    I am in the camp that nicknames can not be assigned, they have to develop organically.

    In my mind's eye however I can see a packed OPACY going Whoa Bundy! in unison after he strikes out the side.

    Dylan Bundy doesn't need a nickname.

    A nickname needs Dylan Bundy.

    You and OFFNY beat me to the first 2 things I thought of. He has good potential for alliteration. I can already hear Joe Angel:

    "Dylan's Dealin' !!!!"

    "Dylan's Duelin' !!!!"

    "Bundy Befuddles Boston!! And the Orioles are in the WIN COLUMN!!!"

    If it's not something awesome like CoCo or Pokey or Bip or Ducky or Arky or amazing like Puddin' Head or Three Finger or Sleepy or Cool Papa or regal like The Yankee Clipper, The Splendid Splinter, The Silver Fox or King Carl, I'm not interested in nicknames.

    I'd rather people just be a-feared of saying his name at all.

    If hitters nickname him "He who must not be named," we'll all be pretty happy.

    Go throwback? The Owasso Express? Try to tie that into the Warehouse (B&O)? I could deal with that.

    Lets bust out a mythological nickname. Perun, perhaps?

    Like Germanic Thor, Perun is described as a rugged man with a copper beard. He rides in a chariot pulled by a goat buck and carries a mighty axe, or sometimes a hammer. The axe is hurled at evil people and spirits and will always return to his hand.
    Or since he is an Okie, maybe we can call him Joad. Or Sand Bass.
     Or instead of the all-too-common Bulldog moniker, we call him Bullfrog. Oklahoma's state amphibian too (who knew.)


    In reality I agree that these things should develop organically.

    Before you know it, people will be calling him "D-Bun." (though I really hope not)
