The primary purpose of a name and a nickname is the same. We call or recognize people by their names. Well apparently, no one knows who invented the idea of using nicknames, but its history dates back to the 13th century. Hey, what's your nickname, by the way? Who gave it to you? We are sure someone in your family might have given that to you. Most of us get our monikers from our parents, family or friends. When it comes to celebrities, they either give themselves cool nicknames or receive them from the media or their fans. As you may know already, many Hollywood stars don't prefer using their real names. Check the cool nicknames of 12 celebrities and find out how they got them!
#10 Armando Cristian - Pitbull
"Pitbull" is a weird nickname. We got used to hearing it, but we would understand how uncanny the name sounds only if we had met a guy named "Pitbull" before. Rapper Pitbull's original name is Armando Christian. The Cuban rapper chose his nickname because he wanted a new moniker that signifies a strong force. While talking about his nickname, Pitbull said, "They [Pitbull dogs] bite to lock. The dog is too stupid to lose. And they're outlawed in Dade County. They are basically everything that I am. It's been a constant fight." He also has a lesser-known nickname, "Mr. International".
