Nicknames

[Russ]

What's the daftest or most original nickname you've heard of or ever had?

I used to work with a guy called William Williams - we called him Billy Twice.

[Mr_love_monkey]

A guy in our Glasgow office, is called Iain, but he's referred to as 'Eeky' - why? - because one of the other guys there used to work with someone else in another office - who was called Iain, but his nickname was 'Eeky' so as a result anyone called Iain is now usually referred to as 'Eeky'...

Maybe it's a Scottish thing

[STONEISLAND]

My initials are BJ and I had a mate that use to call me.........

Blow Job very childish I know.

but no one calls me that since I reached adulthood.

Thank God

And no jokes from you guys

[Paul M]

I was known as "telecom" (or "tele") for years locally, probably still am to some people.

[Wolf]

i came back to the UK after being in South Africa and had to do my GCSEs from age 16 so needless to say i was more developed than the others. When getting changed one day for PE a m8 started howling at me cause i had a hairy chest. From that day on i was called Wolf. Even in general chatting i was referred to by that name.

A friend in works name is Mike but often we call him Moke.....haven't a clue why.

[Russ]

A bit like a girl I once worked with who was called Bev - we'd call her Bov

[skyblueheroes]

Keeno as its a take on my surname.

A friends surname is Miller, so he gets called Windy. Similary I have a friend with a surname of Griffin who gets called Griff. People occasionally use his first name, which throws me as I've used Griff for years.

[Millay]

Im always called Millay (its the way to prounounce my surname) only customers, familly and girlfriends call em by my first name.

My latest nickname is Lord Rickay, since shortend to Rickets.

Id be worried if everyone started calling me Andy

[ikthius]

there is a guy in my work, who just floats about and is whiter than white, his nickname is ghosty

ik

the weirdest was a nickname I got in primary school, I had sticky out ears as a kid and I got called everything earso, big ears, scottish cup, but the best......and I had to laugh, as people can be thick was....... world cup!

[Stuart]

Well, one person who used to work with us earned the nickname "gimpy". Not quite sure how (and TBH. I don't want to know).

Another bloke was called "Rentboy" because the first four letters of his surname were Rent.

Another guy at work has earned the nickname "Welsh" because he went to a boarding school in North Wales (BTW, he is English).

I used to work for a friend called Andy.

Then another guy joined up, also called Andy, but since "there could be only one! ) and the second Andy had a very floppy sort of haircut, he got tagged with Tracy because "he looked like a Tracy"!

[punky]

A girl in the flat about me in Halls of Residence we called Dave. Because she was as smart as Trigger, and looked like Rodney, so as Trigger always calls Rodney, Dave (In Only Fools And Horses), we called her Dave.

I used to work with an Iain too, he ended up being called Cyclops. As you would expect people always spelt his name with one I and on one occaasion he said, "I've got two eyes, im not a Cyclops"
