It is a long tradition.

Find a fighter pilot who didn’t get branded with a name by his peers
I guy I worked with has a call sign that was an acronym, partly with the letters from "Sh!t self in final turn"

Indeed.
‘Stormin Norman’ despised that nickname, as it wasn’t his true nature.
Seems like a lot of folks worship the star-club members - lots more duds than winners.

It is a long tradition.
It used to be a part of our society that EVERYONE had a nickname. What happened?
Nicknames come in very close units. Maybe a reflection of how unconnected our society is....................
