Stevie Wonder used to come the ball games and they would have a guy sitting with him. And the guy would be holding on to his arm, telling him what's going on, and he would say, "Hey, the big chocolate guy just put down a thunder dunk. The chocolate guy with another monster dunk." And Stevie Wonder actually gave me the nickname Chocolate Thunder.

Darryl Dawkins

The thing about 'Bigfoot,' he's a big guy and he's agile for a big guy, but he's not that agile and he's not that athletic. In fact, being a big guy is probably his greatest asset.

I went to USC. I wasn't a rich kid or anything like that, so I had to get a scholarship. Went to USC; my first year, I took 26 units, so I got to have a nickname. Everyone goes, 'There's 26.' So I had a nickname. Having a nickname is a good thing because then you start to get popular, and you keep that going.

Brian Grazer

I listen to a little bit of hip-hop, but I mainly go back to what was big when I was at the University of Georgia in the '70s. I'm a big Emerson, Lake & Palmer guy, a big Jackson Browne guy, the soundtrack of college.

What matters is performances, regardless of what the name is, whether it's The Rock - which is my nickname and people call me that all the time - it's no big deal. So, whether it's The Rock or Dwayne Johnson, in terms of being recognised I just think that the goal is to be recognised as a good actor. I don't put much thought or weight into the name, or the name change, or what it is, or what does it mean? It's just a nickname.

Dwayne Johnson

With wiseguys, you don't know a guy by his name, only by his nickname. You never asked a guy for his last name.

Joseph D. Pistone

Sometimes a nickname is used instead of the real name. But a nickname may offend either the one named or the parents who gave the name.

Russell M. Nelson

Ive never really been a big sci-fi guy or a big comic book guy.

When Shaq gave me the nickname, it wasn't no Joe-Bob giving you a nickname. This is Shaq. It was like, whoa.

Paul Pierce

I'm a big guy, right? But I began to realize that by actually using my body like a big guy, I couldn't control my pitches the way I wanted to.

Yu Darvish

I've never really been a big sci-fi guy or a big comic book guy.

Sendhil Ramamurthy

My nickname is Deb for people who really know me. But the only real nickname I've ever had was, my dad used to call me 'Ace.'

Deborah K. Ross

I am kind of a lifelong lose weight, gain weight kind of guy. I'm a big guy; I've always been a big guy.

Josh Gates

My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.

Satchel Paige

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.
