Am I the only one who doesn't want to be called a "Skeptic"?

I mean, it's not like I don't fit the bill, I totally am a skeptic. However, sometimes I feel like "Skeptic" can take on the connotation of rebelliousness. As in, some times the word comes across to me, as like that four year old who has to question everything, meaning like that person who plays the "Why?" game, and says "Why?" to every answer you give after the original question is proposed.
Louis CK is where I get the example from:

However, getting back on topic, something about the word appears to give this negative connotation, and I don't know why. It's the same thing with "Atheist", although I fit the description, I would rather not be labeled as it because of the connotation and attributes that come with it. I mean in reality, these connotations aren't what the word means, but it doesn't really matter, as people make inferences either way.
What are your thoughts?

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
