Nick name thread and why

As a kid my nick name was "Chick". It's a play off of my last name. Had at all through grammar school and high school, Even had in on my sports uniforms.

Some how it didn't follow me into college. At Rutgers it became Frank,Frankie, or FrankieC. For a few years in the family and sometimes t this day, I'm called "Spanky", because it rhymes with Frankie, and my sister was screwing around with that old "Name game song.
