Willie Pep wasn't his nickname though, his nickname was 'Will O The Wisp', didn't he just change his name to make it easier to pronounce kinda like Marciano did ?.

Yeah, absolutely.

I guess I'm going off topic, kind of.

Just thinking of names in general used that aren't their actual names I.e Willie Pep or like you said Marciano.

When the Thread Title is specific to Nicknames.

So yeah, you're right.
