My real name is considered a nickname. I get people wondering if that’s my real name, I show them my drivers license to prove it
popmol · 26-30, M
@specman ooh dear that seems like it could get annoying!
specman · 51-55, MVIP
@popmol yeah it does sometimes
popmol · 26-30, M
@specman i'm sorry to hear ;(

SW-User
I don't have any steady one.
But my family always called me a shortened version of my name.
popmol · 26-30, M
@SW-User well i hope my future partner doesn't mind because i'll spoil her and also put her belly full with food! 🤣
SW-User
@popmol Eh, she will be lucky to have that. Well, maybe less full belly but yes, lucky.
popmol · 26-30, M
@SW-User i hope she thinks the same 😍

I have not had a nick-name for years; but have done many decades ago.

I was once in a small club with less than twenty members, but of whom three of us shared the same Christian-name, so I think we adopted nick-names to overcome that difficulty.

My nick-name on here contracts the real "Arish Mell" two-word name - of a small bay on the SW English coast. I do not know its etymology, which is quite likely Old English (e.g. heavily Saxon-influenced).
popmol · 26-30, M
@ArishMell haha that makes it tough. ooh i see sounds pretty nice!

I attended a christian college during the fall of 1984, and spring of 1985. During my year there I acquired three nicknames from a few of my friends. They were : crash, preacher, and dealer. There is a story behind each nickname. If interested, just ask.
popmol · 26-30, M
@powernap why crash and dealer?
powernap · 56-60, M
@popmol a couple days after the start of the school year I was in my room room and turned around and kind of lost my balance and my shoulder hit the door post as I was leaving. One of my room mates just named me crash, and it stuck.

Ever week on Tuesday night they had a get together where bible majors would get practice delivering sermons. I signed up for on night and the turn out was huge, so a couple of my friends started calling me preacher.

On campus, there was no physical contact between men and women. They had a special area you could go to with your gf or bf and visit. This area was closely monitored. The slang term, if you were interested in a woman was "dealing" on them. I had one date and the guys picked up on it and started calling me "dealer".
popmol · 26-30, M
@powernap theres a reason i asked only 2 out of 3.
Raaii · 22-25, F
ରାଈ/ rai or raaii or raii like that
It's one common nick name I got with m good name
I'm not sure abt the one particular english spelling though


Anyway
You really didn't know m nickname before?
popmol · 26-30, M
@Raaii not sure, i just thought that's you name.
Raaii · 22-25, F
@popmol that really is
popmol · 26-30, M

Nitedoc · 51-55, M
The Wolf.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@popmol Is it though? You find it silly? Wow! I expected more out of you.
popmol · 26-30, M
@Nitedoc you know the saying of the smallest dogs bark the loudest.

again if you keep saying everyone look i'm a "sigma male" unironically i'll just laugh in your face.

it's a JOKE!
it's people that were "alpha males" and against "beta males", mixing stereotypes, political sides and differences in men to make people on the internet to fight over, to than change it to sigma males because of "alpha ones" being associated with chauvanist and extremist.

so they decided to rebrand as "sigma males" to earn money by tricking gullible and vulnerable men by a fake lifestyle of muscle, cars, cigars and money and supermodels on their arms.

so again, if someone tell me they are a "sigma male" call someone a "beta male" "soy boy" or "alpha" i either think i'm sorry to hear you fell for their scheme or my god you find yourself that great and have that much of an ego you think yourself the greatest. a gift to the world.

let me break you bubble you are not.
not because you attack people you're a wolf you're just an aggressive dude who can't hold in his anger. now it might be true you lived in a shit place with loads of those people so you adapted to be equally aggressive and then you have a slight bit of my pity!
But to be the "true man" and awesome, you'd need to over come that and be the better man.

Also, just to throw a fun curve ball this all originated from "alpha and beta" which came from research about wolves, that there was an "alpha wolf" and a the others.
but the same researches and others found out that what he said was total nonsense and was because these were wolves in captivity that acted that way, and not even all wolves in captivity just that group!
so it's stupid stuff, based on falsehoods.

i'm sick and tired of this bullshit.

ps. i'm young, i remember what most people tell me certainly if they bring it up a lot. so i know you think of yourself as a "sigma" you definitely never need to repeat it again unless you stop with that stuff than i'd like to congratulate you!

My father calls me Sunshine still and my sister calls me Nickel. 😂
popmol · 26-30, M
@JustNik Why nickel? Although Nickel Sunshine seems nice!
JustNik · 51-55, F
@popmol My name’s Nikki so I suppose it came naturally, although I imagine she’d have sold me for about that much when I was a kid. 🤭
popmol · 26-30, M
@JustNik ooh dear 😱🤣 also lovely name!
I've had a few at different stages of life, most were plays off my last name, my >> larger than average size, etc

@Baz87 A very fun one!
SW-User
popmol · 26-30, M
@SW-User odd one, where does it come from?
popmol · 26-30, M
@Madmonk Nice and simple!
"Len" or Lenny" - from both my friends and family .
But weirdly for completely different reasons and evolutions of it.

They say nicknames are supposed to be your true name if people use them more than your actual one 🤷
popmol · 26-30, M
@OogieBoogie i wonder how they got to that name!
@popmol Well one is a very long story with an evolution of a nickname changing throughout highschool , the other is just a short abbreviation of my birth name.

I just thought it funny they both came out to be the same.
I mean, I wonder what the chances are that that could happen 🤔🤷
popmol · 26-30, M
@OogieBoogie i think 1 in 259673! 🤔
Sroonaka616 · 31-35, M

popmol · 26-30, M
@Bignakedguy lol, are you a nudist?
Bignakedguy · 31-35, M
@popmol I sure am
popmol · 26-30, M
@Bignakedguy then it makes all the sense!
acupaday · 46-50, F
I’ve got several of them for whatever reason. Red. Bushwhacking bastard. Jerk. My last name. And a shortened version of my first name.
popmol · 26-30, M
@acupaday that is a bunch, why the second and third one though?
