If YOU were Hercules, would you ALLOW people to call you HERC?

1. I'd make them call me "The Herc"

2. A couple of issues ago, in Rolling Stone...

...in that cover story they did on the breakup of The Beatles, there's an anecdote about how Yoko used to refer to "Beatles"...she'd say "Beatles do this, Beatles do that," and McCartney would gently correct her with "Actually, it's 'The' Beatles, luv..."

And she'd go right back to "Beatles do this, Beatles do that..."

Oh, that Yoko!

9. ...who HATES being called "Sammy"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. The we must place the blame solely on GOOGLE IMAGES.

I type it in, they screw it up, I blame them. Yes, YOU, GOOGLE!

11. I had a great-uncle who went by Herc.

But I never knew what his full name was -- could have been Herkimer or Hercules.

12. I think Herc-y baby is confident enough in himself

that he can handle being called "Herc" - he knows he can kick their ass till Tuesday, if they bother him.

[proteus_lives]

13. Depends.

Is Amadeus Cho calling him Herc?

[Bucky]

14. What's the alternative nickname? "Cules"? "Leez"? "Ricky"?

Most given-name-based nicks go by the emphasized syllable. Ergo Napoleon Bonaparte would be called "Polo" or "Boney", but never "Nappy". And never "Pull-a-bone" either, if that's what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. My formal name is Stinkabaloo. I allow people to call me Stinky, or Stinks. But never Stanky or ....

..... or Stanks

And stinker is a noun, but not a name.

[MrScorpio]

17. Just call me Cool Herc Scorp
