Anyone can remember those nicknames that people are famously known as on Caye Caulker? I came upon an article from the Caye Caulker Conch Telegraph published in June 2000 and I had to share on. People are known more by their nicknames than their actual names and some of them are quite funny but they are trademarked in some way or another as to how they got their specific nicknames:



Caye Caulker Chronicles

I've lived here for 12 years and have often wondered how different nicknames were acquired, many of them are from childhood. Also, I noticed a few of the these guys have passed on, Rally, Skip, Fiji, Uncle Lou, Chispa, to mention a few.

Panty Man. always been one of my favorites, Mark. I know the story of how he got his name, but wont post it.
