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!
#2 Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson had many nicknames. Of all his nicknames, MJ was famous. Many of his fans including the media refer to Michael Jackson as MJ. He also had an honorific nickname, which we believe is one of the most famous honorific nicknames in the entertainment industry, "The King of Pop." Michael Jackson was also known as The Gloved One, Jacko, Smelly, Applehead, and Mike. His critics, however, gave him a rather awkward and insulting nickname, "Wacko Jacko." Many tabloids and magazines used the "Wacko Jacko" nickname to refer to the best-selling music artist, at a time when he was in the news for wrong reasons.
