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.

My best friend's nickname is Sushi, a mutilated version of her actual name, Anushka. From Anushka, she went to the short-lived Nushi, to finally Sushi, which stuck quite well.
There's Shorty Corty, who's a short girl who bears the name Cortezia, hence the added Corty.
I was referred to as Doc by a friend of mine, as part of an old conversation.
