    My name is Rory, and my ma occasionally calls me,

    "Rorsy Porsy"

    Sometimes she uses the full nickname:

    "Rorsy Porsy puddinsie pie".


    Any other good ones?

    My dad's name is Con. My name is Conn. To differentiate between the two of us my mum decided to call me 2 n's. I shít you not.

    I find adding a 'y' to the name in some way is a rather popular choice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    My Mam calls me (insert real name)y drawers. Not cool at all!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 735 ✭✭✭BlueSpiral


    My mammy normally goes through the rest of my sibling's names before getting to my name in a flutter, normally not realising she's called me by my little sister's name. Does that count?

    I must be thinking of a whole different "badass".
    I was expecting something like Killer or Sharky.

    Rorsy Porsy isn't badass, it's whopped-ass.

    Einstein. Yes it's used sarcastically.

    Dad calls me 'Home Economics' cause my Home Ec food always came home perfect, but couldn't actually cook an egg!!!

    10 years out of school and it still gets used occasionally


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,485 ✭✭✭✭Ickle Magoo


    My mum, in fact my whole family, add "aroonies" to the shortened version of my name. Have done for as long as I can remember. My sister gets "poo" after the shortened version of her name so I guess I should be grateful. :pac:

    Ronan

    She just drops the second syllable, kinda lazy if you ask me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,418 ✭✭✭Shacklebolt


    My ma doesnt have nicknames for me, but yours....

    Damnit making 'Yore Ma' jokes isnt the same anymore.

    So your mother is basically slagging herself off by calling you that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,647 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I'm called 'arse'.

    No idea why it stuck, but my whole family realised I responded to it more than my actual name(s).

    Nothing like a mothers love eh? Slight variation of my own;

    "Sarcastic little bitch" or "sarky bitch" for short. I always use the opportunity to remind her I could be picking out her nursing home someday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭jigglywoo


    My mam calls me Julia :confused: It's no where near my real name


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭D-Generate


    My mum calls me Toby for no real reason. Its not even close to my real name.

    My old man calls me "Little ****e"..... suppose in reflection Toby ain't so bad.

    Either way I can't remember in recent memory being called by my actual name at home any time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Tomtom (she shouted this to me in a supermarket last week, I nearly died of embarrassment)
    Galloping Galloot (WTF is that?!)
    Misery guts

    :D I had an irish teacher who called her whole class dildos once. And then didn't understand why everybody doubled over laughing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    Difficult to make a nickname out of my name, so my mum just refers to me as Colm.

    my mother must be fairly boring cos she's never called me anything other than my name!

    i call my daughter all sorts, chickaroo, chickarooni, honeypie, honeybunny, chicken licken, monkey boots, scoobydoo,

    am I a bad mother??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar
