Nickname

By Katie

I would like my nickname to be Kit Kat. I want Kit Kat to be my nickname because that's what my best friend from my school in Lancaster used to call me. The name Kit Kat comes from the K in my name. When she thought about the K in my name she thought, oh Kit Kat is a good name for Katie. So the next day at school she told me about the nickname. She told me how she thought of it and then we told everyone else and they all started to call me Kit Kat too. Then we all started to think of nicknames for each other.


 

I like this nickname cause it is funny and fun to say. My friends thought it was a good nickname for me. I think so too. But when I came up here to lo-Inyo I wasn't called Kit Kat anymore. Know I am transferring back down to Lancaster and they will probably call me Kit Kat still. That is okay with me. We never did think of nicknames for them but that was okay they still clled me Kit Kat.

Nickname

By Angela

My nickname is Manzanita, which in English means apple. At first only my sister called me Manzanita but then she started to call me that at school. People that speak Spanish knew that that meant apple, but the ones that talked English didn't know what that meant. People started to ask what Manzanita meant so we would tell them that it meant apple. After a while people started to call me apple too. So now some people call me Apple and some people call Manzanita. I don't really have a favorite they both mean the same thing so it is whatever to me.

I think it is pretty cool that my nickname is Manzanita because when my mom was younger her nickname was Manzanita too. When my godmother came down she always would call my mom Manzana because Manzanita is for a child not an adult. My godmother is my mom's sister so it was cool to see that when I get older my sister might call me Manzana. The reason my nickname is Manzanita/Apple is because usually when I get embarrassed I turn red kind of like an apple. It is also funny because when they call me that I also turn red! I like my nickname and hope to keep it for a long time.

Tiny

By Isai

I wish my nickname was Tiny. Tiny was all Andy's idea like three or four months ago. Once Juan, Andy, Alec, Milton, Michelle, Cash, and Greg came out of fourth period. They all had nicknames like Chipotle Buns. Andy said I was giganto be Tiny and Jacob be Big Carl. So, we could have a big guy with a small name and a small guy with a big name. We only used the nickname for one day.

I like Tiny because I think it is funny because I'm big. Tiny sounds more like a nickname for a little guy. Tiny is like the complete opposite of me. And that's why I wish my nickname was Tiny!

Nicknames

My nickname is Izzy. Some of my friends call me Izzy because my middle name is Israel so for short they call me Izzy. I got my nickname at school. One day I told my friend Angela my middle name and she told me it would be cool if my nickname was Izzy and I thought it was a great idea so I kept it.


 

I've had the nickname since I first came to this school. I like the nickname because I have never met someone named Izzy. So it is a new thing. I've had many other nicknames but Izzy is the only one I've liked so far. Ill probably have many other nicknames in my life time but I want to have izzy.

Aly’s Ideas…

By Aly

My nickname is Wolfy, and I have a pretty good understanding of this. So I am going to explain… When my father was is the Navy, and he was docked, he and his friends would go out drinking. Well he normally kept his temper; unless it was a full-moon. It turns out that if he went drinking on full-moons he would get in trouble with the law, and every time he would get escorted back to the boat. So finally his buddies gave him the nickname, Wolf. He tried to stay out of bars on full moons by trading shifts with other people on the ship, and he did pretty well at that. But he still got in trouble on full-moons occasionally.

    How I got the nickname is sort of the same. No, I was never in the navy, but I do tend to get more daring and wilder near full-moons. If it is a full-moon, and you hang around me at night, you would see that I am not exaggerating. I tend to go around running and jumping off of things, I also have had anger issues on full moons, like my dad, and I've gotten into a couple fights as well, even though I never started them, my dad said he would ground me for like a month! So I guess you could say; I'm following in my fathers footsteps, even though I don't even notice. I also do try to control myself during full moons, but like I said before, I sometimes don't notice. So that's why my nickname is Wolfy. It's not a good nickname, but I like it.

My Nickname’s

By Nefer

One of my nicknames is Nefart. A lot of people call me that because last year I used to fart a lot.Last year I didn't really care where and when I farted. I just farted anywhere and tried to blame it on someone, but everyone knew it was me. I think that the first person to call me Nefart was Daisie. Then one day when Magie went to our house, Daisie told her to call me Nefart, then Magie called me that in school, and everyone else started calling me that! In sixth grade, last year, I kind of liked the nickname. Now this year I don't really fart that much, or if I do I wait until I go outside or go to the bathroom. So, I think I need a new nickname for school!


 

    One of the nicknames I usually hear people call me is Nefer. That's just short for my whole name Nefertity. Everyone calls me that, friends, teachers, and my family. I like Nefer better than Nefertity because its shorter and doesn't sound so Egyptian. Nefer is my favorite nickname out of all the ones I have.!

Nickname!!

By Lupita J

My nickname is Pita, my closest family and friends call me this. They got it from my name Lupita. I like it because it's not like an embarrassing name or anything its normal I guess.


 

I've had my nickname since is I was about four or five. Really I've had more than one but Pita has stuck more than any of the other ones. Before the other ones would only last a week or two then it would go back to Pita. For example my nephews call me Pita for two reasons. One is because that's what they all hear when they are around me. The other reason is because the two twins have problems with their mouths. My friends like Angela and Magie call me Pita. I love this nickname and hope that I have it forever.
