Why is everybody in such an obsessive rush to make new nicknames?
Just a rant

Then you could say, "I was the one who came up with that nickname" to all your friends as they roll their eyes.

I really don't understand people getting upset about it. It's the same as when people post a picture of their watch and say 'Mine says hi', it's all nonsense really, but it's all just a bit of light hearted fun. Everyone has their own reasons for being a part of this magical forum, let them enjoy it any way they choose. P.S. it also happens to be a lot easier to say/remember Batman than GMT-Master II Reference 116710BLNR #justsaying #probablynowintroubleforusinghashtag #oops #nofunfriday

Nicknames, make these inanimate objects, more personal. Like when we nickname our car's or our house's...(Those of you who have more than one...)
It's hard to love a Dining table, but easier to love your Rolex... Right?

I joined that post because it's silly :-)
At the same time, I hate to see my favorite timepieces be called Batman or Hulk. If a nickname is inevitable, might as well try to name it what I like. |

Same reason your friends do not say "James Wadsworth Willington III" every time they refer to you, lol.

The Explorer "Trump" is the best nickname I've heard in a long time.
