BJ,
I actually gave this some extended thought, since you wanted suggestions. I see that you have decided to stay with BJ, and that's cool, but I do have a suggestion.
Given that you are a young man, in pursuit of training, learning and your dreams; you appear to be thoughtful and of good nature; you have come to the 'center of wisdom' for all things boat and fishing related; it just seems that the following fits well.
Therefore, I unofficially bestow upon you the nickname of:
Grasshopper (pronounced with almost a silent 'h', with a slight oriental accent)
This in the true honor of those that seek true wisdom and guidance at the feet of their masters (tounge completely in cheek!).
Tex
