Everyone in my family has weird nicknames. My Uncle was Tuffy, my cousin Alice was Tooty (as in tooty-fruity). My dad was Punky (as in little Pumpkin boy). My great aunt was (I kid you not) Dumpy.

I have been called Tank, Sherman (as in Sherman Tank) and Sherm (high school). Also, I was Twinkle Toes in H.S. One of my best friends was Frog Prince.

When I sang in a punk band in the 70's, I was Amy T. Singer (T stands for the). My current pirate name is Barracuda d'Morte.
