<p>Hey all. So my name is Dahiam (pronounced as my screen name.. dye-am). Now here's the thing.. I've always had trouble with my name and it's difficult spelling. People are always pronouncing it wrong, and I'm always having to correct them. It gets very tiring. I'm going off to college soon, and have thought about adopting a nickname, or if its even worth doing. Now there's not many nicknames ...

In regular conversation people usually just say “Harvard kids” or something though. Other names you might hear include “Harvardians” and (less commonly) “Crimsonites.”</p>. <p>Yalies are also frequently ...
For many of us who went to University of Chicago (either as undergrad or grad students) from 1970’s to early 1990’s (and we have to count on @marlowe1 to tell us the history before 1970’s) we used U of C as the standard abbreviation. I still prefer to call University of Chicago as U of C. Obviously, there was a branding problem as U of C may mean University of California in west coast ...
<p>I’m wondering what the official nickname for an Alabama student is. For example, if you go to UCLA you are a “Bruin”, and if you go to the University of Oregon you are a “Duck”. Is there any equivalent term at the University of Alabama?</p>
<p>Hey, there’s nothing wrong with good old Binghamton.</p> <p>St. Olaf always makes me giggle because I grew up watching The Golden Girls with my mom. </p>
