If we were allowed to pick our own nicknames in life, there would be no Stinkies etc.
Does anybody think "Big Nose" Roberts would have chosen that name?:D

Oh, I completely agree. Some people get the bad names and where them with pride that they even got a name at all. Much better to have the name given then to have picked it for yourself.

but what about Francisco? I heard that the name Django is the name of a character from one of his favorite Western movies.

Ohhh that could work. Since you are so big they could call you "Tiny" or "Little" Marwan Alami. Sorta like the Lil John syndrome.

I heard it was because of some resemblance to Django Reinhardt.
I don't see it though

thank you for telling me that
 
My favorite nickname was a locals. His nickname was 299 (two-ninety nine) He was an advid bowler and rolled at 299 2 different times but had never got a 300. I guess you can dog it bowling also...lol

BTW he eventually got his 300 but can never lose that name.

Or, instead of Marwan, you may get something like Obi-Wan Alami.

I personally liked:

"Cornbread Red" Billy Burge
"The Jockey" Norman Howard
"Little Hand" Lewis Bramlett
"Rush Out Red" Never knew his real name, and I've known him 35 years.
"Iceman" another great black player
"Boston Shorty" The perfect name for Larry Johnson
"Jersey Red" Jack Breit
"New York Blackie" Al Bonife
"The Eufala Kid" Glenn Womack
"Fast Eddie" Ronnie Allen, although everyone called him R.A. for years.
"El Diablo" Keith's nickname bestowed upon him by the Mexican players.
"Hippy Jimmy" Jimmy Reid (also confused with Jimmy Marino)
"Wimpy" Luther Lassiter
"Fatty" You know who
"Handsome Danny" Danny Jones
"Three Fingered Ronnie" Ronnie Sypher
"The Hat" Eddie Burton
"Gabby" Larry Smith
"Tuscaloosa Squirrel" Marshall Carpenter
"The Professor" Grady
"The Beard" Freddie
"The Knoxville Bear" Eddie Taylor
"The Rifleman" Buddy Hall
"The Miz" Who else
"Strichnyne" Earl's first name
"The Giant Killer" David Howard
"Detroit Whitey" Eddie Beauchene

And my least favorite bestowed on me by Arizona Sean, a damn good player and cat burglar - "Toupee Jay" Yours truly
 
"The prince of pool" is about as dumb as "Dutchess of doom". Nahh, they're both equally stupid.
 
Arizona Sean

Jay, did you know that Arizona Sean used to date the girl that Sharon Stone portrayed as Robert DeNiro's slutty wife in the movie Casino? I'm sure you knew that the pimp played by James Woods was in reality the scoundrel, Lenny Moore.
I cant think of her name but at the time I was madly in love with her. Once her and Sean were staying with Augie Catarella, Little Frankie and me. They were sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag. I was on the couch. I had visions of conking Sean on the head and snatching her up. Lenny Moore stole her from Sean and brought her to Vegas. Did you remember her? If so, do you remember her name? Years later she returned to LA and Od'.

the Beard
 
Geri McGee

Freddy,
Her name was Geri McGee before she married Lefty Rosenthal. Off the subject, you being from the neighborhood you are and being around in that era, got any good Outfit (Tony Spilotro,Lefty Rosenthal) related pool stories. Most people think that movie was about New York guys, when it was all Chicago and Vegas was (and may still be) Outfit controlled.
 
How about KT?

Why don't we all just let KT give us our nicknames--NOT!. He apparently didn't like Captain Hook for Sigel....so named him, "Mike the Mouth"... Which I'm sure that he "borrowed" from the poker player "Mike the Mouth" Matasow (sp?)...and was probably hoping that Sigel would gain the notoriety of Matasow...

LOL...I just couldn't resist throwing KT into this thread....

Speaking of which. Did you notice it was Corey "Cash Money" Deuel now? They mentioned this a few times in the previous episodes.
 
Marwan,

Have you considered Marwan "The Martian" Alami?. You know, like that cartoon character Marvin the Martian?. You could call your Leprechaun cue your "Acme Disintigrator Pool Cue".

How about Marwan "Spicy Salami" Alami. All the ladies will wonder if you live up to your name.:D
 
nicknames

The worst thing about nicknames >.> someone else gives it to you and you usually can't stand it...but you just have to get used to it. I got one and couldn't stand it for a few years >>>now when I call someone ... I just use my nickname .
 
I got it, you're new nickname is "Bigs". That way when they announce your name they'll say Marwan "Bigs" Alami.

Say it real fast and the ladies will come running.:D
 
Through school, I was known by numerous nicknames..."dirty ernie" and "dirty murphy" being two of the most common. None of my nicknames, however, have to do with my exceptional pool playing ability...they mostly had to do with the female complany I kept.

The only pool nickname I ever earned was "The Pearl." I am a whinning sonofab*$%ch
