Worst Nicknames Ever
Everyone 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.

why dave???
Well my real name is Pete, but one day one of my brothers mates decide I look like I should be called Dave.
So anyway my brother and his mates start calling me Dave all the time; at first I found this very annoying but the more I complained the more they did so I just let it go in an attempt to get them to stop.(You know "if you rise above it they will eventually stop" thing)
It didn't work.
So my brother and his mates called me Dave all the time wether I complained or not so I got used to it.
Then after a while my entire family start calling me Dave so now I'm stuck with it - it has got to the point that if someone calls me Pete I don't look around as I think they must mean someone else!
