It's high time this topic was refreshed.

We only know the meanings behind 10 nicknames so far

What an interesting topic! Many compliments to Asminha for this idea!

My nickname is only a little tribute to the famous cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, creator of the Peanuts...and particularly to his best creation, Snoopy, that is a beautiful memory of my childhood!
I have some good memories linked to this wonderful creature!
[no strange numbers beside!

Asminha, as you said, «asma» is the way we (the Portuguese people) call that terrible disease, asthma!

I decided to use «Eventually» as my nickname after one of the professors of my course on Translation referred to false friends in the English language. «eventually» is often wrongly translated as «eventualmente» in Portuguese; in fact, the Portuguese word for «eventually» is «finalmente». «Eventualmente» has a meaning near to «possibly».

I know that my name sounds terrible to Portuguese speaking people

, nothing to do about it.

All in all, tell us what does your nickname mean, and other members will comment if it sounds any smiliar to some other word they know.

Hey,
Okay my name has a little story to go with it

I was at my friends house and we were having some fun dancing

and i my friend said here is a great name for u Crazy Dancing Lady
well after a while my friends got tried of saying something that long so they started calling me C.D.L. and they did not like how that sounded so they shortened to Crazy 1. which is my new name for everything!!!

Christi!
