@bbZush – there are long stories behind each name…and sometimes we forget as to why we kept it…but I remember Towel’s story…(I think) but not sharing…no chance of sharing…spoiling reputations of any of my friends…

@maryam – I think most universities keep their professors names on initials…thats a good way to avoid an embarassing nickname given from students…

@fariha – chawani? man….that’s more complex than a real name…but I am sure there is a story behind it…
