Uh... Rawr?

Man, the nicknames that people give you around school are really weird.

Today in my AP US history class, there was a bit of an issue. You see, there are 3 Chris' in the class, and we all sit in the same area. So whenever somebody says "Hey, Chris!" we all turn around and get confused and stuff. Not cool.

So, we came up with the solution of nicknames. At first, I was just going to be "McCoy" because it's simple and easy to remember... but then it got kinda crazy.

Apparently somebody thought that it would be nice if they made my name a play-off of the pro golfer, Tiger Woods, so they started calling me "Tiger McCoy". For some reason, it kinda caught on, but by no means did it stop there. Ohhhhh, no.

Somebody else thought that the name "Cheetah McCoy" sounded better, and some people started calling me that. Their reasoning was that Cheetahs apparently suit me better than Tigers. Personally, I didn't really care, as long as I had a name to go by... but then there was a thrid name...

Another group of people arugued that my name should be Jaguar/Panther McCoy (I forget which one). They just said it was because it sounded cooler and because Jaguar/Panthers are sexier. Apparently I seem to give off a sexy cat appeal to people. Weird.

But seriously, what's with the reoccuring theme of giant cats?! I could've just gone with regular "McCoy" for my nickname, but nooooooo.

Leave it to people to go insane with stuff like that. Now I have three nicknames, all cat-themed. Great (And it's not like you can just shake names off by telling people you don't like them. They STAY with you. >_>;)

Oh well, at least I have an identity apart from the other two Chris' now.

(Cheetah McCoy kinda sounds cool, though lol)
