Nicknames

I am a nickname person. I find it difficult to call people by their real or full names. It bugs me when people have names that don't shorten or are hard to make nicknames for.

I have a lot of nicknames myself. Some normal ones and some reallllly random ones. Here they are:

Rooster/Roost (Dad calls me that)
Rachyroo
Rach
Raquel
Boosey (Kim Blatter made this one up in high school and still to this day calls me that. Along with the whole Blatter family)
Giggs
Ray
Geeju
and last but not least, Rash.

Now, "Rash" is the one I want to talk about. This nickname was made up by my little brother a few years back. Don't ask me where it came from because I have no idea! Neither does he! And no, I did not have some sort of freakish rash that gave me that nickname. When my brother started calling me Rashy and Rash I did not think it would catch on and he would move onto another nickname. But for some reason Rash just stuck. Slowly it moved to my dad, then my brother in law, then my sisters, friends, and roommates, and now my work friends call me that. One of my work friends even introduced me to people as "Rash". Sure, it's fun having a nickname that everyone uses...but Rash? Really? I guess it is different and no one else will ever have that nickname. So thanks Price, for spreading the nickname that will stick and everyone will definitely remember.
