Snooki has grown tired of her Jersey Shore moniker and would like to go back to Nicole, thankyouverymuch. Perhaps this should be seen as an evolution of sorts – maybe she’s growing up?

While promoting her book – A Shore Thing – Snooks told reporters what she’d like to change in the coming year.

“I miss my real name,” the New York-native, who is credited as Nicole Snooki Polizzi on her novel, A Shore Thingtold the AP. “I miss people calling me Nicole.”

So should we start calling the published author and artist formally known as Snooki, Nicole?

I don’t know how I feel about that. Would Snooki still have all her fame if she was simply “Nicole“?
