[Opinions] Nix on Nixon ...
in reply to a message by Gaia
His parents must not have ever heard any of the Nixon tapes where he used a lot of racial and ethnic insults and bad language in general. Either that or they're just dumb.
It's a dumb name for a person. I guess it fits in with Kennedy and Madison and Reagan and Carter, but nothing about that ex-presidents' names genre does a thing for me. It would be sort of cute on a dog or cat.
Nix isn't a good nn either. It means no. Or as a verb, to discard,disqualify/put the kibish on something.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Oh snap. I forgot about the Nix on Nixon thing. Dodge what I said about the nickname. Nick is fine. I mean, better than the Dick jokes he might get.
