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 name is Jozef. It's an unusual spelling of Joseph, my parents are very pretentious.
So when I went to Uni I tried to play off the fact it had a Z in it. I considered Zed, Zero, Zee ... even Zippy would have done.
I just couldn't do it though. I couldn't shake someone's hand, look them in the eye and say "Hello. My name's, um, Zero." So no cool nickname for me.
