Thirty Days of Me - Day Nineteen

"Nicknames you have; why do you have them"

I think I'm a bit behind so hopefully I can keep it up from here.

Most people who know me tend to shorten my name from Jodie to Jodes.  I've never been a Jo for some reason - it just doesn't suit me - which would make my mother happy.  She absolutely detested my grandfatber (her dad) and his name was Joe so growing up she never let anyone call me Jo - but like I said nobody really does.  I can remember one person who insisted upon calling me Jo - she was a strange girl!!

I think I got called Toad at boarding school - only because it rhymes with Jode - but it didn't really stick (thank goodness).  And for a while I "wanted" Snoopy to take as my nickname (hey I was a kid - I'm highly embarrassed about it now!!!) but it didn't take.

JJ and CJ and someone called me Jodeci after a band I think - none of them ever really stuck although JJ is something I use in the online world.
