i think he's always gonna be known as Rondo.  He's one of those one name guys.   I have the impression that he likes Rsquared, but really, it's just plain Rondo.  I think if he has a nickname that's stuck, it's The Kid.

Until Rajon Rondo gets an outside shot, he'll always be 'the flawed diamond' in the back of my mind.

Shaq called him FedEx, I think when the reporters asked him to give Rondo a nickname, he kinda just made it up on the spot =\

I agree in a way his nickname is just Rondo despite having a bad jumper a suitable nickname could be "The Young Veteran" when you think about it his on a veteran team running it, in a way he is a young veteran.

Way too late to be changing his nick-name, (I think we had this thread in his first season). Been calling him "Rage" ever since he showed up, (along with a bunch of other people) ... I'll stick with that. I also use "R2" once-in-a-while, and Mike Gorman calls him 'Jon, but with a soft "J", (like "Zhon") ... I like that, too.

The first thing that comes to mind is what comes out of my mouth whenever he shoots a jumper:

"Oh, no."
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I think it would be unfair to the great one if we were to decide on a name for Rondo before Green.

Holy Jeff Green, Super 8, the Leprechaun is with the. We kiss thy Green Lantern at the alter and bathe in the Greenious that holds thy Magic 8 Ball. You were traded for our sins of dominating in 2008, but we realize it was a sacrifice for the championship and you have returned and have dawned the number 8 to remind us of your Glory.



Amen

no need for a nickname when your name is unique like Rajon Rondo

I like Super 8 for Jeff Green

dude's name is rajon rondo.....he doesn't need a nickname with a name like that.


these nickname threads are kinda lame, imo.  nicknames are earned, not given over some random blog.  just my 2 cents and no disrespect to the op

No one going with RAON, because he has no "J"? Good, because that would be stupid.

I told you guys during the knicks series, he's "the switch."

He tries twice as hard in playoff games.  Him getting hurt in Miami is just more proof.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale
