I had a few from high school days.....
because of my first name "Colin" I sometimes got called "Colin Carpenter" (A character from some stupid australian comedy drama, who was a bit of a thick headed idiot).

A few were based around my surname "Nash"
- "Bangers and Mash" (originated some little british cartoon).
- "Flash" (as in Flash Gordon) I didn't get this much, but my older brother got this a bit when he had been through school (back then the "Flash" movie was released featuring music from "Queen").
- "Nashy" became my main nickname, I was pretty much ok with this one. I found out that if I mis-spelled it as "Nashi" it would mean a type of fruit "Nashi Pear".

When I got into network gaming I made up "Mad Nashy" as my online identity. It kinda fitted the reputation of a "crazy fruit" when in playing Quake1 - If I got a little bored, Id get out the axe and try to attack the winning player (usually sporting a rocket launcher), usually unsuccessful, but hell funny when they get offended at being whipped by a dude with the most useless weapon in the game! (I once had a friend scream obcenities from the other side of a usually quiet classroom because of this, he got sent outside for it too!)

I got called many others, but can't and don't want to remember them as I was virtually one of the biggest geeks in a small backwards country town.
