That's not really my nickname. I had just watched an episode of Seinfeld and George wanted a nickname and tried to get people to call him T-bone.
Nickname - If you don't have one, get one.

Many years ago I did some research on nicknames in general -- it seems that people with on syllable nicknames tend to be easier to communicate with because it's just one syllable. Think Jeffrey => Jeff, Michael => Mike, etc. It was all anecdotal evidence, but it seemed to be a weird trickery of verbal communication. The Aarons and Garys all confirmed that their nicknames ended up being single syllable ones with nothing to do with their real name.
My nickname is "Case" in some circles, although some of my lady pals call me Papa D, or just D. Case is my second middle name singular syllable (from Casey) and seems to make the Neuromancer literary geek females squirt when they hear someone call me that.
I definitely agree that having a nickname unattributed to your real name can be DHV if people actually use it, but getting there isn't the easiest.
My first and last names are difficult for Americans to say. A few years ago I got tired of correcting people, and anglicized the first name to "Hike". Works OK.
But now some non-English-speaking Colombian friends started calling me "Bam-Bam". I guess because I'm big and loud? Anyway, not too bad, right?
Question is, can I try this one out among Anglos?

Sure. "Bam-Bam" is a weird name, no doubt, but it's intriguing and guarantees you a solid two minutes of conversation on how you got it.
My friend calls me "tomahawk"

I had a fantastic nickname in college, came about naturally but was genuinely cool.
Don't have one now, feel like it's a little silly at my age (only 30, but w/e).
I have a very common first name though, so when I put my name in girls phones I put the last name as "chaos", because otherwise I'm probably not the only one in there with my first name.

Jersey shore characters have nicknames. Well not all, but did it help thm get laid because of it?
Had lot's of nicknames growing up. One a bit negative was "Spock", because I'm very rational/logical. But I didn't care ("Embraced it" as you'd say today). Spock kicked ass. One of my more recent nicknames (similar to my User Name here) will be the name of my company.
On age and nicknammes. Unless you're a real kiljoy with a rod stuck up his ass nicknames work at any age. Helps keep you thinking young.
