Well,
At school there was a kid in my year who some people called Kidney Head because, apparently, his head was shaped like a kidney. Not that i could see the resemblance myself.

There was also The Running Man, a very geeky younger kid who always seemed to be running everywhere. And a kid we called Egg, because he was partiularly rotund and stocky.

And a guy called Doggy, because of it's similarity to his first name (hint: Magic Roundabout)

Here at Uni, we have The Power, because he shares his name with the darts player of the same nickname. It's particularly ironic.

Also at school, we had a kid with big, plastic-framed geeky glasses. And he was called Joe. Logical step forward is of course Joe 90...

The best/worst, however you decide to look at it, is Desperado. This nickname was given to a kid in our year, who also lives in my town so we got the same bus. He had a 'habit' of becoming a bit obsessed with girls he fancied, and trying as hard as he could to impress them. He really fancied a girl on the bus, and me and my mate formulated a plan for him to use to impress her. The plan went thus:

We would say loudly "where's [name]?" and he would come down the bus stairs then commando roll off the bottom one to make him look cool. He was right up for this, but me and my mate knew he'd look absolutely ridiculous. However, we hadn't prepared for what actually happend...

We asked where he was, and heard him walking down the stairs. But the bus braked sharply and threw him down the stairs so he fell out in a heap instead of the super-slick shoulder roll. Then, clearly winded, he stands up and forms his hands into the childish gun shape. Everybody laughed at him, he'd made even more of a fool of himself than we could have ever imagined. So we called him Desperado (from desperate and bandit, basically).
