    I played competitive sports growing up and baseball was my main focus. My coach and some of the other baseball gurus around the league said that I reminded them of a player from the 60's and 70's who was also named Catfish. It helped that we shared the same last name too. I guess they thought it was flashy! haha

    It's funny, now one of main hobbies is fishing and the nickname has come back. =)

    No, but if you must know, it's because once I'm given a job, I have but one gear. That's to get the job done. Thus Bull Gear.

    When I was stationed in Korea, the locals called me Bear. I guess because of my 6'5" 205lb frame. When I got out of the Army I gained weight, now hovering around 300lb, and my friends say I am no longer a bear, I am now a Grizz. Some also say I remind them of Grizzly Adams, so this nickname has stuck now for 28 years.

    Whew, I have a lot, lol.. Here goes:

    Well, my first name is Felicia, but my family calls me Nicki. It doesn't make much sense, but it came about because my middle name is Monique, so they somehow got it from the "nique" at the end. I only go by Felicia at school and work.

    My Papa has always called me Angel, because right before I was born he was very sick and the doctors didn't think he wold make it, and he's always said when I was born, I became his reason to get better. Nah, I wasn't spoiled or anything, lol :P Him and my Nannie have also called me Pumpkin Pie since I ws little. There's no real reason behind that one, that's just always been my nickname. I don't even like it, haha.

    My grandmother on my mom's side has always called me SunShine.. And yes, according to her, it HAS to be spelled with BOTH S's capitalized! She's um, odd, lol.

    My other grandma on mom's side (my mom's stepmom) has always called me Snickerdoodle, because of my name being Nicki.

    My boyfriend has several for me. The main one is Short Stack, and he also calls me Shorty and Lil One, all because of my height, obviously. I'm 5'3 and he's about 6', 6'1. He also calls me Fruit Loop a lot, lol.

    Yep, he was a Marine.. Him and his best friend went in and neither liked the military once they joined, and my great grandmother would drop them off at the bus station after being home on leave and they would beat her back home, haha.

    It is a war rarely remembered, so it's nice when it's appreciated :)

    Re: Nicknames....post em!
    My name is pretty short to begin with, so I don't really have an "official" nickname... but I am sometimes called the following:

    Lolo - just one friend who calls me this, and I'm not sure how she came up with it. Inspired my screen name, though!
    Red - I'm a redhead, but only strangers dare to use this one. :P
    L - once I complained about not having a name that can be shortened, so my sister dubbed me "L" (first letter of my name)... she's called me that ever since.

    That's about it! Oh, and I also have a Hebrew name... Shulamit Tzivah, after my great-Uncles (Saul/Shlomo & Sam) who both died right before I was born.

    My 3 nicknames are Bear, Bip, and B Rob. I have had bear ever since I was little, and a guy called me Bip at baseball camp so that stuck, and since I play baseball and I am a pitcher and my last name is Roberts, and my first name starts with a B, they call me B-Rob. Sorta like A-Rod.

    All my friends call me Mormon cause I used to be mormon and I was the only one they knew.
