Or something idiosyncratic, like Pop Tart.

But the rule pretty much is: if you like your nickname, no one will use it. It's only the derogatory ones that stick. My friend Tony got stuck with the nickname Squirrelly Curly, because of his hair, and the fact that he's squirrelly. So we're driving back from the beach in Galvaston, and he gets tweaked because we're always calling him Squirrelly Curly, and he says, "No, call me Bud-head". And I said, "Okay, Butthead", and he was Butthead for years. This was long before Beavis and Butthead[1], in fact, I think that Mike Judge got the original idea for Butthead from my friend Tony Lynch who lives in Austin. We also called him Stoney and Lynchy and Tone-Loc and Toni Toney Tony, but I like Butthead the best because of that story. Call him up and tell him which one you like best!

[1] I tried to find a link to a Beavis and Butthead website, but all the links were dead. THere were some cool looking sites listed, like:

beavis-butthead.com
Beavis and Butt-Head Home Page
Beavis Web Page
Butthead Web Page
Shane Rebenschied's Beavis and Butt-Head Page
The Beavis and Butt-Head..uhh...home..or something.
Ktula's Beavis and Butt-Head Home Page
The National Beavis Association
Alex's Beavis and Butt-Head Site
Cheesy's Beavis and Butt-Head Page
The Cornholio Zone
Kid Slick's Music and Chicks Homepage
Shim's Answerphone Messages Page
Jim'z Beavis and Butthead Master Page
Axe's Beavis and Butt-Head Page
The Beavis and Butt-Head Palace
Cool Pap's Beavis & Butt-Head Page
Ryan's Beavis and Butthead Page

I guess that means that pop-culture has passed B&B by.
