    Default Nicknames for the New guys...?

    So just wondering if you guys had thought of any nicknames for Raja, Boris, & Singletary?

    Heard someone talk about Ajinca & Boris working together called "The French Connection" but wondering if you guys had any nicknames for them, or if they had any old ones in PHX?

    Diaw was called "3D" for his versatility, it was mostly used in 05-06 when he was racking up the triple-doubles, but I think it's an old nickname of his that he got when he was playing in France with Tony Parker and all the French young'uns.

    Raja didn't have a nickname that I know/can remember, but he had his own sound effect when he scored/took a charge in the Suns arena (the same bell sound that Ben Wallace had).

    Not really nicknames but I had a good laugh at "fellow frog" (regarding the french connection) and apparently some Suns fans called Boris Diaw "Doris Meow" when he was too soft.

    i guess we'll see what they do in first games for our team and something will emerge.

    We have to wait to see how they perform before they are rewarded with nicknames.

    If Diaw doesn't work out then I'm all for the Doris Meow name I heard previously.

    Raja Bell- Faja from Austin Powers? photoshops galore for that one

    How bout we don't make up any nicknames, we just call them Bell (or Raja), Diaw, and Singletary so people know who we are talking about and we don't sound gay

    Initials come in to play usually. RB, BD, and SS? BDiaw, Rbell, and Ssingletary doesn't work. BigD, Centura (RB), and Singlet maybe. Raja Daja. For whom the Bell tolls. Liberty Bell. Seriously a bell gong would be cool when he scores.

    Diaw (avoiding the PHX nickname of Doris)...not easy. D-up (either b/c he good at it or bad at it)...

    This is fun, I am going to kicking this around for days...

    Juwanna Man...haha for our 16 yr vet.
