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

In the black culture, certain kids are given nicknames that they roll with forever; the nicknames outweigh their real names. I'm one of those scenarios.

Snoop Dogg

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

I don't need any nicknames.

Victor Cruz

I don't think I knew any of my father's friends - male friends - by their real names. I remember them only by their nicknames.

Toni Morrison

We became friends in Dublin through music and we had real names, Fionan Hanvey and Derek Rowan - what a dreadful name. And Paul Hewson. We gave each other nicknames just the way most kids do, but the nicknames had more to do with how we physically looked or our essence and I had quite square features as a young kid. I was called Wavin for awhile, but I'm a bit softer - I'm a little softer than a surge pipe so they changed that to Gavin. I didn't chose it, it was Bono and Guggi who gave it to me.
