Amusing nicknames.

My parents know me as "ouffie" (or however you spell it).

What's your most amusing nickname? Post here or make it a meme.

I was "Esqueleto" (skeleton) `cause i was so skinny.

I'm "Squiggle" (no clue why) or "Liffy" (I seem to recall a vague connection to Liffey in Dublin).

Truff.

"Mushroom". Not sure why, Mum's a loony :-)

To be clear, this was my nickname when little, it's not ongoing.

We'll be badgering you about it anyway.

If I had any good ones, I don't remember. After a trip to Italy when I was small I became Rachelino.

Mostly though, my parents used "Rachel! Boys! Stop that!" Lack of imagination.

For several years recently my brother called me Pitch.

My dad used to call me Emlyn. But my name doesn't really lend itself to modification.

My parents used to refer to my sister (Sandra) and I as Sandrew.

When I was little my parents regularly called me Piglet, Sausage, Sandwich (as in Victoria, arf arf), Chunky Mops (Spoonerism of Monkey Chops), etc etc etc.

They still call me Piglet by default, including in public, which is more embarrassing than amusing these days but you know, what can you do? :-)

Start reading RPG (err. Rocket Propelled Grenage, not the other one) catalogues in front of them?

Rocket Propelled Grenage

I'm assuming that is a typo for Rocket Propelled Greengage? Interesting concept.

Dave.

My parents call me 'Pooh' since it was apparently my first word (picture n-month old Rich sitting on a rug going 'poooh.. poooooooh..').

I was (and occasionally still am) "Sjefke".

I'm named after a friend of the family. To prevent confusion, when we were visiting them or vice versa, I was known as "little J." and he as "big J.". Of course, little J-s grow up, and at some point I objected to being called little (I'll have been about five). So my dad came up with Sjefke.
