‘Slick Bill Byron’ nickname that he thought was for Byron didn’t really work because it didn’t have much meaning behind it. Bowman admitted that he just thought it sounded cool. Instead, the nickname “Baby Face Assassin” became more popular among fans and teammates. The term “Baby Face Assassin” suits William Byron well because he looks young and innocent but is very competitive on the track.
