An In Series Nickname is not a [[Fan Nickname]]; although it can frequently be used as such. Instead, it is a nickname specifically given in-series, not even by the producers alone. It is always regarded as canon. Often given out by [[The Nicknamer]]. If done enough this may overlap with [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] or [[Only Known
