I agree with the whole "dont give yourself a nickname" thing. It never made sence. Ive been called murf since i was little , my family calls me it , and i have chosen aliases but they are mainly nicknames that i was given that never stook as wide as murf [i.e. AJAX cause i was dirty , and Fish cause im a drinker] . I saw with the cholo comment , made me think about all the ghetto names ive heard over the years. Ive met about 100 P's , G's , B's . As for travlers , the list goes on and on , heres a few off the dome that bother me.

Moo-Pockets-Wolf [cool but ive met too many]-PeeWee-Deez[nuts]-anyone named after a state or town-Turbo and Ozone [they could break dance]-Big-Bawll-Stick [or anything that sounds like a skinny reference]-Slappy [da Juggalo], B-Game, Fingers

and the ever so popular "Money"

I have had 4 nicknames that were given to me throughout my life and Ive never introduced myself too anyone by those names. The names were Pee-Wee (foster brother gave that to me), Clown (because of my poofy hair), The Goon (a friend of mine coined that one no idea why), and Sausage (please dont ask).

When I was about 14 some girl from my homestate called me "sketches" and the name kinda stuck. In various cities I've been nicknamed Quadrophenia, Bahston, and more recently, Optimus Prime.

Most interesting names I've seen recently are Jal Hordan and Matty Light. Far too many people out there named Big Red.

Personally I like to make up a realistic name when I get into a new state, like 'Anna' or something, but that's only cause I don't have any friends who would remember me any damn way.
That's logic.
I've tried this more than once but I always forget the shit I made up, or don't answer to it quick enough to be believable. I'm the kinda guy that gets a nickname no matter where I go or who I'm with. I hate 99% of them and the ones I like don't seem to stick. As far as "stupid" road names go. They are only stupid if they don't have a story. The better the story the better the name IMO.

Eh, I don't see a reason to hate on people who choose their own nicknames. I prefer when nicknames have a history and a story, whether it be given to you or chosen yourself, but I also think that there is something to the theory of sound influencing the energy around us (think of mindfulness and mantra, like "om") so if you don't like the vibe of your given name (and there are some dumb given names!) you can pick one that is preferable.

I think it's a little silly that a group of people who profess to believe in true freedom, travelling kids, pick on people for exercising their freedom to choose what they go by in life. What is more personal, and therefore at your discretion, than your own name?

i dont want to live in a society where it is frowned upon to poke a little fun at someones chosen name like "dumpster nugget" ......it must be nice to be known as a delicious intoxicating beverage as opposed to "puke"

Well, thats the funny thing about "real" freedom. It allows you to name yourself AND have an opinion about someone elses name. You got a point but if someone chooses a name that doesn't suit them it isn't going to play out for them. I mean most of the time people don't have an accurate grip on their identity... A gal once asked me to describe myself in three words, I chose "very well hung." She followed with "What a douche."
