Did you have a nickname as a kid? Where did it come from, and did you love it or hate it?

B Natural answer

I had a nickname when I was a kid: Tiny. My aunt gave it to me because I was the smallest child in the family for years, and somehow the name followed me everywhere. People used it both at school and at home, so it became part of who I was. To be honest, I mostly liked it because it sounded friendly and a little funny. The only bad part was that I was already shy, and the nickname made me feel even smaller sometimes. Still, it was never mean, so I kept it.
