Like many, I’m a fan of mafia movies and folklore. I was reading this story on mob nicknames and it includes a link to a mob nickname generator.
Too tempting. After doing all the co-workers and family members, I thought I’d turn it to various Saab executives and people.
So here we go. If Saab were in the mob, we’d be hearing from….
Saab USA General Manager, Jay “Thinks-he’s-so-smart” Spenchian
Saab USA PR guy, Jan-Willem “The Grown Up” Vester
Saab Sweden General Manager, Jan-Ake “The Sicilian” Jonsson
Saab Sweden PR guy, Christer “The Grown Up” Nilsson
Saab Australia General Manager, Parveen “The Jeweler” Batish
Saab Australia PR girl, Emily “The Lemming” Perry

GM Vice President, Robert “The Pipsqueak” Lutz
GM Vice President, Design, Ed “The Lone Drinker” Wellburn
Saab Designer, Anthony “Danger-Prone” Lo
Saab Designer, Alex “The Xenophobe” Daniel
A couple of other notables…..

Rally driving legend, Erik “The Knitter” Carlsson

I’ll let you all look up and discover the mob nickname for Saabnet webmaster, Scott Patterson, for yourselves.
UPDATE: That’s one ‘t’ in Paterson, not two as above. The results are funny either way though.
————————–
Just a couple of the regular Trollhattan Saab commenters:
SaabKen: “Danger-Prone”
Greg “Extra Arm” Abbott
PT: “The Xenophobe”
TedY: “The Enforcer”
Drew B: “Childlike Complexion”
Al Aero: “Two Fists”
Edu “Killer” Saab
Eggs “Cedar Teeth” n Grits
Ben W: “The Toweler”
—————————
From Steven “Kids Incorporated” Wade or Swade “The Just”. Choose whichever you like.
Feel free to look up your own and drop it in comments.
There is only one “t” in Paterson, which results in a different nickname than the one you (wisely) didn’t disclose.
Nice very Nice.
Drew B: “Childlike Complexion” thats very acurate.
Al Aero: “Two Fists” I’m keeping well clear of you from now on.
Ben W: “The Toweler” What the fudge.

And Matt Gould “The Butcher, Baker and Candlemaker” but no two fisted fudge packer.
Steve Wade i like “Sweet Nostrils” unreal bannana peel
Thanks “Extra Arm”. Though having looked up the one-t nickname I think he’d try and have my family whacked if I printed either of them!!
And Matt, I’m surprised you didn’t look up Tony “The Waterboy” Breckenridge

Fantastic post,
Swady can you find the names for the folk at Saab Aust?
Shannons looked like a blast aswell!!
Two Fists
Hilarious. My real name results in ‘The Delicious’ — more appropriate for my nickname!
For those not happy to call me The Xenophobe, I will also answer to Fancy Pants or The Toweler.
“Ben W: “The Toweler” What the fudge.”
er, please explain? i just wanna be a hitman, not someone who hands a old fat italian Don his linen.
Ben “The Toweler” W
the oficial teabag dryer
“The Pants” has let you out to play again, Matt The Merciless?
Ah, the little things that relieve the boredom of the day. I think I’d a lot more fun making fudge right now.
I’m just glad my name isn’t Dan “Chimpy Nuts” Rotman!
Babyface
I’m having trouble accepting that Anna-Nicole Smith could possibly be “The Pope”. Jesus!
I could make at least 25 jokes using the word ‘Missionary’ at this point, but I’d better refrain.
Babyface
I dare you all to type in the name of the female Vic SCCAL Chairwoman
Two Fists!!
It’s The Gimp!!!
Take care babyface.
‘The Lemming’
aka ‘No thumbs’
Its “the Quill” here.
Surely Steve “The Wheels” Wade would fit. Or Steve “Alloys” Wade. God forbid you are just Suede.
Swade the Swede.
The Viggen met Viagra
Weven Stade
Nah, this is getting stoopid
Humpty “The Grown Up” Dumpty.
