Marky Mark Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 How about "The Madman"? If you are thinking about what comes natural, its probably just going to be "Mads" or some abbreviated form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusguyman Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 In the end, the whole nickname discussion is superfluous. Even if we unanimously decided on Mads, that doesn't mean Jason or the team will adopt it. Really, we're discussing pet names here more than nicknames. And if that's the case, who cares if everyone else uses the same one? If you call him any of the suggestions here, we know who you're talking about. If it helps make you a bigger fan of the player, just use your favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor guy would be miserable. I think we would need to consult "The Little Hurt" Craig Grebeck to determine if this is factual. Also Madrigals walk up music needs to be Strange Magic.

Richie Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I can't recall a nickname that ever really panned out when it was forced or consciously sought out (and then pushed for) by fans or media. True nicknames are something that just happen. If you're already fighting to find one, it's probably not coming. The name helps... which is why a version of "magician" "magical" or "magic man" could stick for Madrigal. "Nick Magical" or Nick "The Magic Man' Madrigal.
