I come from a huge extended family, and all my cousins and aunts and uncles used to call me AmandaPanda. I HATED it! Especially when I was about 13-15, I really wanted everyone to see me as an adult, and I couldn't stand the stupid nickname. Nobody really cared that I didn't like the name, and they all kept calling me Panda. Well, then my cousins had kids, and they all started calling me Auntie Panda. Having a 2-year-old call you Auntie Panda is pretty much the cutest thing ever. So, I re-embraced my nickname. My cousin's little four-year-old, Abby, said to me last month, "Auntie Panda, I know your real name is Amanda, but I'm gonna call you Auntie Panda anyway." It was so cute. I really want to take her home to live with me -- she's my favorite kid (except that she's tied with all the others). 
So, that's the story behind AmandaPanda. I also get called Manderbeth (my middle name is Beth), Bethiepoo, and all kinds of other silly ones, but now my brother has a baby girl named Bethany, so she's getting all the Bethiepoos now! It's okay though -- I really don't mind giving that one up!
My favorite uncle, who just passed away this summer, used to call me Salamander (I guess it sort of sounds like Amanda?) and then Sally for short, then Silly Sally. He probably called me Silly Sally for my entire life. I really couldn't stand it when I was a teenager but then I totally came to love it. He was really the silliest, most annoying person ever, but we miss him so much! I really try hard now that he's gone to look at everything with the same lightheartedness and sense of humor that he always had, and not take myself too seriously!
xo,
AmandaPanda Bethiepoo Silly Sally

oh don't I know about nicknames! I have a million and they aren't all that good.
my brothers and sisters called me
AshleyTrashley.. which just turned into Trashley.. which has since evolved into Trashface. Its lovely.
My old roomates called me crashley
then my godfather and older cousins used to call me smashley which drove me up a wall when I was older.
And for some reason my mom has always called me Ali, or Alley Cat (along with my aunt as well). I guess they dervied Ali from Ashley.. I'm not sure how..but whatever.
oh and my mother also calls me Mallory alot.. and that has also evolved into AliMalli.. or AliMac.
They are ridic.. I swear, I hardly ever get called Ashley with my family.

HAHA. Don't you love nicknames from your brothers and sisters???
Mine isn't that bad I guess....it was Cara Beara for so long....now most of them call me Beara. My dad will call me CaraLynn forever, he's not a nickname person.

Haha....Sibling nicknames are funny...
I never call my brother Tommy, I call him Bolina...started as Tom-Bolina, now it's just Bolina...my sister and I have called him that for years, it's like his permenant name.
My sister calls me Linea - like 'Lyn-nay-ya'...for Cara-Linea....but she's the only one who's ever called me that!

That's beter than "Carol the big fat barrel" and I was skinny then. How about "Carolina in the morning". One of the nephews called me Cal when he was little the other "Taro" He still calls me Taro when he is playing up to me because he wants something. My Dad called me skinny ass... can't call me that any more. LOL
