I'm new to this forum, but I figured I have to start somewhere...
One of my uncles had nicknames for all of my cousins (cupcake, buttercup, twinkle, etc...). My older brother was Wild Bill and I always tagged along and wanted to do everything he did. So I became Little Willy (as in 'Free Willy). I had a temper and I hated that name (at least it's better then Pete and Re-Pete).
I like to think I dropped a few letters to be easier to type, but I think we all know I was trying to distance myself from any chance of being called something like little wee-wee. I like to think of myself as larger than average, but I'm sure so does every other man out there. ....guess that means that half of us are wrong, possibly myself included.
