Nonerz...
it's one of the many nicknames from my dad...
I go by "Nani" (pronounced nah-knee, not nanny!) which is part of my middle name..."Kananihokuokamaka" (letters 3-6).
Then it was "Nani-ba-la-ne".
Then "Bubble" (because I've always had a bubble butt)...this one stuck for a looooooooooong time.
"Dinosaur" because I would walk around and run into everything like I was a dinosaur...okay, so I'm a little reckless!
Then "Non", short for Nani.
That evlolved to "Nonerz." My teammates liked that one in particular and would call me that exclusively!
These days it is "Nonster,"
"Nonster-Monster,"
"Nani-Natasha" (Natasha is my real first name...only Dr's and teachers call me Natasha),
"Punani"-- yes, I know what it means,
or if you ask Nate, I am "My Precious," (he likes to say this like the troll-looking creature in Lord of the Rings...I hate it!
"Silly/Crazy/Sexy Girl," because I can be,
and his favorite name to call me, "Flower." Nate, how did you ever get started on that one? I think it started with some variation of "Lahi Pua" which means precious flower in Hawaiian...something like that!
Nonerz has been something that the majority of my friends and family have called me. It sounds pretty cool (to me at least) and I decided to spell it phonetically. Whew, that's a lot of names!
