What’s in a name? William Shakespeare, or rather his character Juliet, once asked that. And while he wasn’t around to see the genius of some of today’s nicknames, that which we call Air Jordan, by any other name would dunk as well. Some nicknames make sense, they come from the person’s name. Varsity basketball players Anthony Wattwood and Brandon Toothaker are Watty and Toothy, respectively. Some come from the way they play, like Shoeless Joe Jackson, former White Sox baseball player who played with no shoes, or West Shore bowler Mika Bilicki whose nickname is Cheeseburger Slider, because of the way she bowls. Nicknames are earned. Not every average player has a nickname, and only LeBron James is king. Star Volleyball player Kaitlyn Forry is Kit-Kat and Meagan Larsen is Megasaurous Rex. Some on the other hand, are just plain strange. Celtics basketball player Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Wildcats soccer player Jenna “Jiggles” Forry are among those who fit into that category. Nicknames make the players something better, something more than just names and numbers. Who’s Julius Erving? I bet you don’t know. But you do know who Dr. J. is, right? OK maybe you don’t, but generally a high school student would. Earvin Johnson is a nobody, but Magic Johnson is a Hall of Famer. Chance Baker is just your average Wildcats cheerleader, but ChaChi is on a whole new level. Scott Adams is a high-schooler, Skimmy is a varsity basketball star. Of course, Tiger Woods would just be Eldrick. And who names their kid Eldrick?
