I'll be first to start.  My nickname is Skeeter, which I'm sure you've gathered from my posts.  My granddad nick-named me that when I was one year old, because he said I ran around like a "little 'skeeter bug".  Well, it stuck, and here 55 years later, my family and close friends all know me as Skeeter.

When my mom addressed me by my given name (Franklin), I knew I was in trouble for something.
