My funniest nickname of mine & most random would be "Beer". When I first became friends with one of my best friends, Rachel, she called me Schaefer, as did everyone else I was on drill team with. We had 4 Nicole's on the team, so all of us went by our last name to keep things less confusing. I was over at her house one day and her older brother, Dallas, who I'd never met before was home. She introduced me to him as Schaefer, and he was like--her name is really Schaefer? Like Schaefer Beer? He thought it was funny, so from there on out Dallas has called me Schaefer Beer, it soon caught on though and Rach and several of our other friends started calling me that, pretty soon the Schaefer part was lost and here I am, just "Beer."
It's sort of funny when my friends will out of habit, introduce me as Beer, or shout it out in public, or occasionally someone even calls me that at church. People's reactions are definitely priceless--some people laugh, and some give you really dirty looks. I don't think my mother is very fond of the name, but I find it kinda funny. Besides, if Lucille Ball likes it, I should be proud to call it my name, even if I don't drink :)
Several years ago Rachel, Jaynee, and Hope posted these funny pictures on facebook for my birthday.
I love these dorks...they've got great nicknames themselves :)
