This is a question 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.

I tried to give myself a cool nickname.
My name is Jozef. It's an unusual spelling of Joseph, my parents are very pretentious.

So when I went to Uni I tried to play off the fact it had a Z in it. I considered Zed, Zero, Zee ... even Zippy would have done.

I just couldn't do it though. I couldn't shake someone's hand, look them in the eye and say "Hello. My name's, um, Zero." So no cool nickname for me.
