Dad always called me Monkey. Friends have called me Erie, Rickie, Eric. I had a boyfriend that called me his princess. I have an ex who called me Egg, E, Dolly, and Boutros (long story). My hubby calls me (and everyone else he loves) Babe.
Shell--I had a roommate in college name Michelle and she went by Schell (it was sch because we spoke German and studied German). I love that name.
I also forgot that my cousins (and my Grandma still occasionally does this) used to call me Erkuhz. It comes from when they'd get into things at my Grandma's house she'd tell them, "No, that's Ericka's." and it just morphed from there when they were little.
I also had a friend who called me Eel because those used to be my initials when I was single.
Growing up my mom called me Petunia.. then I guess I got pudgy at some point, because she started calling me Piglet! (It wasn't mean, really!)
My maiden name is Douds - so the only nickname other kids called me was Milk Duds. Don't really know why though... it's not like I liked Milk Duds, LOL!
Gary's the only one who uses nicknames for me now. I'm pumpkin, pookie and "emee" - Like "M" and "E". Don't know where that came from....
