My maiden name was very common, and my first name even more so. Nevermind all the other girls with my same first name, I actually went to high school with another girl who shared my first and last name.
So around 2nd grade I picked up the nickname Fergie, shortened from my last name, and it stuck all the way until graduation. Teachers used it too, and I had some friends who didn't even know my real name. (This was, incidentally, during the time that Princess Fergie in the UK was commonly in the news, but the Black Eyed Peas did not yet exist.)
