Worst Nicknames EverEveryone wants a cool nickname like "Ace", "Boss", or "Iron". Kids being kids, that's not what we get - the kid with polio gets called Johnny Spazm, your Ginger Fuhrer was called Rob Man-you-smell and your question master was "Tommy" Trinder despite him being dead for years.
Tell us the worst you've heard and the stories behind them.

Donny, Jim, Beans and BalloonsBack in the days when I used to get a bus back from school, a couple of us came to the conclusion that our chum Ben (who happened to be the son of the headmaster, but was still friendly with a decent sense of humor) bore a very striking resemblance to Donny Osmond.
This was about two years ago now, and to the best of my knowledge his sisters and mother are still calling him Donny, much to his annoyance
Another mate from school was called Dave but, being the legendary wierdo he was, decided he'd rather adopt the name Jim Fish. Very few of us call him Dave these days, he's always either Jim or Jim/Dave.
One of the chaps who lives down my corridor calls me "Dan the Man with the Baked Bean Can!" when he's drunk. He once went out and got me a tin of beans to make his drunken nickname fit.
Some poor chinese boy who used to live down the road from us was called 'Balloon Child' by me and my mum beacuse of the shape of his head. To this day we have no idea what his real name is.
True stories. [obligatory length comment. Heh heh, length]
