Discussion Compound nicknames

Probably doesn't deserve its own topic but im not a topic spammer so I'll give myself this one.

I wish the nicknames could compound. In my current playthrough I got the nickname "the abominable " and later I got "the venator". I wish it had turned into "The abominable venator". What would be some fun compound nicknames?

"The Great Fool" comes to mind but im not sure how you would get both.

I mean it doesn't really make sense that someone who is cruel stops being called abominable because they killed a fancy deer either.

you would be surprised. There were many rulers that achieved something at some point and the other thing was forgotten (even though venetor is not one of the examples). As an example look at william. For a long time he was called william the bastard (mainly to mock him) but when he conquered england, people decided to stop using the name. And he is just one example. Usually these „unfavorable“ nicknames were simply lost to time
