Funny Names We Got As Kids - That Stuck To Us For The Rest Of Our Days

Ever have a name or a label pasted on you as a kid, that winds up sticking too you for the rest of your natural born days? Why is it that some surnames we pick up as kids, sometimes wind up sticking and holding on to us seemingly, to the end of time.

For example, as a youngster, I had unusually big feet for a kid my age. At home, I would sometime leave my shoes in the middle of the living room floor where my father would sometimes trip over them. When he did, he would joking say to me at times "boy why don't you take those boats down to the rivers edge and float them in the water. When playing baseball with the guys, I would often trip over my own feet while chasing a flying baseball out to center field. So, the guys started calling me "foots." And the name just stuck. It all started out jokingly, you know, just something the guys would say to get a laugh out of one of the other fellows.
