The Story Behind Your Nickname by Zahymaka(m): 10:52am On Apr 02, 2006 |
Almost everyone's got a nickname from friends or at least a pet name. What's yours and what's the story behind it? Did you name yourself or your friends, family or even your enemies named you? Just wondering. Zahymaka is really Z.A. Hymaka. Z is for Zuksy [one of my nicknames] A is Azuka. The Hymaka [pronounced High-Marker] name was formed in school between two of my best friends and I. We picked the last two letters of our names and created a "brand name." We loved it because we were actually high-markers in school. Of course they went by OZ Hymaka and T2 Hymaka. Who's Next? |

mine was a gradual development, from adebola to debola, to debols, then balls/ballz (which wasnt very funny for me) till a fusion of name + nickname adeballz, now that is unique |
