Once you get a nickname you really have a hard time losing it. Most people have one. I am lucky (??) enough to have three.
#1--Hoot. Yes, you did read that right. My very first nickname. I have no recolection of how it started or why, but to this day some of my old family friends and family still call me Hoot.
#2--Lens. This came from some guy that asked me if I had a nickname and of course not wanting to tell him "Hoot" I just replied that people often just call me Linds. Well he obviously didn't understand and proceeded to write me something addressed to "Lens" (as in contact). Well once that story was told Lens really stuck.
#3--Chopper. No I don't own a motorcycle. This very strange/stupid girl that worked at Shennanigan's would ask me what my name was EVERY shift we worked together for four months. Then one day she asked me "is your name Chopper?" Well of course everyone thought that was hilarious so now nickname #3 is here to stay.
P.S.--I always think of this episode when I think of nickanmes!
