Get a Cool Nickname

Nicknames have been around for as long as there has been human language.
They’re in the Bible – Jesus called two of his best buddies “Sons of Thunder” because of their dominant, noisy personalities – and early culture like the Vikings often used nicknames in place of the given family names. The Mafia uses nicknames, sports teams have nicknames, so do states and cities and cars and, well, everything in life.
Now that we live in an online world, nicknames, or screennames or user names or handles, have become even more widespread.
Nicknames can be a descriptor of a physical characteristic, or the opposite of a physical characteristic. They can be describe personality characteristics, lifestyle, a shortened or modified version of a person’s real name or, as is perhaps most common, a term of endearment.
So nicknames are a part of life.
