Those names often last a lifetime--if the recipient likes the name and connotations, at least.utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-57524108916125435572006-10-04T21:19:00.000+02:002006-10-04T21:19:00.000+02:00I'm betting it's a Bull Durham reference.

Or maybe it's meant to be followed by "and burn" for his attempts with the ladies.<br /><br />It is distinctive, though, and should make for a good story. It's an instant icebreaker.Sirynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182070117669304520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-45418424451538612172006-10-04T06:30:00.000+02:002006-10-04T06:30:00.000+02:00It will be fun to know the story behind "Crash".

He had a glorious voice and we girls all imagined him to be as beautiful as he sounded. Imagine our chagrin when he turned out to be the poster boy for acne meds.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-73118861147733593752006-10-03T23:20:00.000+02:002006-10-03T23:20:00.000+02:00I once had a student (when I was a TA) named "Trip...I once had a student (when I was a TA) named "Tripp." He was a lazy, spaced out tennis player...and I guess I thought his nickname had something to do with that. Sadly, it turns out "Tripp" is like "Trey"--you get it when you are "III" (aka "John Smith, III"). I'm sure there's a better story behind "Crash," though.Jamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328884172511150275noreply@blogger.com
