@Rachellover: I don't particularly want to prove anything in this regard; my intention is merely to make sure that the current theory is rooted in what we know before anything else.

Indeed, SIU uses different words there, but it isn't "merely" nickname, when it's connotation is apparently closer to sobriquet, than the word SIU uses for sobriquet. This only reinforces the uncertainty in my opinion, which is why I would like to compare it to Pedro's case. If these cases rely on the same word, then we can safely say that it was never sobriquet with the Tower's meaning.

You make a distinction between Sobriquet and mere nickname, and I agree, but--while this is the connotation in the Tower--the language to express these two terms suggests the prestige / value of these terms is exactly opposite to this; at least this is the case for Enryu's post. If we can find at least one more use of 별명 by SIU, we should be able to determine for sure whether 'Guardian Murderer' was Enryu's original sobriquet, or whether it's merely a nickname. Looking through the original takes a lot of time that I don't have these days, so we might actually find out the necessary information on Enryu from the story before I get to it.
