    Cool bears

    Hi,

    Is the folowing sentence correct?

    He bears the nickname of "the freak" because of his weird behavior?

    Yes, but most people would omit "of" in this case.

    And because it's a name, "Freak" should be capitalized.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
