Blogger Challenge Day 20: Nicknames

Nicknames are usually something we either take pride in, or don’t like at all. J I’ve acquired several nicknames over the years; some I like, and others . . . well . . . not so much. But I will still post them:
 
“Bonk”—This nickname was given to me by a childhood friend who couldn’t say “Bianca.”
 
“Gawk-y”—Josiah coined this term somehow.
 
“Gonk”—Ben’s combination of the above two nicknames. J
 
“Scotland Yard”—In 8th grade, I became obsessed with Scotland Yard. I’ve also always had a knack for knowing just about everything there is to know about someone. I’m still a sponge; I don’t forget a conversation, family connection, or a name!
 
“Bi-AN-ca!”—Not a nickname, but a unique way of saying my name. The little kids in Haiti came up with this one, after I carefully enunciated my name to them. J
 
*Now it’s your turn! What is one of your nicknames? Please share in the comments; I can’t be the only one with such strange nicknames! J*
