My nickname is Zachmo, and everyone on our track team calls me that. They said my name was spelled weird, cuz they were used to it being spelled Zack, so they were like lets call him Zachmo, like with the Cha sound. Haha. It has stuck since freshman year in high school, and now im a frosh in college, and i am still called it.

My pv coach calls me E - not sure why, I know that there was an older Erica before I got to HS, but she didn't vault, and she was nicknamed Easy E. Thankfully I'm just E. But my vball team calls be booger or boogs for short, because of my last name - nothing to do w/snot or anything gross.

isn't E a street name for the drug Exstacy? That's like calling your athlete, hash, or coke. Or even meth. :dazed:

People I jump with call me MightyMouse, I dont even think most people at camp know my real name :D ,
The first day at practice there was a pretty stiff cross wind, and everyone was missing their plants, except for me, thats when every one started calling me MightyMouse, and it sorta stuck, I could be 2 feet under on my run up and still some how jump... even though thats probably not a good thing....
