My son's cousin made up the nickname Slade-O-Potato and it has stuck ever since. I personally call him Sladie and he hates it....."It's not cool mom. Call me Slade-O."

That is so funny! We named our son Slade after his great granddad's middle name and we also call him "Slade-O-Potato" :) At first we called him "Slade-O" because his middle name is Orion so all his hospital stuff read Slade O Wolfe, and that quickly became "Slade-O-Potato".
