Perhaps the OP wanted to start a thread about nicknames?
So here goes:
Harry Crosby known as Bing
Einstein was known as Depperte as a child (the dopey one)
Christiano Reynaldo was called Crybaby as a child (he would apparently cry whenever he didn't get his own way)
Daniel Craig - Mr. Potato Head
Barack Obama - Barry O'Bomber (something to do with his skill at basketball)
Anyone like to add more?
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
Is anyone interested in the terror attack in Moscow?
