Nicknames

I have lots of nicknames. Usually, people call me Chris, but my name is Christopher. That isn't a nickname. It's just my name shortened.

I had lots of different nicknames though. In New Zealand, friends called me Sharkboy. My nose looks like a shark fin! Other friends called me Susan. Susan is a girl's name usually, but I didn't mind. In one cafe, I made the muffins, so they called me the muffin man.

In Austria, people called me Shrissy. In Germany, everyone called me Herr Walsh (Mr Walsh in English). A long long time ago, I was in a band (I played guitar). We all had nicknames, my bandmates called me Jiggs.

How about you? Do you have a nickname?
