This may have been done before but do you have a nickname and why?

My late Mother shall always be referred to as ' F '.

I am a Jr. and when I was a kid I was called Lonnie and dad was Lon. After leaving the nest I took on Lon. As a married adult many started calling me LT as a nickname.

When I was a kid, the bullies called me 'slug' because I was a slow learner.

I never learned when to shut up.
