Hahaha, nice!

Mine is pretty awesome, due to my hair my college teacher and classmates all call me Sideshow Bob. Either that or Felix the Cat, as my first name is Felix.

Sounds like Gammy's getting upset.

My first name is Dan, and at my previous college a few people would call me Danimal. I'm also a twin, and since I'm close with my brother (he's my best friend) we are often just referred to as the twins.

What a crazy coincidence, considering your username. I have a teacher who's 1st name is stan (which is what we call him), and at one point we started calling him Stanimal

Don't feel bad. When I was in boot camp (back in the Dark Ages), the oldest guy in our outfit was about 23. He was promptly dubbed "Pops".

Getting old or being the oldest is an honor considering the alternative.

It beats the tired nickname of "Dan/Stan The Man", but it serves as the root of one of my favorite Simpsons jokes, "If anyone can win this game, it's Stan "The Boy" Taylor!"
