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.

Parents can be needlessly cruel.....
My fiancee's brother was terribly named by his parents: Richard Edward ********
First time I heard this, my mind immediately decided that 'Dick Ed' was the only name I could think of.
Somehow the nickname never really seemed to get into general usage, but to me he is always Dick Ed.
(he also posts on here sometimes, wonder if he'll notice this)
