Growing up my dad had several nicknames for me, but the one that stuck (and he still calls me to this day) was "Sister Sue". I have no idea why - Sue is not my name or even my middle name. So when I started writing fanfic (in another fandom) years ago, I used a combination of Sue and my maiden name to write under. When I got here, I shortened it to "Sue".
I understand your amusement, Tank. I became really good friends with a couple of my former betas in that fandom and, to this day, one of them still calls me "Sue" whenever we meet up. I find that I actually feel like Sue *is* my name just as much as the one my parents gave me. So much so that last week, while waiting for my lunch in the snack bar, when the worker called out "Sue" I actually started to stand up before realizing that she wasn't calling me.
