Do you think the nick-name "Beaver Cleaver" would fly today?


On the other hand, Texas Ranger's pitcher Randy Johnson got away with his name , so maybe.

Do kids even have nicknames anymore? I don't even think they use diminutive versions of their actual names--no more "Dave" or "Bobby". It's all "David" and "Robert" (that is, the ones who aren't "Connor" and "Cody").
