Wayne Rooney's nickname is 'Shrek'. Never once heard him called 'Roo'.

Added another minute IronFirefly! And I didn't know that about Rooney, I've only ever heard Roo, but I changed it nonetheless!

I really think Wild Bill is a good nickname for Shakespeare.

One minor suggestion: It might be worth replacing the "The" nicknames with things like "Maid of Orleans, The" in order to get the alphabetization to work

I second kcostell's suggestion. It was annoying to have to search for The King under the Ts.

William Perry's nickname was the refrigerator, not the fridge

I'd only heard 'Shakespeare of Prose' used about William Hazlitt or Samuel Richardson.
