Well, it's allowed to ask - but you will not get a nickname for your player from the GMs. :)
The only time GMs give players a "nickname" is when you got two players with the same name, then one of the players may get an initial between the names. For example, if you got two John Doe one can get called John F. Doe.


Way back (we're talking really old days now) GMs used to let the user choose a nickname instead of an initial if you got two players with the same name. But that system was unfortunately misused (ppl bought a crappy player with the same name as their star player to get the chance to give their star a nickname. When the star player had gotten his nickname the user fired the crappy player...).
I think nicknames are fun, but letting users give their players nicknames themselves is to open up Pandora's box. Sure, most of them would be ok, but a huge amount will be totally unappropriate and GMs have enough to do as it is already.

How do some players get nicknames? Can they be "born" with them?


Almost all players are "borned" with their nicknames. They get their nicknames before they reach the Hattrick pitch so to say. In rare occasions (like (2777922)) theyre given a nickname after a memorable moment in Hattrick.

Sometimes GMs also give some players an initial (like John F. Doe) if a team got two players with the same name.
