    I like just calling him Yao, that is all he needs. Just like Kobe goes by Kobe. I like dynasty too, so we could have the Franchise and the Dynasty. Yao is the best though because you can call him, Yao-za, Yao-zilla, Yao-ee, Yao-who, etc.

    Monster Ming (if focus is to be intimidating)
    Little Ming (if focus is on irony)
    The Tower of Power (ok... a little cheesy)

    Godzilla is Japanese.
    He destroys Tokyo, which is a city in Japan.

    I don't think we should be displaying our ignorance about Yao's culture in our nickname for him.

    ;)
