WE know the names of some of our neighbours but not all, and those we don't we have nicknames for. They aren't aware of it of course but when discussing a neighbour we'll refer to them by their nicknames such as

Mr Kicky=wheel because whenever his car goes wrong he kicks the tyres



or Marigold, the lovely eccentric lady gardener that goes around everywhere on her bike complete with shovel and fork on her handlebars

,,and then there's Peter Gold, because he's a jeweller

Do you have nicknames for any of your neighbours? and what are they ?
 

Well we have not been living here for long , but one neighbour have earned the nick name The Waltons,this is because they look after their grand children after school and in the holidays , when it comes to them leaving each day they are shouting all the way down the drive to the car,, Bye Grandma ,,, Bye Grand dad ,,and you hear them shouting back Bye,Bye ,waving like they are never going to see them again ,This is all repeated on a daily basis.
 
No nicknames for the neighbors, but there's a house in our subdivision that's been abandoned and is in foreclosure. The bank that owns it is taking its sweet time (it's been four years), and it's falling apart. The trees and shrubs are either overgrown or dead. There's nothing left of the lawn that wasn't too nice to begin with. There are green shoots popping up out of the gutters, the paint is peeling, the window frames and shutters are rotting. Everybody in the subdivision refers to it as Scary House.
 

Oh yes - I do have nicknames for my neighbors.

The one's in the front unit are the sticky-beaks - I think they must spend their time attached to their front window - they know all the local gossip.

Next door, on the Eastern side, are the one's with the weird kids - the kids will stand there and crow like a rooster, or bark like a dog. The Western side neighbors are the swimming pool people - they'll empty their swimming pool during the night and flood both my front neighbor and my yard with the water.

At the back is the "nasty" neighbor - he gets drunk on a regular basis and abuses both his wife and their child.

As for me, I'm known as "that bloody old woman".
 
No nicknames for my neighbors, but there is an older lady who takes long walks alone in the neighborhood every day. She carries with her a golf club, holding it similar to a cane, but it never touches the ground. I assume she carries it to defend herself if needed, either against a person, or a coyote. Sometimes when she passes our house, the dog will bark if the front door is open. I'll tell my husband that nobody came to our door, just the 'golf club lady' passing by. I have said hello a couple of times to her when I was outside, but never asked her about the club.
 
Not really. Of course, there's "Jocky" who's the oldest resident of the village. Lovely old chap who is still very independent. And there's the "Stick insect" - a lady who jogs obsessively and is painfully thin.
 
We have

Santa Clause - because he is a big man with a flowing beard and lots of smiles.

St. Michael - because he was an angel to his ill (and sometimes ill tempered wife) during the last years of her life.

The Nudist - because he is always dressed in minimum coverage clothing (winter or summer here in Florida)
 
We have nice neighbours except one couple stay strickly to themselves.
They live in a long lane with many trees on both sides, their house can't be seen.

No one knows their name or where they work and that apparently is the way they like it.
They have never made any effort to get to know any of their neighbours in the five years they
have lived in the area.
It is strange and we call them 'the strangers in the woods'.

Have a neighbor that my grandkids, also on my street, call Ho-Ho (aka Santa) .... although this past month he shaved his beard off. .. so he might have to get a fake one for Christmas..:D ..
the kids are getting older but really thought he was the real deal when they were toddlers.
 
Just one. The man across the street is an eye doctor, so we all call him, "Doc." I've been nick-named "Captain." I never went in for nick-names. My first name is Robert and most people will ask if I like being called Robert or Bob. I always tell them Robert. Some people won't ask and assume I should be called Bob, so that's what I get called. I don't correct them, just go along with it. That's fine.
