I doubt it. Alexander Hamilton ("Publius") would not laugh, at least.
Nicknames are used for several things. I think of them as simply a level of indirection to allow propositions to stand on their own separate from considerations of personality. Good ones stand out.
Of course, when somebody really rattles the leftists, any protection they might have got from a nick is temporary. That's when you go to open combat -- as Buckhead et alii, did.
Buckhead (the nic) got all the play because people were too lazy to type his name in the media. It perpetuated because it happened when all things internet were cool/in/the thing/stylish. And to be clear, he did a great great service to America and to world history regardless.
George Washington did not sigh the Declaration with “Woodtooth”. To the contrary, he wanted KG to know the name of the man telling him to FOAD. Specifically.
