Apparently my Pap gave me the nickname Nubbin growing up. In the early 1980's, I must have been short because that's what Jack Walker and eventually all my Walker cousins called me - Nubbin.
Pap probably was referring to the comic pictured to the left. My grandad and I used to read the Sunday comics together often. I just Googled it and it means a small lump or residual part. Jack Walker thought I'd be short like him, so he called me Nubbin. Funny thing is that I'm the tallest of all his grand kids and my male cousins Chris and Larry are the true Nubbin's. Larry got nick named Wacky Jack! Chris I don't remember having a nickname, but he must have gotten in trouble quite a bit because they sure called him Christopher Marshall a lot! Back in those days when you hear your middle name, you go the other direction because you were in trouble!!!
I had not thought about that nickname, Nubbin for quite a while. Mom is helping me with this website and set up this profile with the nick name Nubbin and it brought back tons of good, funny memories. Glad she did it!
Did you, or do you have a nick name? Where did it come from if you do?
