Ok, I've had some pretty crazy nicknames in the past from students at my school and even teachers. Family too. I've had Abdominals, Abzeeze, Abinator, Crabby-snail, Betty Boob (don't ask), JEZEBEL! (from a Christian! I'm offended), Caramella, Milkyway, Abergails... the list goes on. See but it started to die down and for a while people started calling me by my REAL name. But now all of a sudden people started calling me Topanga! Topanga! what the heck? Topanga?? from Boy Meets World are you kidding me? Usually when people give me nicknames it makes sense, you know, has a reason behind it or relates to my name in some way. But Topanga?? I don't get it. at all. Everyone in school has been calling me that and I try to ignore them. But four teachers already have called me Topanga and I've only had the nickname for 3 days. I hate my school. lol But seriously how do I stop this madness with the nicknames and what the heck do I have to do with... "Topanga"?

Stupid nickname

Well, maybe they are calling you Topanga after Colin Hay's album. I would take that as a compliment, he is a great artist, he's had a few of his songs played in Scrubs.

I think getting a nickname at all is a sort of compliment, in that it means that people are noticing you and consider you important enough for a special name.

I was talking to my friend on the phone though and casually asked her why she thought people kept calling me that and she said it's different for some people but most of them are implying that I'm "weird" and that I actually look like her. I'm going to leave that one alone though. I'm at a loss for words.

u know when i read that they call u Topanga the first thing i thought of was .ok why that name?? cuz like it;s been of tv for a long time now or is it still coming on? well after i read how ur fried was saying they call u that cuz she (Topanga) is wired. i didn’t pay any attention to it when it was on in the evening but last summer it played liek during the day or something.. watched a few of those and i can’t really remember how she was weird. maybe i haven’t seen those episodes or something i dk.. but wut i do remember about her is she wanted to wait till after her and the dude got married to have sex. and i'm not really sure...... but aren't u wanting to wait until after ur married?.. some people see that sex after marriage is wired (that's why the wired Topanga thing made me think of it.. but...i dk i think i'm just babbling) but for me i don't care. it's a person's choice. I...well not a virgin so yea.. but if my gf had said let's wait, or she wanted to wait till after marriage then that be cool with me. i'd never dump a girl i cared for over not wanting sex.Quote:that I actually look like her that's not a bad thing. maybe more of why they started calling u that too. i have no idea why but i just got u pictured in my head as a dark hair girl LMAO ..i dk might be cuz most all ur av's are dark haired girls. lol it;s wired how u get this kinda idea of wut u think some one looks like and then if / when u se them ur like.....that's so not how i pictured them.. u know.? lol as for nicknames.. i got a slew of them. some i like and some i wish i didn't have. from the time i was in dippers my dad and bro have called me lil man....... they still do it's kinda like been passed on to my brother's friends calling me that too. Sara started calling me surferdude after one of her friends called me that...it's kinda stuck. my brother started the posterboy crap.. and josh started the pretty boy crap. this girl i chat too alot has for years called me cutie.. i even asked her if she remembers my name lol. At least i'm not called spazz anymore...but it was replaced by squirt(thanks alot paul!). my gf and her friends called me hammy for like a while but that's kinda faded away.(it was cuz of that cartoon over the hedge) hahaha not tellign wut my gf calls me. when i was younger i was called CB. (cuz i had a fascination with a CB radio some one had) the worst is when some one calls me cal..... my name is Caleb not cal. if u don't want to call me by my name then call me C. that's kinda like a pet peev i guess lol

I have names for everyonemy love is Julz, my kids have nicknames Iv been calling them since they were very young, everyone I worked with at one place had names, I worked with them for 10 years and never knew them by any other name then the nicks they had on thier hardhats.When people that know me talk about me they refer to me as the chance man, but call me by my name when talking to me.Nicknames are earned things, even in school I was always "The Chooka" to anyone including teachers. The only name I ever gave to anyone that wasnt more in fun was the goat boy, cos that fucker looked like a goat. He had talked alot of shit about me to some lectricians at the plant, he didnt know they they worked for my dad and it would all get back to me. I had my partner watch my area, headed downstairs and over to the pot line, jerked him off his taylor, beat the dog fuck out of him and while he was on his knees and I was kicking him I told him to baa like a fucking goat. a few kicks and he did anything I wanted in hopes Id stop.Noone ever called him anything but goat boy after that.We used to be tight out there, fights happened all teh time and if you were asked about it you siad you fell, or cut yourself shaving or what ever, managment knew you had been ina fight, but with no witnesses and noone telling shit, they couldnt fire anyone. His foreman was the one that pulled me off him, he still called him goat boy forever after that.Now hes long since left the plant as have I, people that know him STILL call him goat boy.

Oh.. I never thought of that. But it's not like I broadcast it like "Hey I'm Abi and I'm not having sex till after marriage" lol if someone tries anything I just say no. No giving up the cookies for a while babez. I don't know how in the world I look like her though. Other than the fact she's white and I'm black lol. My hair is not that light. I mean I dyed it dark brown for a long time... for about 3 years. But this year I decided to go au naturale. Meaning no more hair straightening, light brown hair, no contacts lol (I miss those though). but you know whatever. that's their biz. to be honest Armondo, I really don't know lol I just don't have a clue. I don't see it. But you know when one person's like "doesn't she look like her?!" people automatically agree? Liars! just following the crowd

ohhh, i love his songs, and i especialy love s2e1 of scrubs when colin hay gets his guitar smashed by an irate Dr.cox. "that'll do it" "I have other songs..." "yea right you do" lol, clasic. oh, and FYI the nickname thing, i think Topenga is a cool nickname for a gal, i think its a compliment
-
That makes alot of sense. I never would have thought of that. Quote:but if my gf had said let's wait, or she wanted to wait till after marriage then that be cool with me. i'd never dump a girl i cared for over not wanting sex. You have got to be the nicest guy i have ever met Caleb!

Abi, honey, I'm thinking that they call you 'Topanga' because 1) she's beautiful 2) she's amazingly intelligent and 3) she has very high morals... I'd take it as a rather big compliment because you're all three sweetie!I, myself, have a few nicknames... Kat, Brat, Skooter (because I used to sit on my rump and scoot across the floor instead of crawling), Captian KK, KK, Freddie, and many more! Lots of times you never know how you get 'em or why, but you do and they stick.
