When you look at a lot of the military histories, and even modern military history, everyone pretty much refers to each other by nicknames.

Pierce Brown

Indian names were either characteristic nicknames given in a playful spirit, deed names, birth names, or such as have a religious and symbolic meaning.

Charles Eastman

Nicknames are the most essential in life, more valuable than names.

Chespirito

One of my other nicknames was Thomas Edison, because I invented so many moves.

Earl Monroe

I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.

Ellen Page

Nicknames are baseball, names like Zeke and Pie and Kiki and Home Run and Cracker and Dizzy and Dazzy.

Ernie Harwell

Some people insist that hallowed professional teams should never change their nicknames.

George Vecsey

My mom, God rest her soul - she liked nicknames. In the womb she named me Skip. There was another black guy in Piedmont, W.Va., and his name was Skip. They called him Big Skip, and I was Little Skip.

Henry Louis Gates

After all these years I had the privilege of naming my private part, cause we have nicknames. So I named my private part pride... it's not much but at least I have my pride.

Jay London

Back in George W. Bush's second term, when diplomatic realism began to overtake foolish bellicosity, the president developed one of his patented nicknames for the two most powerful neoconservative journalists, William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer: he called them 'the Bomber Boys.'

Joe Klein

When the other kids started calling me nicknames, I knew everything was all right. I have a pretty big mouth, so they hit on that and began calling me Gatemouth or Satchelmouth, and that Satchelmouth has stuck to me all my life, except that now it's been made into 'Satchmo' - 'Satchmo' Armstrong.

Louis Armstrong

All the women that are first born daughters in my family are named Mary, but we've all been given nicknames. I don't know how or why that started, but I'm nicknamed after my great-grandmother, who was Mamie. No one ever calls me Mary, except only if my husband is very serious about something.

Mamie Gummer

Astronauts cannot pick their nicknames and can only get their nicknames from other astronauts. Any astronaut who tries to give himself a cool nickname will regret it by getting just the opposite from his astronaut friends.

Michael J. Massimino

I like the Albino Rhino. That was kind of cool. Of all the other nicknames people give out, I thought it was really unique.

Peyton Hillis

When you look at a lot of the military histories, and even modern military history, everyone pretty much refers to each other by nicknames.

Pierce Brown

In January 2012, Google Plus started to roll out support for nicknames and pseudonyms, but those registering with a name other than their real-life one must be able to prove that they have been using that alternative name elsewhere, either on the Web or in real life.

Rebecca MacKinnon

The nicknames - people say they couldn't understand it, but look, I have really enjoyed my time away from 3AW, and I have discovered one thing - that I am more than just a yelling fanatical football follower who makes up nicknames.

Rex Hunt

When I was at college, my nickname was Keds because I wore Keds. I guess it wasn't really a nickname, because nicknames are usually given to you by people who are your friends and who know you. But I didn't know the people who called me Keds. I think that they didn't like me because I didn't want to join a sorority.

Rooney Mara

I like 'Stifle Tower,' I like 'Gobzilla.' There's a lot of nicknames that are pretty cool.

Rudy Gobert

I don't have any nicknames.

Sally Ride

I'm done with the nicknames. Actually, when I obtain my doctorate, I will not allow people to call me Shaq anymore, either.

Shaquille O'Neal
