b-i-n-g-o, and bingo was his name-o
ok, so, over the course of my life, I've had some interesting nicknames. Some of them are embarrassing, others not so much. Ok, here goes!
*honeybun (yes, when I was little, I would stomp around saying "Name not Rachael! Name honeybun!" I forget who in my mom's family started calling me that, but, it stuck. But sometimes I would change my mind and stomp around saying "Name not honeybun! Name Rachael!" Apparently, I like to confuse people)
* Rach (this one is ok to use!)
* Rachie (aah! only my friend's mom ever called me that, and she's the only one who will get away with it)
* Raquel (in grade 8 we had this gym sub who for some reason called me that because he didn't know that Rachael is pronounced the same as Rachel. So, my friends thought this was hilarious, of course, and for awhile, actually, most of highschool,I was Raquel. Actually, some brave people still pull that one out every once in awhile).
* Rachella-bella: this one I like. Lish, my aunt (also known as Alicia) has called me this for awhile, probably since I was pretty young. :)
*Rachoo (this is what Ben called me...so cute!)
*Silly huffalump, silly buffalump, silly little pickle...these are the names I get from the Logie boys, usually accompanied by being jumped on or tickled to death. ahaha!
* Rae (I started this one...can't exactly remember when)
* BooBoo (for awhile, Tanya's family had this thing where Tanya was Yogi Bear, have no idea where that came from, and because I was her friend, I was deemed BooBoo. I think they forgot, though. Yessss!)
* So, there's my extensive (ha!) list of names. I've gotten others like 'hey you' and 'ma'am' (ew!) and 'that lady', the last two most commonly heard at work. Nice, huh? Oh, yeah! People in orchestra used to call me Yoda. They claimed it was because I was so, ahem, wise, but it was because I was short (the wise part was always quickly tagged on at the end) A-bo-hoo!! Oh well. C'est la vie.
