Being called "Human (Me)" as a family nickname would crack me up

We had a guy at work called Fat Kyle.

This came in handy when we eventually got a second Kyle.

We had three Steves in my friendship group at college. Big Steve, Medium Steve, and Little Steve. Big Steve and Little Steve were a year up on the rest of us, so when they graduated, we only had Medium Steve left. We still called him Medium Steve for the whole year.

My sister dated a guy with the same name as me. We got numbers. I was P1, he was P3 (P2 was a coworker).

I'm in a larpgroup with 3 women with the same name. They decided they'd like to be called:

Name 1, Name A (conveniently her last name starts with an A) and Name 4.

And I love their choices.

In college I was in a theatre troupe with five Andys: Andy 1, Andy A, Andy Alpha, Evil Andy, and Andy Zero.

Andy Zero is calorie free.

We're only making plans for Nigel. We only want what's best for him.

And if Nigel says he's happy

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

He must be happy

His future is in british steel

Keep doing it. It’s like a way of deciding if he passes the test, or not.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Plus Nigel was there first

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Idk I think it's kinda rude to keep doing it after he objects

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Rude to the dog…why is no one considering the dogs feelings?

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

There's Nigel The Cat aka Nigel Original, then Nigel the Human aka Nigel II... There's a Nigel the Dog too? Oh dear...

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It’s a cat. I’m forgetful and easily confused.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Now you should apologize to the Zebra.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

I’ll apologise to the zebra, the cat, the none existent dog, and the human Nigel.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about dog Nigel's feelings?

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

Yeah you're right. 🤦

A friend of mine named his dog Henry despite having a lifelong friend called Henry and I’m going to start doing this now.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Was it a good dog?

I’d love being called the human version of a cat. She needs to kick that guy to the curb.
