The Finalists In the Steve Nash Nickname Contest Are…
Once again, it is just too hard to pick a clear-cut winner ourselves for the nickname contest. We let you guys decide on Glen Davis and Gilbert Arenas, so now we want to know what you think the best nickname for Steve Nash is. We narrowed it down to seven entries, and the winner will get this “Nashty” t-shirt by twoeightnine design.
Let us know in the comments section which name you think is the winner. Most votes wins. We will tally them up and announce the winner on Friday. Kid Canada? The guy is 36. Hair Canada? Been used before. The Victorian Delorean? Would even a knowledgeable Nash fan get that without too much explanation? Vote on the name that is most original and the one you think can actually stick.
- Maple Syrup or The Mop (from reader str8ganksta)
- Nashional Treasure (from reader GM)
- Stevie Wonder (from reader LakeShow84)
- The Vending Machine (from reader Celts Fan)
- “Stone Cold” Steve Nash (from reader sh!tfaced)
- Nashter of Disaster (from reader Heather S)
There you have it. Tell us below which one we should go with.

Yeah, Stone Cold Steve Nash is the only nickname I can see myself saying without sounding like a douche.

Badger says:
Stone Cold or Stevie Wonder.
Hey DIME, you guys need to do a contest for Chris Paul. He needs a nickname since “CP3″ is lame. Chris Bosh also needs one. “CB4″ is a little better because of the movie reference, but it’s not like Bosh looks like Chris Rock so it’s too random.

Kid Canada… thats who he really is. Even when he dies he’s left a legacy as Kid Canada. Would you give Wayne “the great one” Gretzky” a new name?
Kid Canada!!!

None of these are really that great, 2 are ripped off and the rest are pretty lame.
Soon you’ll be trying to pass off gouch as a good nickname. oh wait that happened

Soopa says:
The only one i can picture my self saying is Stone Cold Steve Nash.
The others are good aswell and have good symbolism etc, but cant imaging yelling “Nashter of Disaster” or “Maple Syrup” when Nash hits a clutch three….
May 27th, 2010 at 4:09 am
Practical Joe says:
These all suck, but I’d say Vending Machine sounds the least gay. When people think of “Stone Cold,” a wiry Canadian with a bad haircut is the last thing they picture…
At the end of the day, I’m sticking with OL’ DIRTY NASHTARD at the sports bar.

I do like Kid Canada but seeing as he’s “old” and seeing as canada is old how about Canadian Cucumber because if he gets any older he’ll be a vegetable…

Definitely Nashional Treasure – says it all.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:27 am

Being a Canadian I gotta go with Nashional Treasure. Stevie Wonder reminds me to much of the musician and Stone Cold is just to WWE.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:34 am

Gotta be National Treasure….. cause he is!!
May 27th, 2010 at 7:39 am
GM says:
Cool, nice to make the finals can’t really go wrong with any of these choices.
That being said, for some reason I could only see The Raptors announcers using any of these nicknames, including mine.

KnicksFan84 says:
Stevie Wonder is too close to Stevie Franchise Francis.
Boulder Dash was a video game I think so why not call him
Bolder Nash. Homeboy is bold for playing no D ever in his career and still getting not 1 but 2 League MVP’s. Now that’s Bold!
May 27th, 2010 at 9:24 am
sh!tfaced says:
And oh… thanks for the support, btw. Good luck to all the finalists.
and my vote is for “Stone Cold”… but if you can’t vote for yourself then I’m for “Stevie Wonder”…
May 27th, 2010 at 10:07 am
Jeff says:
The ones in the comments are better – Half Hair/Half Amazin and Hair Canada need to be last-minute write ins for a final vote.
I can actually see Hair Canada and Half Hair/Half Amazing being used on ESPN.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:13 am
M3 says:
Nashional Treasure.
Only downside is it works best in print, if you say it, it loses something b/c it would just sound like “national”

The Vending Machine…clearly
May 27th, 2010 at 10:22 am

why not Nashty? like the t-shirt already says. I think that works. Dude is obviously nasty.. snapping his nose back in and taking all the beating that he does.

doesn´t matter who gets elected. What happens next is that the nickname is not used.

What about Stevie Dimes…
Don’t know we’re still suggesting nick names as you know, they’ve already created a shortlist but oh well…

May 27th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Simon says:
Kid Canada or Captain Canada.
As a Canadian, to me those are his nicknames and it is not up to Dime or any other person/publication to give him a new one! Give the winner the t-shirt but scrap the nickname thing. Nicknames just happen, they don’t need contests. If you give him one and it sticks (like the writer who gave Magic’s his back in the day), then that’s ok. Just don’t jam it down our throats.
May 27th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Adam Flomenbaum says:
Looks like alot are feeling, Nashional Treasure, Stone Cold, and Stevie Wonder — if you wanna suggest more that’s cool but just vote on the ones we got. Hair Canada and Kid Canada have been done before -
