Tagged by Kulotski: Nicknames

(Previously Tagged by Kesi)
Rule: List all the names you were called by and the people who call you that. Tag at least 10 members of your contacts and give a comment on their site for them to know they've been tagged.

Ade – In coffee shops and DQ: “May I have your name ma’am?”
Me: “It’s Ade. A – D – E.”
After a few minutes… “Caramel Frapuccino for EYD !” haha!
Anyhoo, practically everyone calls me Ade. It’s just a shortened version of my
name, annADElle. And I like it because it’s different.

Adi – Pronounced with the diin at the last syllable. My relatives call me this. It’s a shortened version of my next nickname which is…

Adidong – Not really sure why or when or how… everyone has a funny nickname when they were kids. Eto yung akin. (Stop snickering! haha)

‘Te De – My cousins, my tita Ling and S.

Adel – People who don’t know me that well. Like I said, Ade is an unusual name and people are more inclined to remember Adel. So why didn’t this nickname stick? People call my dad Adel too. So to prevent confusion, I chose Ade.

Addie – A more sosyal version of my nickname, Adi. My friends, si Isay lalo na, use this if and when they need something from me. Mas malambing kasi.

Annabelle – Dyaki calls me Annabelle. Dyslexic?! Haha! She would usually sing, “Monkey, monkey, Annabelle..” Sira ulo! Haha!

Ms. Robles – pronounced as “Robols”, Dr. Segarra and his humor. Period!

De – Christian, Tano.

Annadale – Smacky. Maarteng version ng Annadelle.

Kambal – Old relatives like my Tito Dan and Tito Lito. They call my sister and I,
Kambal. Even if I was the only one there, they would still refer to me as “Kambal”.

Bru - My best friend, Fer.

Sis - My close friend, A - jay. And some of my church mates. And Khaye.

Dud - My friend, Cielo.

Panget - My close friend, Paulo. (He calls his GF and Gayle Panget also, so I'm guessing he means the opposite. haha)

Ganda - My school mate, Anj. (I also call her, Ganda. Bigayan lang. haha)
Marian – Clariz and Monet… Dahil daw sa buhok ko.

Poleng – Maribel, our maid, whom I so love! Haha! Poleng is derived from…


Pauleen – A lot of people have been saying that I look like Pauleen Luna. I’ve actually been mistaken for her when I was in Boracay I few years back. I feel flattered and embarrassed every time people say I look like her. But I swear, people who are close to me would argue that I don’t look anything like her. Anyway, people at school, some of my professors, and some of my classmates call me Pauleen. They even ask me about Winwin Gatchalian (Pauleen’s ex boyfriend). :roll eyes:

I reposted this from my old blog. Just a week ago I was telling a friend how I want to change my nickname. I was just imagining how Ade would sound with a Dr. before it. "Dr. Ade". Parang di bagay. I wanted to change my nickname into Addie sana. But I don't think it would be easy. haha!

Anyway, I tag.. everyone and anyone!",
