‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

He also didn't get a lot of help from his receiving corps.
There's no point sugarcoating it. Arch Manning mostly stunk.
It's easy to overreact to one game. Plenty of QBs have shaken off a rough outing and gone on to greatness.
But few will soon forget him laying an egg in the first meaningful start of his career.

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States
