For English, I need to pick a sobriquet for myself, and then write the story about how I got it.
(A sobriquet is a nickname based on personal characteristics)
My problem is, I can't come up with a nickname.
Help!

You guys have such cute nicknames!
Mine and the story behind them:
Cheesecake: At the time, my friend Becki was just giving out random nicknames to peope based on nothing at all. ("Ian, from now on, your nickname is.... chalk!") she named me 'Cheese'. I hated it. I was afraid I'd be called 'Cheese' for the rest of my life. So, I compromised.
"How about Cheese-*cake*?" I suggested.
And it stuck! So for about four years now, my name has been Cheesecake.
Mahna Mahna: I don't really know how I came up with it. I just like that song a lot; I find it really funny, so I started using it to sign fanfiction.net reviews.
And this last one is my English paper:
A long time ago, I sat next to a fellow clarinetist, Monique, in the crowded band room. Everything was going well, until Monique let out a short cry.
“My reed! I broke it!” she whined. She cursed under her breath. “And I don’t have any extra money to buy one from the teacher.”
My eyes traveled to my clarinet case that held a whole package of number three
reeds. I had been warned before that if I gave such things to people I would probably never be compensated, but the look on Monique’s face was too much to bear.
“Here,” I said, opening the case and taking out a reed. “Take one. I have a bunch.”
Taking the reed from me, she grinned wildly. “Thank you!” she said over and over again.
That day, I was given a nickname that I would carry for years after. Bowing as she spoke, she called me Mistress of the Reeds because she felt I had done something noble, and therefore deserved the noble name of ‘mistress’.
****************
I'm sure I'm retelling that story completely wrong, but my teacher said that it didn't have to be a true story anyway.

My AOL Screen name was Mad bubble gum for a while. That's what some of my friends called me to tick me off.

Nicknames, nicknames...Nope, only you all give them to me.
Except Scarl* and Insane*.
With you all there's Scar, Scarl, Scarli, Muffin Lass (and various alter-egos stemming from that), Muffin, Scarlet tt, Milady, and I do believe that's it.
Not to many things can be squished out of "Sc arlett"
*Usage restricted, as I have trained most of my RL friends to call me by my full name.
:DWhee!
