Well, we've had a few trolls over the years but not the sort to make useful contributions.
Noddy Holder already has a nod in the page Noddy (makes for a lot of Noddies). Stay cool! --Old Dickens (talk) 16:11, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, had forgotten about Noddy in SM. You're right. But Noddi sounds like he may well have been inspired by Enid Blyton's creation, and I'm also fairly sure that the latter never existed, then neither would Mr. Holder have acquired Noddy as a soubriquet. I think it is difficult to underestimate the influence Noddy had on English culture.
Also remember that Neil Oddy in "I bought a vampire motorcycle" was also nicknamed Noddy, although in this case the humorous nickname probably came first, and the justification "Neil Oddy" came after. Sorry, I don't know why I mentioned that. --Lias Bluestone (talk) 21:50, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
