I have never got a real nickname tho because most people even when I was at school often call me by my real name or TP which is a mere abbreviation of my real name just like AY to Ayo but I hear other guys called names that has nothing to do with their christened names like 2bottle, Smart

Wiseguy

Hercules

Romeo

2finger wink

Waya Waya

Terry Dee

T money

Ratty
2men

1313 (Thirteen Thirteen) undecided

Mouth

Beyonce

J fire

Black King

Blac Chyna

Some even use those names on their Facebook, especially young adults

How did u get your Nickname and do you even like it?

Some people call me Honourable but it's not a nickname,. I was a speaker at uni.

I like it when my girl calls me baby, I can dash her my salary tongue

Back then in school,my friends used to call me O.B.O..... probably it was because of my foul mouth angry. I never liked that nickname but the more I tried to stop them,the more it even spread,to the extent that people whom I never knew even started calling me by it undecided

And. Latter shortened it to OGBO!
Re: How Did You Get Your Nickname??? by Nobody: 3:10am On Sep 28, 2021
I was tiny(slim) while I was young, my best friend then started calling me EEL as in the snake-like fish in our native tongue. Bro, it stuck for life. I'm way big now but my age-mates still call me that.
Re: How Did You Get Your Nickname??? by Lilsameey: 3:28am On Sep 28, 2021
I was called many nicknames, but my favorites were Ronaldo, because of my free kick scoring ability, extreme speed, Shot power, No time wasting and eye for goal, less dribbling and long shot ability, Another was Benzema because of my hairstyle then.

Re: How Did You Get Your Nickname??? by Spending123:
I got my Nick name after which I bought my third football boot which has an inscription on it "coppa mondel"..... From their coppa mondel took over my real name cos it's always exciting to watch me play and I love the name which am planning to use as a business name in the future...

Modified: Coppa Mondel has taken over my real name in my local football club cos I can Dribble like Hazard and score like Ronaldo(Header, left foot, right foot and over head kick grin grin grin)

Hala Madrid.... wink wink wink

Re: How Did You Get Your Nickname??? by ShenTeh(m):
Ahahaha.

I am BTT, My initials. This sticks like glue.

Kokorodudu: I would brag and call myself so when I beat people to their games. My wife likes to call me that, and she likes to refer to herself as Mrs Kokorodudu when she 'cracks a nut'.

Small Time/Small Ghana: My secondary school mates said I look like the Ghanaian tailor who was very popular for his ingenuity but would never complete the job in time. He would always say 'Small time, it will be ready, eh" Although I referred to myself as NakedWire back then, nobody follow me hear that one. Na Small Ghana dem like.

LoL.
