    I always thought 'Sweet Pea' was badass. For one thing, his style was exemplified by the name, for another thing, it puts out there that he's so bad that he can have a 'cute' nickname.

    Same thing with 'Pretty Boy' and 'Sugar'. There's a sense of humor there and a confidence that you don't need to be known as Mike 'the Murderer' Mclane.

    Renaldo "Mr" Snipes is badass

    "Terrible" Terry Norris was perfect, especially when he styled it into his hair

    Charles "The Hatchett" Brewer is memorable
