He did, lol :) I like it, considering he doesn't seem to have one, you'd think that would be cousins nickname ;)

The "j" sounds like a "y" does, so its more like "Be-elly"

But belly will do

I nominate "Z-man" for Lazar Hayward. Reminds me of John Lazar, who (as Z-man) first said the immortal line: This is my happening and it freaks me out!

OK, so maaaaybe the reference is a little too obscure (Edit: and the movie it's from is, ah, NSFW). Fun to say though, with a built-in catchphrase....
