okay!!!! I still wanted to share my Wallace Wallace design :3

no offense if these are your names

Beans O'Reilly (Sleepless). Who the FUCK names their kid BEANS?????? THAT'S NOT A NICKNAME, THAT'S HIS ACTUAL FUCKING NAME WHAT. NO WONDER HE WAS SO EASILY MANIPULATED, HIS PARENTS FUCKING HATE HIM

Hash "Hashtag" Taggart (Supergifted). It makes me think of hashbrown.

Freeland "String" McBean (Slacker series). String bean???? Is Gordon hungry while writing his books??

Bernard "Barnstorm" Anderson (The Unteachables). Nothing technically wrong with the name but it's so odd to have his name be that with a nickname like BARNSTORM

Steve "Bear" Bratsky (Restart). Read Barnstorm.

Clayton Pouncey (Linked). Barnstorm.

Hugh Winkleman (Schooled). No wonder he was bullied, he was doomed from the start with the name WINKLEMAN

Garth Avalon (Mixed Up). Was in one scene and actually got his name made fun of

Brock BUMgartner (Whatshisface)

Caroline McNutt (Linked). Nut

Steinke Newhouse (The Superteacher Project). He was made to be bullied for his name. Literally. That's like the basis of his entire character

Wallace Wallace (No More Dead Dogs)

Nathaniel SPITZner (No More Dead Dogs)

Myron "The Void" Muckenfuss (No More Dead Dogs). The Void is so cool but his name is fucking Muckenfuss

Norbert Westham the SECOND AND THIRD (Faker). THERE IS NOW A GK MAIN CHARACTER CANONICALLY NAMED NORBERT

Raymond "Gasbag" Vaughn (6th Grade Nickname Game). Not a bad real name but his nickname...it's supposed to be affectionate tho

Peter "Skunk" Widman (6th Grade Nickname Game). Once again, supposed to be an affectionate nickname

Andrew "Big" Byrd (Maxx Comedy). His name is BIG BIRD.
