I agree Craig is not that bad! At this point in my life I've given up on correcting people that call me Greg!!
The reason my parents named me Craig is that it does not rhyme. Kids are creative and cruel - craig the egg!!

Some people can't seem to say Byron and pronounce it Brian.

The best nik name I was called was "Be-romp". My best friend called me that during my adelosent years and nobody else knew
that.

Most of my nicknames are just wordplays of Matthew including "Matchoo" and "Mateo". My boss calls me "Wedge" because that's how I fix things on a temporary basis. In HS I was called "Coach" because I once played a basketball game while wearing a three piece suit.

If I wanted to change my name I would be "Dusty Storm". That way I could be like all those moronic weatherman and exuberantly spout out forecasts that are based on information that is no more reliable than that which would come from dancing around a fire, naked, chanting "Give me forecast, give me forecast..." (As you can tell I'm a bit miffed at our current weather pattern and the dolts who try to tell you what it is going to do.)

For a 20 year period in my life I went from Pvt to Cpl, to Sgt, to SSG, to SFC, I kind of got used to Sarge. However my first name is Rew, I've been called by the name my father gave me for 48 years now, I'd just soon keep it.
