    A couple of bits that thankfully didn’t stick! Chinny for a bit in secondary school as I apparently had a big chin (now subtlety hidden with a second chin), that evolved a bit into Jimmy Hill, but fortunately that didn’t last long either!! Grom for a bit as I seemed to be the last to join some of the crazes.

    The older lads in primary would call me Professor when I was a wee nipper in NHS specs and constantly pushing them up my nose.

    None stuck fortunately, altho professor made a recent comeback after a drunken works do!

    Tbh, it was hard enough getting Andy adopted over Andrew!!

    I got a nickname the first year in secondary school. Mogee. After 12 months even my mum called me Mogee. I truly hated it, but even now people that grew up with me call me it. It was meant to be Mowgli after the character in jungle book as I looked like him, but the people that tagged me with it got the pronunciation wrong from the off. Says more about them than I could ever write :rolleyes:
