Official Greg Oden Nickname Thread!
We can't let New York have all the fun with Zach and Eddy (I chose EZ money as a good nickname for them), we have to come up with a daring and creative nickname for the newest Blazer. Its a heavy responsiblity, I know, but I think we are up to the challenge.
Feel free to throw any idea out there, I'll start it off.

Naw...
On the other hand, if the ravens had game...
Personally
Nice job whoever made that connection.

Somebody call Northern Europe
Mt. Oden
Olden
Odin
Bunch of neat pseudonyms for "Odin," but we'll nead Bjork to tell us how to pronounce them:
Langbarðr "Long Beard"
Jörmunr "The Mighty One"
Sigðir "Victory Bringer"
Veratýr "God of Men"
Hávi "High One"
Probably just end up being "Greg," since he seems to just be a genuinely nice dude.

Names
GOBot
The big G.O. (geo)
Thunderdome (I don't know where that came from, it just popped into my head, but after a huge block imagine an announcer saying "welcome to the thunderdome!)
The Terminator (he likes movies and again an indication of his defense)
G.OD... but that would be tempting fate, so let's NOT do that one! All our players would probably come down with the plaque or something.
I don't know about a nickname,
"Wise LeBron"?

"EL VIEJO"

nickname
The OG (Original Gangsta)?
The Big Grin
(Not to mention all the smiles in between the two)
THE BIG GRIN
He will always be...
or
He needs something more... the big thunder... the thundercat... The oncoming storm...
Aldridge and Oden
Lack of nicknames

It's hard to believe...
Jarrett Jack "of All Trades" - because he's a combo guard.
Jarret Jack "Frost" - Ice Cold under pressure
Jack "Be Nimble" - after a crafty layup
"You Don't Know" Jack
The list goes on and on...
I like Thunder and Lightning for Oden and Aldridge or Thunder and Flash, but I don't think they're too creative. Mt. Oden was good as well.
I can just imagine Mike Barrett introducing Home Games on FSN with "It's Midnight in the Garden of Oden..."

Somewhat simple...
sound like something
I doubt i'm the only one though.
That would make Roy be Wesley...
and Sergio is obvious.

Yep. The Spaniard.
oooohhhhh...
By definition, a nodule of stone having a cavity lined with crystals or mineral matter...
Just get him a platinum grill, and it makes perfect sense.

Let the play decide the nickname
Chauncey Billups: Mr. Bigshot
Gary Payton: The Glove
Dwyane Wade: Flash
KG: Big Ticket
Nicknames that are puns on the name should not be allowed for our superstar center. Let's call Greg or Oden or Greg Oden until he goes out there and stuffs some fools and at the other end dunks over them, then the nicknames will flow.

You forgot
I agree we have to see GO play before a nickname really catches. The best nicknames do come out of play.
Unless, of course, you just want to call him Optimus Prime.
--Dave
the geek in me
Odenmus Prime
HA!
Although I'm now leaning towards the big thunder (for cool thunderstruck and welcome to the thunderdome theme songs) plus that goes with aldridge who would be the lightning (he's quick and just as dangerous).
Together our team would be "the oncoming storm" as we blaze a trail of hurt across your asphalt.
Number 52
The Anti-Ha!
Thinking Superheroes...
The Thing? (He sort of eerily has some Greg Oden about him...)
Colossus?
Juggernaut?
Martian Manhunter? (Hahaha...)
And then I suppose you could make a team of Ultimate Avengers out of our roster, starring...
Brandon Roy (Captain America)
Ime Udoka (Iron Man)
Sergio Rodriguez (Wasp)
Greg Oden (The Incredible Hulk)
We just need a Thor & a Giant Man (Aldridge?)

Oden needs a connection to the NW
Totem - though this makes him seem like he is immobile
or
Old Growth
or
Clearcutter
and my favorite so far above - Mt. Oden.
One more
I have two ideas,
Powerball,
and Handsome
