Of course there is always the "life is stranger than fiction" category in 
which you have Wonder Monds (short for Wonderful Terrific Monds III):

You will recall Wonder Monds II -- former Husker and professional football 
player...

I'm not feeling the arrogance in the nickname...either "magic" or "Tmagic". 
I just think they are both dumb, regardless of who thought it up or whether 
Taylor embraces it or not.  I thought so when Earvin Johnson used it, but it 
does work better for basketball than football.  Tmagic.  Dumb name.  Sounds 
like grade school.  The poster who was talking about real nicknames was 
right.  Like "Oil Can" Boyd in baseball (even though he is crazy) or 
"Dreamer" Tatum from the book "Semi-Tough".  Same author wrote the funniest 
book ever about college football "Life it's Ownself".
