@Rachellover: The problem with this distinction is that sobriquet can just as easily be translated as nickname and vice versa. Yet we know that some nicknames are a sign of a High Ranker (i.e., sobriquet), while others are just a sign of the person being notorious for something (i.e., nickname). Note: We know that there are High Rankers with multiple sobriquets, so that wouldn't be an issue, even if one of them came out of use for some reason.

Still, this is yet another very plausible theory that, nonetheless, requires the additional assumption of "it's an unofficial nickname", because nicknames of High Rankers are commonly treated as sobriquets. And this makes it lose when it comes to Occam's razor. I actually believe this would be the best explanation, but we cannot properly defend it at this time; we need more information and clarifications.
