Darts star Justin Hood has revealed that he may have a third different nickname in a matter of months. The world number 46 enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2025, competing under the nickname ‘Happy Feet’.Justin Hood could need another new nicknameGettyA new identityHowever, the 33-year-old was recently forced to dispense with that moniker amid a copyright dispute.Hood adopted ‘Happy Feet’ after once forgetting his shoes at a darts event and having to borrow a pair far too large for him.But Warner Bros, who own the rights to the animated film of the same name, stepped in to tell Hood he could no longer use it.“Warner Bros. got hold of Target [his sponsor], so I’ve heard, and said we can’t have it because obviously they’ve got the rights to the film,” Hood explained to Oche180.The Somerset-based player, who reached the quarter-finals on his PDC World Championship debut last year, has since changed his nickname to ‘Pocket Rocket’ – but that has created its own issues due to certain connotations surround the term.While ‘pocket rocket’ is widely used to refer to a small but energetic person – an apt description of the five-foot-four Hood – in the UK, it carries another meaning altogether in American slang.“I’ve been told what ‘pocket rocket’ means in America now and I might have to change it again because it’s a bit dirty,” Hood said.While he may well have to get creative for the time being, he hopes that he’ll be able to be known as ‘Happy Feet’ again one day.“It’s nice and not nice,” he said. “Nicknames are not something you come up with yourself. It’s what people call you and I’ve always been ‘Happy Feet’ and I always will be.“So hopefully in the next three or four years, we’ll go back to that – but at the moment, we’re going with ‘Pocket Rocket’.”Hood enjoyed a memorable run to the last eight at his first World ChampionshipGettyHood’s Chinese dreamHood has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the upper echelons of darts, winning hearts with his superb performances and infectious personality – including his dream of opening a Chinese takeaway.Speaking after reaching the World Championship quarter-finals and guaranteeing £100,000 in prize money, Hood felt the dream could become a reality, having asked the crowd following his last-16 win over Josh Rock, “Who wants a Chinese?”“I think we’re there now,” he said at the time. “I don’t think I’ve got a choice in that. I think we’re there now.“I haven’t got a timeline yet, but you’ve got to pay double! But we’ll be looking into it after the Worlds has finished and go from there.”Appearing on talkSPORT’s Around the Clock earlier this year, Hood was asked if he’d consider giving up Chinese food if it meant he would become world champion.“No chance,” he replied.“Don’t care [about the £1m prize money for winning the World Championship]. I can earn money elsewhere. I can get a job and earn money; I don’t care about that.“Chinese food is life.”
