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.

One called Stocky - never knew his real name. He was stocky.
One called Ging - He was ginger. A few years later I found out his name was John.
One called Pixie. His surname was Picksley, so it just worked.
A mate called Jimbo, named after Jimbo and the jetset.
Never had many nicknames myself. None that I'd like to repeat anyway.
