Mine is an old nickname from high school. Eddie was taken from my last name and my football coach used to call me Little Eddie because I was one of the smallest on the team. Well, there was a go-cart racetrack in town that went by the name of Fast Eddie's (it's still here), so my teammates started calling me Fast Eddie just to play off of Little Eddie. It was no secret that I was not very fast at all (I was about 120 lbs and played guard, corner, kick team, slow running back on scout team - it was a very small high school), so I was dubbed Mediocre-speed Eddie for a while. Since I was a long haired rocker that played music & Mediocre-speed Eddie was a mouthful, the fellas finally settled on "Cool Eddie". The coaches, however stuck w/ Little Eddie, but even my math teacher called me Cool Eddie until I graduated.
