My name is Kenny so in a stroke of brilliance I used that name on this forum. I have 2 black belts in martial arts and most of my nicknames are related to that in one form or another and my plates on our vehicles are also karate related..just wanted something different so went with my name.
My nickname has nothing to do with dogs. I was a chubby baby and my mother called me her poochie baby. I had several slightly older cousins who quickly took up the name and it has stuck with me for 49 years. Most of my longtime friends call me Poochie or Pooch, but my wife calls me Vincent.
