i don’t know why, but my family has some of the weirdest nicknames - this is direct and extended family members both. All of these individuals are now adults, but they are still called by their nicknames (though only close family members use these nicknames to refer to them):
Baba
Kuku
Bibi (No, Khanzada, that’s not me :D)
Munna
Tunna
Aadmi
Hero :o
Acha
Khaasa (“Acha” and “Khaasa” are two brothers)
Bacha
Bachi
Bachu (above three are all siblings)
Lambu
Haathi
Cheeku
Guddu
hm i am sure there are more weird ones that i don’t remember right now. Does anyone else have any similar ‘unique’ nicknames.
We share some common nicknames in our families like Bibi, guddu, etc.
Nicknames are so common in my family that when my khala was getting married, at Nikkah time, my MamoN came in running and asked, "Sando ka shih name kiya hai" because they need it write it down in Nikkah forms :-D
It reminds me of another thing, once my school friend called me and my chacho picked up the phone. He hung up saying that its a wrong number just because he didn't know my real name either. :$
The most funniest ones in my family are,
Papoo
ladda
pannu
lala
meeni
gajoo
choto
pino
sando
moody
... and the list goes on :D
Juggu
Kaka
Kaki
Coco
Pinky
Gooria (every second girl.. even if shes 50 is called that.. not me )
Babli
Nono
Momo
Chotu (my bro)
Aapa
Bibi
Nanna (as in nana bacha.. the guy is 34 now :halo: )
Nanni

Hey i didn’t think this thread of mine would take off the way it did. Thanks everyone. Some of you have some interesting/cool nicknames too.
Sharaabi, LOL i’m glad you found that funny! Those two brothers are both grown adults now, bachay kachay sab hain, but they are still called “Acha” and “Khaasa”.
Irem, i always loved that nick - i think it suits you perfectly.
DM, i must have the stupidest nickname The only one who was named after a milk company
