Nicknames

In signing a quick note to my sister, just now, I wrote "Snando" because, for a while when we were younger, she called me that. I think at the time there was a catchy ad playing on TV all the time for an alcoholic beverage named Nando? Not sure.

So then I remembered that my sister Jennie called me Damn Spot for a short while, but with great tenacity. Yes, she had recently been required to read Shakespeare and fell in love with the idea of her little sister being a spot that just wouldn't go away . . . I guess.

Finally, there was the ever popular "Bo-Sando" I had a thing for good 'ol Sly and, for some reason, loved the Rambo movies. I'm not sure why such a young girl was watching Rambo, but hey. So my dear mother tied a bandanna around my head and called me Bo-Sando. I loved it.

Can't remember any others right now, except for some mean ones from school mates that just aren't worth mentioning.

My name is hard to come up with nicknames for. But, I have an Aunt who calls me "Bambi" - short for Amber Bamber, which my Mom calls me. Some friends on dance team in high school called me "Ambular" after a character in the movie, "Clueless."
