[Robbie actually asks and it's...new. His friends decided his nickname for him, and he hated it at first. It was the the fondness in their voices as they said it that eventually sold it, as they came to care about him more and more. "Brainy" is the name the people he love gave him, ripped off and made into something separate from the title he's been burdened with since birth.]
[They still never asked if he wanted to be called "Brainy," though. No one ever asks what he wants to be called.]
[For a moment, he actually looks slightly overwhelmed by someone thinking to ask his preference. And then pleased in a way he tries to hide.]
Brainiac or Brainiac 5 is acceptable, but...Querl or Brainy are preferred. Equally.
[He does like them both better than Brainiac and he's fine with either.]
