                        it’s an old tradition in motorcycle clubs that when a member wanted a nick name he would ask for one from his friends and associates. they would discuss it among themselves and pick a gunfighter name for their friend…
                        it was usually reflective of his personality and his skill.
                        and his friends found this much more fun….

                        …just a suggestion
