What's a good nickname for Marcos Baghdatis?

[BreakPoint]

Since the name Baghdatis is somewhat easy to misspell, and thus, not so easy to type quickly, wouldn't it be easier if we all agreed on a shorter nickname for him? Especially, since I'm sure there will be tons of more posts about him over the next couple of days, win or lose against Federer? Just like many call Federer, "Fed", what do you think would be a good nickname for Baghdatis?

I voted for Baggy.

Well we've already seen several nicknames being used in these posts, e.g.
-Bag Daddy
-Big Daddy
-Baggy
-BaggyDaddy

I prefer Bags and the Bagman.

How about Bagdad..... it's fitting since he has an Arab look about him, even though he's not an Arab.

 

[Tennis_Fan_109]

I think Bagdaddy is the best one because its got a "Who's your daddy" element, and also is very close sounding to his name. Add it up there!

I think we call him Baggy until he wins a title, then BagDaddy until he wins a grand slam, and only then when he has grown we upgrade him to B-Diddy!

(like Puffy-PuffDaddy-P-Diddy)

Big Bad Bag

Big Bad Bag

Like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Cool nineties reference.

Well, since he trains in France, I think people probably call him 'Marc'.
And Marc is very easy to type, write or yell from the crowd.

Ella Marcos....Allez Marc!

CanNOT believe I'm serious about staying up to watch tonight's match.

 

[slice bh compliment]

Bagh-adelic, baby!

Unless he is playing against Amer Delic. That would be confusing, sexually and otherwise. I'll stick with Marc, though it is plain.

Why? Where do you live? It's at 3:30 AM eastern time (USA)

 

[Docalex007]

I like Bags.....Fed vs. Bags.

On a non-serious note - what about Baggy Bagger Baggie Bagges Bags?

 

[Matthew]

I am a big fan of the "Bag Daddy" :mrgreen:

 

[Californication]

I like "Bombs Over" Bag daddy

 

[pound cat]

Foxsports is calling him "Cyprus Cyclone".

No matter where you are in the contiguous US...

Well, that was eleven characters.

LOL, I have no idea what you're talking about! Voodoo Daddy? WTF?

 

[slice bh compliment]

Sorry. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was a rock-n-roll sort of retro swing band, popular in the mid-late 90s.

[okdude1992]

how bout none of the stupid nicknames above?????
whoever posted it before was right- lets stick to Marc...
-and yes bagh-adelic would get very confusing if he was playing Amer Delic and bring up very interesting discussions...
VOTE FOR MARC!!!!

 

[BreakPoint]

But I think if we go with "Marc", we might as well just go with "Marcos" so that there's less confusion. I mean if I just said, "I saw Marc play last night", is everyone going to know I'm referring to Baghdatis? Probably not.

Also, I guess technically, "Marc" could also Marcelo Rios or Marc Kimmich.

 

[D-man]

Bag daddy. No question.

[Fetus Gerulaitis]

My girlfriend likes the nickname

"Mac-datis" . . . it sounds better than it looks, in writing, now that I am writing it . . . doh!

 

[BreakPoint]

"Bagdad" is still my personal favorite since that name has been on the news everyday for the past 3 years, it already rolls off of your tongue and sticks in your head. Not an easy one to forget. Besides, it's a perfect phonetic shortening of the name "Bag-dad-tis".

 

[ktownva]

"The Bagster"
"Bagness"
"Bagboy"
"Baggy-D"
"Scud" oops already taken
"Scud Lite"

Just got back from a seance. John Lennon was channeled. I told him all about this thread ... he laughed and replied, "Bagh-ism, man, tell the lads about Baghism".
