The OOTP Old Player Nickname thread

sixto · 01-20-2003, 06:27 PM

Here's the deal: I do a fictional historical league in OOTP, and as many of you know backintheday players had all manner of nicknames, from Phenomenal Smith to King Kelly to Snuffy Stirnweiss to Birdie Tebbetts.

I need nicknames that I didn't create. I call them nicknames but really these are for going into the first name file - this won't generate players named Tim Smith with a nickname of Scrubby, it will generate Scrubby Smith.

I'll start by adding 10 nicknames, feel free to add 10 more. Please follow the format of adding a space and a 1 after the name so these can be imported into the first name file. If there's sufficient response I'll make the new first name file available to the community. Be as crude as you like; I reserve the right to exclude names. I recommend no 2-word nicknames (like "Oil Can") just because I'm not sure they won't cause a crash. No punctuation either.
