Everyone knows that you can't give yourself a nickname. But let's suppose that this rule was revoked and you were able to name yourself. How would you introduce yourself?

"I'm Phil Green, but they call me 'lights, camera, action'"
"The Beast"
...and I would never introduce myself, I would have a friend say "Oh that's Tomo aka 'The Beast'".
It'd be something like "The Problem Solver," only snappier. Maybe "The Wizard?" Something that suggests I do amazing things, always perfectly in control and can handle any situation.
I don't know. I'm bad with nicknames, which is probably why mine is "Beaver."
Phil, do you have explicit reasons why?
Your excellency.
That's a wierd nickname, Thadd. Kinda long.
My name's Jake, but they call me the Silver Fox.
I have like 17 nicknames...in fact people rarely call me Ariel.
Instead of a personal nickname, I think I would like to be a part of an international secret/exclusive group with cool nickname. For example: in Harry Potter, the people who work in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic are called "the unspeakables" by the public because no one knows what they do and it is taboo to ask anyone.
Yeah, being an Unspeakable (or something like that) would be cool; it would make me seem very intimidating. Its better than Kitten, which is what everyone calls me at work.
oh, and Tomo, we do call you "The Beast". Pick something else.
everyone knows me as manbat and a few people know me as jon butwhat would be really really really weird is if people started calling me my full name of jonathon cuz i dont think ive ever ever been called that even when in trouble as a kid its weird....hi im jonathon
well, seeing as how I am using a nickname given to myself, by myself and for myself...I'll go with Eric.
I was givin a nick-name by elliot dille. which in the day when he called me this i couldnt stand the little shit. but i embraced it and now trying to purchase domain name and trademark. mikeeyo... my name is mike eric o.... so mike e o really fit. now its my email adresses and any login i ever use. the crappies used to call me 2304.. that was my pager no. in the day. if i were to nick name my self had i never met elliot... thunder chicken
grand wizard? is that one taken? if so i'll have to go with "not that asshole again."
I would like a monarch nickname - a "the something." Like "Ihatepeter the Terrible" or "Ihatepeter the Unready." Or "Ihatepeter the first." Something like that.
