Being called "Human (Me)" as a family nickname would crack me up

We had a guy at work called Fat Kyle.

This came in handy when we eventually got a second Kyle.

We had three Steves in my friendship group at college. Big Steve, Medium Steve, and Little Steve. Big Steve and Little Steve were a year up on the rest of us, so when they graduated, we only had Medium Steve left. We still called him Medium Steve for the whole year.

My sister dated a guy with the same name as me. We got numbers. I was P1, he was P3 (P2 was a coworker).

I'm in a larpgroup with 3 women with the same name. They decided they'd like to be called:

Name 1, Name A (conveniently her last name starts with an A) and Name 4.

And I love their choices.

In college I was in a theatre troupe with five Andys: Andy 1, Andy A, Andy Alpha, Evil Andy, and Andy Zero.

A friend of mine named his dog Henry despite having a lifelong friend called Henry and I’m going to start doing this now.

Was it a good dog?

We're only making plans for Nigel. We only want what's best for him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And if Nigel says he's happy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

He must be happy

His future is in british steel

I’d love being called the human version of a cat. She needs to kick that guy to the curb.

Keep doing it. It’s like a way of deciding if he passes the test, or not.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Idk I think it's kinda rude to keep doing it after he objects

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Rude to the dog…why is no one considering the dogs feelings?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's Nigel The Cat aka Nigel Original, then Nigel the Human aka Nigel II... There's a Nigel the Dog too? Oh dear...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s a cat. I’m forgetful and easily confused.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Now you should apologize to the Zebra.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I’ll apologise to the zebra, the cat, the none existent dog, and the human Nigel.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What about dog Nigel's feelings?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah you're right. 🤦
