White People Not Good At Nicknames

[Barry Sanders]

Depend on the white people you around.

I got banned on a Discord for saying 'dikk Grayson' when all I was talking about was Nightwing.

Why you talking about dikk for

?

It's because most English people had the same names back then...

So they would just use a different version of the name with a different first letter

I noticed most white folks use an abbreviation of another white person’s last name as a nickname

tenenbaum they’d be like “where’s Baum you hit up Baum yet ?”

 

[Mr Clean]

It's always the ones with a suspect last name that wanna go by dikk

Let it be Richard Baker they'll be like, "Call me Richard "

Now a Richard Long though, "Name's dikk Long or just dikk for short "

 

[Ciggavelli]

I don’t know why I thought of this, but somebody joked that Penis Von Lesbian is dikk Van Dyke’s nickname

Brazilians seem to have the best nicknames if their footballers are anything to go by. And they don't appear to have anything to do with their names:

Marcos André Batista dos Santos - Vampeta

Marcos Evangelista de Morais - Cafu

Carlos Caetano Bledorn Verri - Dunga

Givanildo Vieira de Sousa - Hulk

Manuel Francisco dos Santos - Garrincha

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite - Kaká

Arthur Antunes Coimbra - Zico

Anderson Luis de Souza - Deco

I always found that cool about their team. A whole squad of players going by just one name, often a nickname which was completely bizarre and seemed to have no connection to their real names. It made them seem like a bunch of wrestlers

Nicknames some times are chosen off of things outside of their first name.

Haitian nicknames

roro - Roseland or Rosaline
Fefe - for any female name


My Dominican friend use to always sing row row row your boat when linking up my best friend roro.

There was actually a dope reddit thread I read some months ago that explained all this. I'll try to find it. But the gist is a lot of people had the same names so they'd use rhyming names and shyt.

Sometimes they be taking it too far, though:
