I got called "Bony Joanie" by kids at school AND by my own family (nice, huh?). I was also "Joanie Bologna" and my oldest brother loved to chant "Bony Joanie eats rotten bologna while riding her pony".

I occasionally get "Joanie Loves Chachi" jokes, but not as often as you would think. Mostly it's from middle aged professor trying to be funny, but there was one kid in high school that would yell "Joanie Loves Chachi" at least once a day.

Being called "Bony Joanie" bothered me around age 10, when I was all arms and legs but I don't remember it bothering me for long. I sure wasn't the only one. A girl named Kara was called "Carrot" and a girl named Delores was called "Deloser". I think "Deloser" was the worst (it is pretty bad actually), but even that girl was able to blow it off.
