So, if you could pick your own nickname, what would it be?

Mr. Piano Man, Billy Joel seemed rather blase about it all:


“Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool.”

--Billy Joel

Often, though, we're more picky about the little pet names people give us.

“I really hated my nose. They (school children) used to call me pug nose, or buttons. Buttons was an early nickname and I hated it.”

--Halle Berry

Haven't you been anointed with a little pet name you hated? Is there some little affectionate term your family or friends use that just makes you cringe? I never understood grown men tolerating being called Billy Boy or "Bubba." Someone who I knew who was a youngest child was called "It" (short for "itsy bitsy"). Sometimes, you have to surrender to the inevitable. How many Diannas became "Di" when Lady Di was popular? When your father is John, your grandfather was big John, your uncle was Johny, your son is John John, well, you have to take what you get.

“That's all right. You can call me Frodo. Go on, Dave, it's okay.”

Elijah Wood

But, with this design from Ha Ha Shirt Shop, you get to pick. Your very own chosen nickname, kind of like when Michael Jackson tried to make everyone call him the "King of Pop."

Or not.

Would you like a name with street cred? Do you want a name of obscure sophistication? Should you make everyone giggle or gasp? What will you be? Do you want to be Fredrick? Fugitive Folder? Foxy Fun? Future Millionaire? Finnish Water Polo Champion? Pick. Then write it in. Enjoy!
