My aunts and uncles would call me "carrot top" (of course because of the red hair)...I would get so upset with them and promptly reply that tops of carrots were green and I didn't have green hair. That comment never did stop them from continueing with that stupid name.

Daddy called me Sugah when I was young. He persists in calling me Janet though I've answered to, and only used, Jan for 50 years, even changed it legally 12 years ago.
Mother still often calls me RoColClayt...JAN! Goes through all the siblinds names before she gets to mine. I was glad to get to first grade and find my name was actually short enough to learn to write easily!
My daughter born and raised in Alabama calls me Mutti; the other daughter, born and raised in Germany, calls me Mom.....go figure.
My ex always called me a generic-sounding Honey. I often wondered if he even remembered my real name.

When I was young I couldn't say my whole last name so I shortened it to just the last two syllables - Eppe (pronounded Eppie). My Aunt used to call me Susie Eppie. To this day she is the ONLY person ever allowed to get away with calling me "Susie" anything more than once.
Strangely enough, my family all call me Susan and my friends all call me Sue. It was never planned, it just happened that way. I've never heard my best friend call me Susan. Never.
