What if someone named - Kiko Martinez, or kevin Martinez came into baseball --- would his nickname follow Martha Stuart's franchise? K-Mart? or what about Mylo Rod? My-rod? ok ok so maybe the last one isnt plausible, but the first is. What are some funny nicknames you can come up with or have been called in your lifetimes? How did they come about?
My nickname is the Mongoose. The name came about when i "caught" a lieing "snake" - the guy was a complete idiot and said he hadn't stolen my wallet (8th grade, immature fool). I just reached into his back pocket (it was visible, don't worry lol ), yanked it out and whapped in the face with it, and walked away. Kinda weird but funny in a way.
Kenyon Martin of the NBA goes by the nickname K-Mart.
Well some of my friends that i've known for a long time call me Clay (my name is Clayton), I used to not like it, but i've gotten used to it. And also there is bird man/bird/birdini. This name was given to me due to my drunken antics at a party last summer where I put on a bird suit, and according to people's accounts, introduced myself as Clayton Birdman for the remainder of the night and tried to woo the ladies with my abilities to fly. I would mind that one if it wasn't for the great pictures that were taken that night.
When I was in Basic Training, we were allowed to order PT shirts with nicknames on them. At the time, I was in great shape. I was always in the top 5% of my Company in PT scores. A lot of guys would say that they would beat me, and I would always place some trivial little bet with them because I was so sure I would win.
When T-Shirt time came, they all suggested that I get a nickname that's a play on my last name. My last name is Sherwood. My shirt read, "Confident Penis."

theres a kid in my class named justin case. it couldnt possibly be his son...
I doubt it. I may feel old, but I'm not that old.
Hmm.....Actually I thought a little more about this, if you're around 13, then I guess it's possible, but that would mean Jeremy had a kid real quick out of high school.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

How eerie is that? Find out if his father's name is Jeremy, and you most likely will have your answer.
