I'll let you in on a little secret: There are much much worse nicknames then Jdub that posters could be calling you.
All Jdub is really, is just an alternate way to say JW while shortening the letter W to dub, although they are using more letters to shorten the W.
We really don't see what the big deal is and why you could possibly hate it so much.
Would you prefer your JW nickname be Jdubbullu instead of Jdub? Or even Jdoubleyou? That would look like there was 2 of you.
Hey Jdubbullu.
Hey Jdoubleyou.
See, Jdub is much better then those.

I know that is where it came from. That is obvious. The effect of "shortening" the W phonetically is really taking the letter away. Anything that avoids actually typing the letter W is removing it. If people don't want to type the W, they can call me my real name. Andrea does not have that letter.
Quote:What if someone comes up with a nickname on your new name? Are you going to change that name too?
Nope. The whole reason I started this thread was to make sure if anyone does, I will not reject it.
Andreas Fault. Just drop the San, and go with it.

Quote:Forgive me for being a little bit pop-psychology here, the problem is that accepting nicknames given is a common prerequisite for acceptance into the group. You can't pick your own nickname and by rejecting the nickname given that's what you're trying to do.
People are often nice and sensitive but only when you stay within what they consider acceptable behavior. Rejecting a non-vulgar nickname is not considered acceptable in most groups. And trying to causes the reaction that you're seeing; insistent use of the nickname.
The fact that Jdub is not a vulgar nickname does not mean I have to like it. I only want to give people a chance to make up another nickname, not create my own. Apparently other people don't see my request the same way I do.

I sure hope no one comes up with the nickname Jdub2 for you.
Don't worry, I won't bring it up.

Much better. The year 1997 is when I became a Jaguars fan, so adding that number would help me stop fighting the dub. :yes:
Finally someone gets it. This is what I am talking about - approving someone else's idea.

Congrats on the new name J97!
Ok first of all let me say this,what ever name you use is your own choice. Most everyone here is just giveing you suggestions. Now on that note,i think you should keep it like it is. Most of the posters here respect,and like your opions about the team. I would stick with your same name.

Maybe you should be JaguarsLady1997 or posters might think you are a man.
Unless you just don't want to take a chance on the nickname JL or JL97.

Yes, that would be good - better than using the word girl. Congratulations!
