Nick Names.
You CANNOT self proclaim a nickname! It doesn’t happen that way. The whole point of a nickname is something fond that people call you because your name sucks or they have just found a better one for you. It might be related to a past experience, it might have something to do with your last name, a name you were called when you were younger, how you look, talk or act but it is most definitely, absolutely not given to you by you. Your friends (or enemies) give you nicknames, they are the best and only kind that should be honored. If you have made up your own nickname…please stop. It’s offensive to me and all the people around you because we should have that honor, not you.

many years ago i knew a boy who decided to nickname himself “booger.” aside from the fact that this was a ridiculous thing to want to be called to begin with, a couple years later he had the nerve to decide that no one was allowed to call him that anymore and that he was returning to his given first name. well, let me tell you, since he was one of the ASSHOLES you mentioned who decided to make up their own nickname, no one honored his request and he continued to be called booger in spite of his begging for it to stop. he brought it on himself. if you self-proclaim a nickname, it is going to come back to bite you in the ass.

Yeah, and another thing. Why would you want to name yourself after the guy from Revenge Of The Nerds. Booger has already been taken. As a side note, the same actor is the voice of Snot in American Dad so he kind of has that “mucus” corner covered.
