The Nickname Search: Massacre at Wounded Knee

Like all things that are clearly superior to the competition, Isaac needs a certified nickname. I've been calling him Isaac, The Hurricane, Squirtle, or Little Man. Shannon tried to call him "Izzy" a few times, but a few swinging arms (mine) and two missing teeth(also mine, don't ask) later, that stopped. As a child, I was "bear," my brother Tim was "tiger." My friend Dan's "bear" nickname stuck into adulthood (as did wearing diapers), and was turned into "husbear" by his wife, Katie (it's a portmanteau! A PORTMANTEAU!!!).

So, I'm taking an informal poll. As always, the best way to rear a child is to let internet strangers do it for you!

What Should Isaac's Nickname Be?

Ike
Squirtle
King Rimrocker
The Gravity
Izzy (oh god, please no)
Polar Bear (It's like a bear, but kills more seals)
The Hurricane
Little Man

  1. I wouldn't say "forgot" so much as "hate".

  2. Please not Izzy. Too Grey's Anatomy underwear model for my tastes.

  3. That's right you two. Let internet strangers decide your only child's nickname and then bicker about it in front of them.

    I like random and strange nicknames. So I'm in favour of Squirtle but also Ike for when you're in polite company. And I'm sure you're often in polite company. Think Mansfield Park.

  7. I like King Rimrocker.

    He could be a terrific basketball player, or he could just poop a lot.
