Can we please stop calling him Reke?

I'm the first to get after a weak nickname (ie Special K or Mandry)... have been punished for going to far in my criticism of names I considered ultra-lame. I hate crappy nicknames.
But Reke = wreak ... wreak havoc... and I consider it an awesome nickname.
And when he stumbles, we can wave our hand in front of our nose, wince, and say "Reek... how could you".
I love Reke Havoc as a nickname though - really suits his style.
But if the board votes it down I will comply and call him the elevansinator or whatever dopey thing Reynolds comes up with.
Reke! i like it.

I'm not even sure what's so awful about it. It's an abbreviation of his name, he seems to use it himself, and it's not meant to be demeaning. (The association with the word "reek" is very slim, at least in my mind.) As opposed to say, Spencer's most recent nickname, which is something worth fighting against.
I've always kind of liked Soggy, at least for his wuss nights.
As for Reke, as reigning typo king I will freely admit to having to be careful not to switch those two letters, which is I'm sure the OPs complaint. But he uses it himself, and the association with the longer and highly awesome Reke/Wreak Havoc nickname is more than enough to make it fine. Once h gets up and going in the next few years into nightly dominator/triple double threat I may just switch over fulltime to Havoc, but we'll see.
