Nicknames

I had a nickname hung on me when I was a wee lad, and family members still use it when addressing me. Now I appropriate aliases with humorous connotations from movies to hang on my grandsons as nicknames --- I refer to the youngest as Jim Ferguson. I recently saw The Big Sleep, based on the Raymond Chandler detective novel and starring the always cool Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe. Early in the movie, a dame asks Marlowe who he is and he wisecracks that he's Doghouse Reilly. The line broke me up, and now I'm deciding which boy gets Doghouse Reilly as a permanent tag.
