Dan Gross Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Well, seeing as though my name has some pop culture references I've heard plenty of Daniel-San and Danno (got a guy at work who occasionally greets me with "Book 'em"). There was always Danny, which I resisted of course when I hit the teen years. Then I learned people are going to call you what they are going to call you. In high school there was "Madman Dan," but it was as much a persona as a nickname. Sprinkle in the occasional "Dan the Man" or, rarely, "Danimal." On the most part, other than Danny, none were really nicknames per se, it's just variants that people would use on occasion. Though I took some grief for it, didn't earn many nicks based on my last name. Occasionally, someone would call me "Grossman" or "Grossburger," but those would be the "guy at the copier" types.

PTS Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 What was your nick name growing up? Or some of your buddies names 253405[/snapback] Polish Pauly ... well cause I'm really Polish. Mr. Clutch ... because I had knack for scoring big goals -- usually in OT -- in big soccer and hockey games. PaulyVIP ... because I know how to get the VIP hook up wherever I go.

R. Rich Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 It was because of his unstoppable crossface. 255455[/snapback] Chris Benoit. He was becoming popular right around the time I stopped watching pro wrestling. I always like the guys who aren't that big and can hold their own with the real big guys. Even though Paul Orndorf was bigger than Benoit, he certainly wasn't nearly as big as (then "roided up") Hulk Hogan, yet the 2 had legendary battles. Of course, now wrestling has become Vince McMahon's own personal cesspool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BackInDaDay Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Didn't have one until my early twenties. Kidd Shellac. I'm almost 49, and some of that old crew still only knows me as 'the Kidd'. I laugh, but my wife reminds me how pathetic that is The worst I ever heard was the kid brother of a friend of a friend. I was playing over this kid's house, must be 30-something years ago, and everybody was asking this kid where his brother, 'enormo head', was. Well, later on the kid came out to play. Poor s.o.b. was 'bout 8 years old with a head the size of a basketball. That's some cold ****. Some of my friends growing up : 'pumkin head', 'the deal', 'the boy', 'ente', 'crusher', 'the whale', 'boner', 'stringbean', 'clutch', 'zeke', 'speedy', 'quinnism', etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbeau Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Kevbeau...take one annoying girlfriend who calls all the time...add sarcastic roomates, as in "Oh Kevbo...Jenny's on the phone again." and there you go. The name actually stuck and most of my college buddy's still call me Kevbo. The beau came in when I found out that Kevbo is often already registered as a user name. Some of my favorites from friends and acquaintances through the years: Goph (short for gopher)...my brother's. He's almost 30 and everyone but his wife and my mother still calls him that.
