Worst Nicknames EverEveryone 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.

Pebbles and Bam BamOne of my mates is called Pebbles, because she tripped over a minute stone on a Duke of Edinburgh's expedition and fell a long way down a hill. The name stuck.
At a slightly later point, she started going out with this huge hulk of a lad (was about six foot two at the age of 15, and not exactly scrawny). He automatically became Bam Bam. They've split up now, but the nicknames remain.
