Where to put Nicknames?
Will you, please, help me with the following thing:
1) George Smith T(t)he Black
2) George T(t)he Black Smith
The Black is a nickname of a famous person. Where do you usually put it: before or after a surname? Does a nickname require any quotes?
Many thanks

Teacher Re: Where to put Nicknames? We usually see nicknames in quotation marks between the first and last names.
William "Willie the Actor" Sutton (bank robber.)
Luis Inácio "Lula" da Silva (ex-president of Brazil)
