Hi lovely community! Hope you're doing well today 🌼

Let’s get a little personal and a little playful:

What’s a nickname you’ve had (or still have!), and what’s the story behind it?

🐝 Was it something sweet from childhood?

📞 A work nickname that stuck?

🎯 Or something totally random you never expected?

We’d love to hear how people in your life have uniquely seen you, and the memories that come with it.

Take care,

My nickname was titch, because i was always out and about with 16 and 17 year old's when I was 9 or 10. That's what happened when you live in the countryside.

I'm not sure why really but I was called something else when I worked as a cleaner in a school someone called me Big Bird off sesame Street, I guess that's because of my height and haggrigs mum again because of height I'm 6.3, but the last two were to wind me up but I just said we'll at least I'm famous lol

I'm known as Detective Donnelly in many FB groups which I control as an Admin. I'm always on the look out for security features in the groups and on my page.

Apart from a few derogatory ones aimed at my appearance in school, none that I know of.
