So yeah, over the years I've had quite a few nicknames. Some have stuck with me, others have fallen off into the abyss of forgoteness. Anywho, here they are.
Let's see...we'll start with when I was ittybitty. When I was little little, my parents came up with several stupid petnames for me. One of them was Kenzie (Note: I guess I should have said awhile ago, my full name is Mackenzie. Just to avoid confusion.) Which I guess I don't mind. Its really just a shorter and easier to spell/pronounce version of my real name. But then they shortened it even more to Kenz. Then somehow they came up with all this other junk, like Keeks, McKeykers, Kenzers, and so on. (The only reason you would call me any of that now is if you have a death-wish. Not even kidding.)
Then, when I was in first grade, my teacher started calling me Mack. She is the ONLY person I have ever known to do so, until recently. My Lit/Comp teacher now calls me Mack on all my papers, for some reason...
Then in maybe 5th grade, all the girls in my class wanted to come up with nicknames for each other. I thought it was stupid, but I went along with it. I chose one of my parents stupid petnames, KiKi, for myself. I don't know why, but everyone freaking loved it. I'm still called that by quite a few people today, although somewhere along the line I changed the spelling to KeKe because that made more sense. And I didn't think it was possible, but they managed to shorten even this one to just plain Kee. So if I ever hear anyone yelling "Kee!" down the hall at me, that's my que.
Then...let's see...urhm, in 7th grade my class only had 7 people in it, and we all came up with different nicknames (which we later put on shirts, I still have mine) Mine was Muffin. (Yeah yeah, I know. Get it all out of your system.) Maybe two people from that class still call me that.
8th grade...hm, nothing new there. I didn't have many friends in 8th grade cuz that was the year I moved to a new school. Don't worry though, I have friends now.
9th grade. (The most current) I had this streak of rebellion where I dyed my hair bright-freaking-red (Which only lasted a week) However, during this time the names Strawberry, Ichigo (which means strawberry in Japanese), Strawberry Shortcake, and Ginger managed to pop up. Like, one person still calls me Ichigo and its not really that often.
Anyway, the only ones that managed to stick are KeKe, Kenzie, Kenz, and of course my parents still insist on calling me all the stupid junk they came up with. I kind of prefer a nickname, actually. My real name is too complcated. I mean, come on, there's a Z in there! I bet you don't have a Z in your name, do you?
