Filipinos love their nicknames. I work with a Pow, Ice, Girlie, Nuj, Kissy, Love-Love, Lovey, Rocky (female), Butch, MM, Cajugs, Ge, Bon, Bong, etc. In most cases, their nicknames have nothing to do with their real first name. Not really a problem, however, IBM uses their real names for their email address book. So you have to know their nicknames and their real names if you need to email them.
One of the big actors here is a guy named Dingdong Dantes. He isn't a comedian, he is the George Clooney of the Philippines. And he selected Dingdong for his nickname.

Perhaps you ought to dig up your old nickname. They would think you're pretty cool.
Ok, now we have to know what your old nickname was?!!
I'm still waiting on the nickname.
Steve,
I think you should be the one to tell it.
Signed,

I guess I'm getting old because I don't remember that one.
Oh I wish I could tell you!! Dad won't let me. Maybe I can give you a hint. It starts it with a D and with D. Oh and my Dad loved Batman.
