Question

7．Here are some stories and facts about nicknames that you might find cool．
Why are they called"nicknames"？
Hundreds of years ago，many people believed that names were a person's private property（財(cái)產(chǎn)） and that they shouldn't be spoken too often．Because of this，people started using other names to call each other，and in old England，these were called"eke names"，which means"added names"．Over the years，people began pronouncing the word"eke"wrong，and it changed to"nickname"at last．
Unknown actors
In the early days of Hollywood，many actors and actresses thought that starring in movies would hurt their stage acting careers，so they kept their names out of the credits （演員表）．Movie fans，not knowing the real names of their favorite stars，began calling them by nicknames，like"the Cowboy"．Even after the actors learned that movies fans would not hurt them，the people in charge of the studios refused to say their real names out because they were afraid that fame（聲譽(yù)，名望）would lead to big salaries．They were right about that one!
Policemen and robbers
The FBI （聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局） has a habit of giving wanted bank robbers unforgettable nicknames so that the police can be on the lookout（警戒；監(jiān)視）for them．One New York robber got the nickname"the Bad Breath Robber"because his breath was so stinky （ 惡臭的）．A famous robber called"Pretty Boy"because of his good looks and a more recent robber was nicknamed"the Ugly Robber"．He probably wasn't as handsome as"Pretty Boy"

72．Why shouldn't a person's name be spoken too often hundreds of years ago？
Becauseit was a person's private property．
73．What did"eke name"mean in old England？
It meant"add names"．．
74．Movie fans didn't know their favorite stars'real names in the early days of Hollywood，did they？No，they didn't．
75．How does the FBI try to make sure that the police will be on the lookout for wanted bank robbers？By giving them unforgettable nicknames．/The FBI gives them unforgettable nicknames．
