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.

Back in the day, the nickname given to me by my primary school 'chums' was Woody. It derived from Woody Woodpecker, as my first name ends in 'ecca' and was therefore a truly poetic rhyme and hilarious.
To them.
In more recent times, my newly shortened first name now has the initial B. And my surname J. BJ. Previously known as Woody. Marvellous. In the software company I used to work, this too provided endless hilarity.
To them.
Most recently I've been called Mrs Rovka, which I quite like as it gives me a sense of 'I have friends! These people like me enough to give me a nice nickname!' And it comes from booze, a yummy cinnamonny Czech (I think) spirit called Becherovka, (from Becherovka to Becky Rovka is but a simple leap) so all the better and no link at all to genitals of any kind.
Fabulous.
