[QUOTE=Misnomer] I have the first 3 seasons on DVD, and will be getting season 4 soon: it was Jarod. With an “o.” 🙂 [/QUOTE] I’m jealous! I should put them in my Netflix queue but I have to finish Veronica Mars before I start on another TV show. ---

[QUOTE=ZebraShaSha] I really love the suggestions so far, especially the badass sounding ones. I think I would like one that is really strong, masculine, and.. well.. badass. Something as tough as nails, but memorable and believable. [/QUOTE] Chunk Hugelarge? Cliff Beefpile? Dirk Lanternjaw? Chuck Manmusk? Tank Concrete? Sledge Riprock? ---

Something as tough as nails, but memorable and believable. [/QUOTE] Based upon your pictures, you remind me of “Ducky” in “Pretty in Pink” or one of the characters that Whatsisface was always playing in the 80s in all those teen angsty Molly Ringwald pics. Very artistic, cool, and unique. Sorry, you don’t strike me as “badass” or tough as nails. 🙂 ---

Two possibilities of my own: Milo, from one of my favorite hardcore albums and kiteboy, the name bestowed on me by a smokey, mysterious fellow. This shall be way harder than I thought. ---

[QUOTE=ZebraShaSha] Two possibilities of my own: Milo…and kiteboy… [/QUOTE] No way! What’s your last name? Any good first names go with it? I had a frat brother named “Agnew” so we called him “Spiro.” Or, just go by your last name; for some reason, people seem to notice that sort of thing. However, for you, I think [Shnissugah](http://www.shnissugah.com/) might work pretty well. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/give-me-a-nickname-or-give-me-death/368623.md?page=3)
