Names

This may not be very interesting, but something I was thinking about as I lay in bed this morning-
As you all know I was named Robert Lyle Dickerson at birth- Since that time I have been called several names & have answered to all of them.
1-Robert-( sometimes when my Mother called me that, instead of Bob I thought I was in trouble, but her & I got along very well always as I remember & never even spanked me )
2-Bob-( My usual name from everybody )
3-Dickerson-( Always this as I played sports in High School or was called on in roll call in the Navy )
4-Dickie ( Called this forever by a Male teller in the Bank & not sure why )
5-Bobby Lyle ( By some of the girls in High School, as they learned my middle name )
6-Dick ( I guess by some, because of my last name )
7-Tricky Dick ( By some of my male friends when I had out foxed them )
8-Squirrel ( This was started by a friend of mine Mort McCheyne, as we bowled, golfed, played cards and were close friends throughout the years, he died at about 50 of cancer & never did find out the reason for him calling me that )
9-Lil Rob ( By a friend of mine Brian & guess because I had lost 4 inches in height as I grew older )
10-Dad & Grampa or Gramps ( By my Children & Grand children, which I love to hear )
11-Mr."D" ( by my Doctor, Dr. Vounas )

This is all I remember, but always answered to them thru the years, ( probably some others that I would not want to remember )
