Nickname Recognition #1 (permalink) Fri Jan 11, 2008 23:53 pm   Nickname Recognition
 

Let's play a game in which we supply a famous person's nickname, and ask the other posters to guess the person's full name (or shortened full name -- at least first and last names). I'll start things off... who can be the first to supply the correct answer?!

So here we go, nickname #1:

The Mad Monk

Hi, Tom

An entertaining game, but you should have stipulated one important condition: one should not use Google :)

The answer is 99% Grigory Rasputin, my fellow countryman :)

nickname #2: Slim

Alex,

I guess that would be Eminem. I like to listen to his song on a speaker, not on a headphone. I have a superb headphone, which I didn't regret putting a bundle on and even when he is rapping very fast I can catch every word he said and they are not pleasant to my ears. Sorry, but his music is cool though.

If so, I'm not going to join you. I'd better read and see your posts. :D

Do you agree to this stipulated condition by Alex, Prez?:-p

Alex, I would have guessed "Eminem" by default -- only because I know how very fond you are of Eminem. 8) :lol:

How about this nickname:
The Pelvis
:lol:

And oh Alex, why is his nick 'Slim'? I never understand it. He is not that slim...unless, it has other meaning and I bet a real fan would know. :P Can you tell us?

Hi, Amy

Yeah, you're right ! I'm very keen on his lyrics.

Hi, NinaZara

I can only guess here, but slim might mean cunning, sly, so Eminem wants to give himself out as a sly, shady guy :)

"Magic" Earvin Johnson -- He's connected with hoops somehow, isn't he? 8) I think he may have also won Olympic Gold. :D

One of the top point guards -- and one of the most versatile players -- ever to play the game (basketball).

"Ol' Blue Eyes"
