NakedSquid Posted August 8, 2024 Author Posted August 8, 2024 On 8/7/2024 at 11:49 PM, Doctor Duck said: Sorry Squidward but this is awkward. Do you even know what hell hellhounds do for work? The original, Cerebus, guarded the gates of Hell. This nickname would work better for a defensive player, but if you dig deeper into the Blues and what their singers were talking about regarding hellhounds you'd realize how inappropriate using this as a nickname is. Language history is a B!tch...in this case literally. Expand Actually not hell, he guarded the underworld in Greek mythology...much different than the Christian Hell. And again the name is inspired by the literary character of the same name from Dresden Files. 1 Quote

Sounds like a great idea for a nickname. Expand Good point, though they are great books and I highly recommend them. There is a side character name Kincaid (introduced in the 4th or 5th book) who worked for the forces of evil... then turned into a mercenary and was hired to protect a little girl becoming a "good" guy and striking fear into the forces of evil. 1 Quote

Dalton Kincaid is The Hellhound, he started last year and I truly think he's going to earn that name this year. If you've read The Desden files you understand the source. But this team prides is self on having dogs and that dog mentality. Well no dog is as feared as the Hellhoud. Expand The name is Dalton. Road House. He does not need a nickname. 1 Quote

ROCBillsBeliever Posted August 8, 2024 Posted August 8, 2024 @NakedSquid I have to agree with the general sentiment that nicknames are given by teammates / coaches, and we can't really toss them out there in the internet and hope they stick like strands of spaghetti; however, I WILL say that a Hellhound is one scary MFer!
