Clubbed or stub… same difference. ‘Midget’ and ‘Big Toe’ got a good turnout as well. Thanks for voting. p.s. My personal favourite is Royal.

I have stubby thumbs on both hands. My family called it “hammer thumb”. We also thought (hoped) it was a sign of royalty.

i always called them “Nintendo thumbs” because when i was young, i was really good at Nintendo because I could hit the A & B buttons at the same time with my thumb!

I think all the clubbed thumb people are super cool and special! We should make our mark like Megan Fox so everyone wants to be part of our royal club!

I have to say that I love my thumbs. When i was looking through my baby pics, you couldn’t even tell i had them. Also, my nickname is “big toe little thumb.” ha. I’m glad to know I am not the only one. Clubbed thumbed people rock!!!!

i prefer “asymmetric thumbs,” but my wife insists on calling the ‘normal’ one Ford and the clubbed thumb Arthur, as when i do a hitchhiker’s thumb with the clubbed one, you can barely tell it moved.
i also emailed my thumb picture.

i use to be really self consious about my thumbs especially when ppl pointed them out but reading this and seeing how megan fox came out about her thumbs really made me more comfortable. thanx:)

I call them half thumbs. Cause they have a full nail but it’s half the size. Creepy…

I can’t believe this name isn’t up on the list, but my kids came up with calling my thumbs “Thoes”. I have lived with these stubby thumbs all my life and they were the first to come up with the name thoes. And they didn’t even come up with that name until they were well into their teens.

I can’t believe how many people have clubbed thumbs! it makes me feel so much better about it as i was selfconcious about my thumbs for a long time – one’s normal, and one’s short and stubby. however, my parents didn’t realise I had a clubbed thumb until a few years ago when I started high school…. one of my friends thinks my thumb is so great and she calls it my toe thumb – she also likes showing it off to other people!

We have always called them hammer thumbs in our family, which I see is not an option in the poll.

My husband calls them my toe thumbs. I have always called them my fat thumbs. I had no idea this was a legitimate condition – just thought I was deformed. I’ve been very self-conscious about them since a friend noticed them in sixth grade (and I’m forty now!!). She made a HUGE deal over them -”Ew!! Look at her thumbs!!” It’s nice to know that I’m not alone. I like the notion of royalty, but not so keen on the “murderer’s thumbs!”

“dumb-thumb” … it is my dumb thumb, especially dumb as my other is completely normal!
June 29, 2009 at 9:27 pm |
I like Pumpkin Thumbs!

I call my thumbs cello thumbs (because they look kind of like an upside down cello) I like “royal thumbs” too though.
August 15, 2009 at 2:05 pm |
I am forty-one and have never before heard of “clubbed thumbs” or met anyone else who had them. I have always joked that I was born with eight fingers and twelve toes. From now on, though, I will call them Royal thumbs – much better

I used to gross out my little brother when I was a kid… I’d chase him around the house with my “tum” (toe/thumb) and try to touch him with it, yelling that he’d get infected with my “thumb disease.” In high school, my best friend tripped and stepped on my hand, and I screamed and showed her my thumb, convincing her that she had squished it. Now, I’ve come to accept my genetic hiccup, and my boyfriend lovingly refers to me as Tumbelina…
