Youngster it was DIGGER. Everybody said I was always digging the hole deeper with everything bad I did - so the nickname DIGGER was given to me.
High school it was RUG by the buds. Whenever the buds found me I was usually covering a gal like a good rug would - hense the nick name. A few others also.

Mine was given by my coworkers, and from them it was like an oscar, since they were a crazy bunch. CAM T as in "crazy ass mark" and T for my last name.
It stuck for my whole career

I have had a number of nicknames, and none of which I particularly liked and the very first one I hated. This happened when I was in the first grade. Near halloween, my mother bought me a mask. This mask at first was a delight since most of the kids wore them at recess. However, my mask was mostly black and I gained the name "N" word and could not shake it for several years.
Much later, while a member of the sales training staff, I was given the nickname of "Waco" because i was from Texas and the national sales manager was from WACO, thus I became WACO.
Later, back in Houston, I was given the moniker of Big Bopper by my manager and that stuck for the period of time i was in that office.
A bunch of monikers I never liked, and others were better than the first one. Just Sayin....RJS

RJ how did you avoid the name Tex? Although none of the texas boys i knew in marines were ever called tex either. 👍

Well, as a lieutenant I did not get a nickname and later, I lived back in Texas for a number of years before moving to New York and that’s where I was dubbed Waco! Just Sayin... RjS

Mine started as toothpick then plyer mouth then all the way up to deaf hog. Even from my so called friends. I was still being called that in high school. They all hurt so much. I just curled up and became a loner. As it stands now, my wife is the only friend I've got.

I guess mine kind of got started from the neighbor boys calling me Whitey. Never bothered me. My last name is white lol.
