As far as my nickname goes, I have used it for many, many years... was actually my CB handle when I was driving truck for a living. I am kind of used to it. 
I only got on FaceBook to see family pics/info of some family that cant use any other means for some reason, then I joined a few apps on it but have very little info on myself on it and only share that with my select family group created in settings. then icon/header pics for other group interests. the internet is not like your local small town coffee shop of buddies. more like hanging out in a dark coridor of a down town New York city subway at midnite. think about that next time you want to share yourself online.

One could just use the old fashioned method and sign there posts with an appropriate name .
It makes is easier to address a particular poster.
My real nick name is jim. but I have been using Tin for so long that works also and I often get Tim .
I have never used that but sometimes people read real fast.
You are right though most folks do not sign there posts with anything and to get a simple one syllable nickname from there moniker can be awkward.
Tin or Jim
(just do not call me late for dinner)

don't feel bad I can't see them either. Maybe it's our browser?
