Re: Best nicknames

Following on from another conversation elsewhere on the forum, what are the most innovative and funny nicknames you’ve heard over the years?

I heard of a Welsh bloke called Dai Eighteen Months because he'd lost half an ear....

There’s some real crackers in here

My nickname growing up was Sydney (Syd) purely because my Nan brought me a T-shirt with Sydney on it back from Australia. Simple ones are the best haha

I grew up with a lad who had a terrible toileting accident when we were about 6, in school. He was forever known as 'Shitty Darren' Harsh.

We had quite a lot of people from overseas at my last job, including two Spaniards called Juan. One was Juan and the other was Juan 2.

Work with someone who's surname is King...
Hence why we call him Juan

Re: Best nicknames

We had a bloke in our darts team who had his ear pierced about 6 or 7 times (not by darts - for earrings)
His ear looked like a curtain rail, so we called him "Swish"

Re: Best nicknames

I don't know whether it's just my kids' school, but they don't seem to bother with nicknames any more. Virtually everyone had a nickname in my day - Donk, Ghostie, Yosser, Fritz, Beano, Sheep, Pidge, Egon, Flash, Dopey, Bun'ead...
Young people today!
