"Three Body Problem" character nicknames
TL;DR If anyone knows of any character nicknames or aliases in the Three Body Problem series besides the "Shi Qiang" / "Da Shi" pair, please mention them in this thread.

I am preparing to start reading the Three Boy Pdroblem series. Part of that is generating an XRAY file with the WordDumb calibre plugin, which in this case didn't do that great a job with many of the characters, even though the first 2 books start with a list of characters, which I guess have formatting that thwarts WordDumb, which has done a great job for me for other books. Fortunately, WordDumb provides for user supplied names, descriptions, and aliases. I've made such a file from the character list for the first book, which mentions the "Da Shi" nickname for "Shi Qiang".

An internet search only turned up discussions mentioning the presence of nicknames in the books without naming any. So if anyone knows of any such nicknames or aliases, please mention them in this thread. A pointer to any list of such names on the net would also be welcome.

I will be happy to post my worddumb-custom-x-ray.json when it is more complete.
