Who's Got The Best Nickname?

[danshu_]

Characters in wuxia almost always have fantastic and creative nicknames, much like characters in British gangster movies. The longest could be the one Xiao Yu'er invented for himself in The Legendary Siblings.

Who do you all think has the greatest nickname of all time?

[K2Grey]

That one guy in the Li Xunhuan book with the nickname of "Rather Die Than Lose Money" or whatever it was.

[Swordwiz]

I thought Murong Fu's nickname was rather cool.

Who do you all think has the greatest nickname of all time?

Kunlun 3 Saints He Zudao

[MrIllusion]

Kunlun 3 Saints He Zudao

Yeah that name is pretty awesome. Has a nice ring to it.

Guo Xiang's nickname 'Little Eastern Heretic' was kinda cute. I thought Wei Xiaobao's 'Hua Cha Hua Cha Xiao Bao' was hilarious as well.

[PJ]

another cool name is Golden Snake Prince (or Golden Snake Swordsman) Xia Xueyi/.

[Extremer88]

Two Xiaoyao Fairies - referring to Yang Xiao and Fan Yao, was also cool.

More that I like:

"Skyscraping Resident" Xie Yanke
"Holy Dragon Sect Leader" Hong Antong
"Eight Armed Divine Sword" Fang Dongfai
"Xuan Ming 2 Elders"
"King of Green Bat" Wei Yixiao --> I only like the English translation
"Great Wheel Monk" Jiumozhi
"Demonic Swordsman" Dugu Qiubai --> I only like the English trans
"One Armed Divine Nun" Jiu Nan

"Silver Halbred Marquis"/"Yin Ji Wen Hou" Lu Fengxian
"Solar Apex Iron Sword" Guo Songyang
(these 2 are from Gu Long's universe)




These are the ones I DO NOT like so much:

"Zhong Shen Tong" Wang Chongyang --> I like the English translation "Central Divinity" but not the Chinese.
"Old Goofball" Zhou Botong
nicknames of the Four Evils
"iron head" You Tanzhi

[Ren Wo Xing]

Xiaoxiang Yeyu, the Night Rain of Xiao Xiang, Mr. Mo Da.

That name has always had such a dark, elegant feel to it, for me.

And, of course, 'Jian Mo, Dugu Qiubai'.

[Suet Seung]

To add to the list:

The 6 Saint/fairies of Peach Valley (they count right?) Funny bunch of brothers

"iron head" You Tanzhi

LOL.

Actually I like "Lao Wantong"; old goofball sure doesnt sound good though

[junzi]

Miao Renfeng!

If I'm not wrong his nickname was 打遍天下无敌手金面佛苗人凤.

[CC]

I like 'Tie Zhang Shui Shang Piao' Iron Palm Drifting on the Water.

Most of them lose their poetic meaning in English.

The simple 'Xiao Li Fei Dao' is basic and neat too. Another one of my favourites.

Miao Renfeng!

its pretty grand with a nickname like that your gonna get alot of challenges

a translation attempt: "fighting everywhere unequalled under the heavens, the broad-faced buddha Miao Renfeng!"

pretty badass, but not as poetic in english

[lthlth]

Doctor Jian Si Bu Jiu - see death not help HSDS

Devilish Divine Calculator - the Hua Shan guy in HSDS

[K2Grey]

Hey, the 4 Evils nicknames are extremely cool in their overblowness. While I don't know the Chinese versions of the nicknames, the translations like "Overflowing Evil" or "Evil Extreme" are just pretty hilarious in a strange manner.

Yeah, the nicknames are just really evil words in Chinese. But it was just like, oh #4 is already very evil, but #3's gotta have a even more evil description. I don't remember what #3 and #4 are, but #2 is "Does Everything Evil" and #1 is "Full of Evil."

[godzilla]

Fragrant Princess is kinda cute (although I don't like the princess herself)

[Extremer88]

The ten evil people of The Legendary Siblings also have great nicknames.

"Blood Palms" Du Sha
"Mad Lion" Tie Zhan
"Not man nor woman" Tu Jiao Jiao
"Knife hiding in the smile" Ha Ha Er
"Half-man half-ghost" Yin Jiu You
"Never Consume people's head" Li Dazui
"Evil Gambler-Addict" Xuanyuan San Guang
"Harm men but never benefit ownself" - Bai Kai Xin
"Mesmerized by not paying life" - Xiao Mimi
"Rather die than being lose out, fighting hard for cheap gains." - Ouyang Brothers

I think it should be 'gold-faced Buddha'.
