I'd thought about 'Messy Boogie', or 'Pull McCartney', or 'Jaime Jaimerson', and figured nah . . . I'm real glad I passed on 'Auntie Matter' and 'Sforzandwich'.

Same here.Nickname my coworkers gave me
My favorite nickname so far!Started with just my name but switched to Bar Band Bassman which is a pretty accurate assessment.

If ever you want to change your nickname :Kept trying to think of something clever and came up with nothing good. So I thought about an annoying aspect of certain basses. And came up with Neck Diver. By the way I don’t scuba or skin dive much, so handle is about a neck heavy bass. Thought the giraffe would get the point across.
My mom considered naming me Jørgen, but I think everyone realized that next to no one would ever pronounce it anywhere near correctly in the United States, even in our community with many families descended from Scandinavian immigrants. I ended up with Joseph, which most people can pronounce, but surprisingly many have trouble spelling.My Dad picked it , my Mom wanted to name me Jan (Swedish for John, pronounced yawna) glad my dad won the argument
