Title: It's time to bring nicknames back
Post by: MuggsyB on August 22, 2021, 07:19:31 PM: Al was well before my time but I love that a lot of our guys had badass nicknames. Any ideas for the members of our crew this season ? The last good n-name we had was "The Dancing Bear" for Davante. I hope by Dec we have some decent suggestions.

Perhaps it's a nickname for nicknames.

Post by: Daniel on August 23, 2021, 12:37:51 AM: “ Over time, people referring to "an eke name" was eventually morphed into "a nekename," which is where we get the word nickname. In Chaucer's Middle English, "eke" is usually translated as "also", so it would've been an "also name". “

So there we have it. Any eke names or e-names by December?
