My Dad had a couple of nicknames for me. My friend Paula (r.i.p sweet) always called me Mazza. |

I was in the pub up north when this fella (Maori) who is a builder, he gave himself the nickname 'Chocolate Chippy' we all cracked up over that one and the name stuck. Most called him Choc or Chip. One of my mates up there had a large full sized beard and he had a lot of trees & bamboo around his home. He was named 'Jungle Bunny' |

Always called Bubby by my brothers and my Father. Obvious reason being I was the youngest by 6 years and only girl. Was a tad embarrassing when I was being dropped off at flicks and dances and shit cos my brother would yell out in front of all me mates. Pick ya up later Bubby.  |

The name most people call me isn't my real one. Apart from that I've not really had nicknames besides the usual stupid soppy stuff Mr calls me  Kids have a huge list of silly names we call them, most are cute but some are pretty disparaging. |
