Baby Face
I was given the name Baby Face when I was 15 years old. I had just played a gentleman named Buddy Wallace at Tuma's Billiards which was an old pool room close to downtown Cleveland Ohio. They had 5 by 10's and billiard tables and was upstairs. Buddy Wallace had played strait pool in some world Championships where he ran a large number to beat a world class player called Ponzee(probably spelled wrong). Buddy was considered a very good player in strait pool. I played him a couple of games for money to 50 points and won very decisively. As I was going out the door the man that covered the pool tables for Joe Tuma named Butch said who was the baby face Mother F-----. In Cleveland many people know me as Baby Face and do not have a clue what my name is. When I was in my 30's I was on the road playing everyone I ran up on. I stayed on the road for 15 years. I played all the upcoming players that I ran into. I busted Reid Pierce in the Office lounge in Jackson Ms. I busted Tommy Sanders and Gabby in Texas. I busted Rich Geiler in Washington. I was pretty much undefeated in the 15 years I spent on the road, except when I ran into Mike Siegal. He showed me what a world champion could do. I played him on the big table then took him to the bar box. It was painless because he only gave me a couple of opportunities. I started stalling with him the first rack and he him me with a 4 pack, and I never came out of it. I returned the favor in Nashville at the Music City Open when we played a bar table tournament on in house TV and he made the announcement that he had a bye, he was playing Gulyassy. I beat him 9 to 3. I loved the road. I got to play everyday and slept till noon (check out time).

an apa team i was on had three jasons on it so the captain told us we needed nicknames. everyone who watches me shoot says i always look angry or like i want to hurt something so some one blurted out, "he looks down right evil". and that was it. evil stuck. the captain of the team also works in the league office so now every apa team i shoot on the roster sheet prints my name as evil. it's also kinda funny because anyone who talks to me for ten minutes knows what a joke that name is. it does sound cool though
and it lets me screw with people somethin fierce.

Mine have always been "Bull" or "Duke". Bull because I used to act like one and Duke because I do a mean John Wayne impression.

Hey, that used to be my name, "One-Out-of-the-Money-Melinda" !!!
My pool nickname was "Fontaine" just kinda came out of nowhere when I was playing alot back at Sticks and Stones in Indy.
Short story on another nickname, I got a nickname from the drill sgt during basic training on day one and this was my own fault. Here is the story, when you first arrive at basic you are in street clothes, fresh out of the world and they try to hit you with some serious shock right off the bus. I get off the bus and we cannot line up to suit them, then they start calling out names but there are multiple lines each with two drill sgts and everybody is being yelled at so I do not hear my name being called out but when I finally do answer I get the normal dressing down. A few minutes later I do not hear my name again and I really catch it that time and had to do some pushups. The third time they called my name I caught but they had to say it twice before I did and the sgt said boy don't you have any sense, be a smarta$$ I answered back yeah, five. Pow there was my nickname for all of basic I was called Five Sense. There was a lot of five sense give me 20 for the next few weeks let me tell you. BTW I used to have a pouch on my case with a 5 and cents symbol marked on it.

I had a friend started calling me Oklahoma Flash years ago but it had nothing to do with pool. We played softball and everytime i ran to first he said a dust cloud would beat me there.

that's classic!!!
A few years ago, a friend of mine was sitting outside College Billiards smoking when a couple of gang members snuck up behind him, slicked his throat and stabbed him in the back. He is fine and has since been named, "Cut Throat" and he likes that name .
My ex thought "artillary hilary" was a good name for me because when I first started playing I had a lot of "fire power". I don't know what happened to it or if I really had it, maybe it was due to hitting the ball as hard as I could back then .

My friends always call me Mully because my last name is Mullins but all the guys at the pool hall call me Mullyman. Yeah, I know, kind of a let down as far as cool nicknames go. But to be honest, I prefer Mullyman over any type of pool related moniker someone could come up with.
I really dislike how EVERYONE on the pro tour has to have a nickname on those TV shows. A lot of them sound purposely made up so the TV announcer would have something cool to call them.

Guess it is because I am from Norway, a country with lots of salmon

Two Questions...
Is the title of this thread a trick question? LOL!
"Are you good enough for a Nickname in pool... "
And for the "Deep Throat" nickname - was that a guy or girl?

Nicknames
I have had 3 Nicknames during my 46 years of playing, but everyone just calls me Scott. My first one was when I was a teenager, which was Mako, stands for Lil Shark, second one was Lil Scotman.
I got 'Snapshot' about 12 years ago in Indianapolis when I won a monthly tournament (48 players) at the Billiard Cafe. Skeeter, the TD and billiards newsletter publisher gave it to me when I beat Brian 'Maddog' Groce in the finals of the tournament. I suspect he chose it because of how I broke the balls at the time.

I've always been known as the Bigdog. I am a pretty big guy and one of the better players in this area.
