that's really called over sharing, team nicknames are just fine, and they are intended to stick with the team, sometimes the nickname is such a natural fit that it sticks with the kid beyond the team

In 20 years of coaching HS baseball, the players earned their nicknames. The best player nickname ive ever had as a coach was Gug. He got it as a freshman and it stuck for 3 years. It was always entertaining telling how he got the name. His mom asked at one point and I told her and she just laughed.

The boys on the first 3rd grade basketball team I coached are all 19-20 today. When I see one of them today, I call him by his nickname. They all love it.

some of the nicknames on my hs baseball team were, Bird, Stump, Rat, Bum, Scum, Come Buddy, Noss, Marky-Mark, Gar, Doughboy et al, most of those guys have probably forgotten them

Today’s kids won’t make it on an oil rig then.
I seen a dude in West Texas with his nickname “Nutsack” literally embroidered on his coveralls.

I can attest to this. 90% of the men I know in thibodaux don’t go by their birth name.

My girls nick names were Ineeda and Iwanna, because they always needed something or wanted something

You can call him Ray

Coach Lee at Southeast Junior High nicknamed me my last name but changed the second syllable to Goon. I kind of liked it.

If you didn't know your nickname, it was probably best you don't inquire.

Us older millennial parents don't give a shite
my son has lots of friends, plays sports, etc : 6th grade
his nickname is (first name)GPT because he is also in the gifted program and all the kids ask him lots of questions.
me and the wife laugh. I'm 40 for reference

I had an old friend who dated a Steven. When I’d ask her about Steve, she always sternly corrected to Steven. She ended up marrying a good dude, not Steven. That was 14 years ago. Still ridiculous. People are touchy these days.

He probably joined TD just to give himself his first nickname.

You did that cheesy thing where you gave every single kid a forced nickname, didn’t you?

Just some of the nicknames ive bestowed or had a hand in coming up with in a machine shop or my family:
Roach
Cheese
Colby 2 times
Grandmaster Flange
Lord Voldemort
Barge
The googan
Vladimir (as in Lenin)(safety guy)
Stalin
Snot
Jesse James
Hog
Dahmer
Aurora
And many more i cant remember. Nicknames are the greatest.
I nicknamed my kids early too, but no one calls them those names but me and my wife. They both love theirs.

lot of people, especially in South Louisiana, still remember growing up in a time when silly nicknames could stick forever. It’s cute calling your 7 year-old “Pookie”, but it’s less cute when his name is Pookie Bergeron in the phone book at age 40. They might be afraid of their childhood nickname becoming their permanent name.
The advocate once posted a white guy's obituary, the middle name, in quotes, Moon Cricket.
Now I'm far from the most sensitive person, but even I was like... God damn, who okayed this one
