I was always under the impression that a nickname was "given" to you by close friends or family based on something you do, have done or some action that creates it. I have never heard of someone "asking" for a nickname.
I say continue to play good pool and something will come up and someone will then be able to correctly provide or attach a nickname to you based on your actions and performances.
