I am named Ross, and I love my name. I also love all of the nicknames I get. It's funny because I've been called the same nicknames forever, yet when I meet someone new, they always think they are the first person to have ever called me that. Some examples are "Ross the Boss", "Rossy", "Rossypoo"... and I'd have to agree that "Ross the Boss" is the most accurate and correct way of describing myself. ;)
