It's weird to me, and not just because of the Puritan style. Why would you "fear" God? Does it imply God is evil? I imagine I'd feel the same about Fürchtegott unless fear in German has a much different meaning than in English. I get that in the past it meant something closer to awe or reverence, but in modern English fear is less like awe and more like hate.

"FG" is awkward to say, I would have picked a nickname like Firi/Feri or maybe first + last name initials.
