 5'9". To differentiate us, people began calling us "Big Michael" and "Little Michael". Being sensitive about his height, he didn't like this. So he devised a nickname for me so he could just stay "Michael". My last name is Largey, so he began calling me "Key", after the film "Key Largo". So I was "Key" for the rest of college. Did I mind being nicknamed after a Humphrey Bogart classic?
