text: do you have any nicknames? what are they? how did you get them? my nicknames neo because my last name is anderson. what are your nicknames and how did you get them? my nickname is "ciach" because i married my high school sweetheart about 20 years ago who's last name was ciaciuch(cha-choo) and we've been divorced for about 12 years now. i kept my married name because of my daughter, my maiden name was smith(how common). but now i've been going with a smith for 7 years and theres always talk of marriage, but i've gotten so accustomed to the name "ciach" i don't ever want to go back to smith. my friends say the same,they also like my last name.
