    I think Von Wafer (full name: "Vakeaton Quamar Wafer") has earned the right to have a more settled nickname. So, what suggestions do y'all have?

    A few tidbits that might help:
    -He was born in Homer, Louisiana [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Wafer]
    -He was a McDonald's All-American and came in second to LeBron James in the dunk contest
    -He sometimes wears a mohawk, although this may be a passing phase

    In the past, I think he's been called the obvious "Von-illa Wafer", though I'm not sure where that originated. Personally, I think it's funny, but a little weak since it doesn't really imply any positive aspect of his game, like most great sports nicknames do.

    My suggestion: Baron von Wafer. It's simple and implies power, continuing in the tradition of royalty-related basketball nicknames. I also like the way his first name becomes a preposition.

    A couple of suggestions from the thread about re-signing Wafer:

    I think you guys are terrible at making nicknames, and Wafer sounds just fine. :D

    I think "Sick Nasty" just about sums it up.

    Though when he posterized someone, I enjoy "you have been Waferized"

    Let's call him RA even though it makes no sense just so we can create mass confusion on the boards with 4 RAs.
