Gnome

Where did your nickname come from, and how did it come about?

"Gnome," was given to me by two very drunk mates of mine from a bike club I'm in, after they decided that my facial features and stature, was near enough dammit the same as your average garden gnome - even if I am only an inch shorter than one of them, and about 4 inches taller than the other, at 5'8!

Suppose it's better than my old school nickname: "Fatboychunk."

With my large than life frame, and my then fondness of the legend Fatboyslim, it made perfect sense...

:D :D :D

So spill the beans kiddies! :thumbsup:

JJ was originally a shortened version of JaneyJane, or a combination of my name and username Jane/Jaydan...

I also get called Janey (which is ok..) and a newer one Beth (coz my middle name is Elizabeth)

I've always been called Kev by a lot of people but over the years I've had loads of nicknames, none really stuck though apart from these 2:

1st up was the highly inventive Macca at 1 stage but didnt particularly like it for some reason so that stopped when I was pretty young.

Next was Calv because there was some fat lad who went to the same school as me when I was younger called Calvin & a couple of my brothers mates started calling me it to take the :censor: (which I absolutely hated) & it just stuck, eventually I got used to it & started using it myself.

After a good few years I got bored of that & decided Kev wasnt so bad afterall so just stopped calling myself Calv & everyone who called me Calv eventually started calling me Kev.

Just realised how boring this post is, I apologise, but the question was asked...

I still get called Beardsley!

I support Newcastle and my dad is a geordie. The older lads used to always let me play football with them because I wasnt too bad at it and they called me Beardsley because he was a legend and played for Newcastle. Name has just stuck ever since!

Hopefully it was the footballing ability and support of Newcastle and not his "looks"! lol :lol:
