I know someone who is known as Fatal.
Nothing to do having a deadly reputation. He just chalked his name to play pool but there were 2 Alan's so being of a larger frame he put 'fat al' on the board.13 -

He had the other one removed when he was a kid!0 -

Mate whose surname is Hilton has always been called Paris
Seemed to be a high number of Jack's at my work gaff, I used to work on a team where there was quite a long hours demanding role done on just an 8 month basis, the boss said he could never be bothered to learn a new name every 8 months so just called whoever did the job Jack as that was the name of the first one who did it0 -

Because I'm really tall and skinny every used to call me Crouchie (no other reason as I look nothing like the bloke)
Used to go to a lot of England matches and even people who didnt know me would come up to me claiming I was Peter Crouch (a few blokes got on an Underground train with me once and tried to get me to sign their programme).
Funnily met the real Peter Crouch at Kings Cross a good few years ago, bloke is a lot taller than even me!!3 -
Mate of mine is known as "Length" which is not to do with how tall he is, but more to do with his middle stump.
Fella i work with is known as "JR" as his surname is Hartley9 -
I worked with a guy who everybody called 18 inches.
He had an industrial accident where a large lump of metal had fallen on his foot an mashed it. He had to have a large lump of it removed so basically he was left with a foot and a half.10 -
Paul Linger was known as Cloughie for his resemblance to Nigel Clough.
I know a guy called 'Arch'. I can't remember his real name but he's called Arch because when he was a teenager he was the only one of his group of friends who went to a particular school, Archbishop Tenison.
Lazy Daisy, NightMiere. No explanation needed.1 -
We had an installer who after one event was called chemifix.
He was installing a safe in a Post Office, he should have drilled into the floor about 10 inches and then dropped a test tube of chemicals into it, then drop the floor fixing bolt on top of it, smashing the test tube. After a couple of minutes this would have set with a tensile force of 5 Tonne. He dropped the test tube in and then the bolt, the hole wasn't deep enough, so he decided to drill the hole deeper. Needless to say he ended up with a drill stuck in the floor.5 - Sponsored links:

I used to be really shy as a kid, so when I was about 10/11 and moved from Bromley to the countryside I struggled to make friends so my parents decided to enroll me to the local U12 football team.
Unfortunately I wore my Charlton kit. Being so shy and having not revealed my name, I was given the nickname 'Redbus'. 4 years that bloody name stuck.23 -
You're lucky not to get a flag for "Unfortunately I wore my Charlton kit.". Think how lucky you were, you could have been called Fads, Mesh or Viglen.SurvivaloftheFittest said:I used to be really shy as a kid, so when I was about 10/11 and moved from Bromley to the countryside I struggled to make friends so my parents decided to enroll me to the local U12 football team.

Played football with a striker called Trigger - not because he was good in front of goal, he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. He had a cock the size of a horse
Fella I used to get the bus with had nicknames for loads of the regulars who got the same bus - a woman who used to stomp up and down the bus when she got on or off was called Boom Boom, a man who had most of one of his fingers ripped off in an accident was called Four & Half, another bloke who stank like he lived in a pub was called Beer & Fags
Worked with a fat bloke years and years ago who made the mistake of going to a fancy dress party as Charlie Chaplin - and was subsequently called Oddjob until he left
Bloke who used to drink in a pub I frequented in West Norwood was called Paddy Wakely, nickname was NikNak (as in paddy whack)1 -

I used to play for Blackheath Athletic, The Three Tonnes, The princess of Wales and The Crown in the earl;y 80's. We had a slightly overweight player called Phil and if he ran around too much he used to go a bit purple. Hence he became known as Purple Phil. My nickname at that time was Ridders coz of my family name.1

We had an inter-office 11-a-side football game. A new bloke started a week before and we need a couple of subs so we asked him if he wanted to play. He said he'd meet us there.
Anyway he doesn't show up for the first half where we're losing 2-nil. Then in the 59th minute he gets dropped off by his mum in a Wolves kit. Neither team is playing in those colours. He's also holding a few tins of Kingfisher cider. He stands by our goal and starts cheering us on. Over the next 20 minutes we pull level. Coming to the last 5 minutes a defender pulls a hamstring and points to him "New man, you're on," as he hobbles off the pitch. New man sparks up a ciggie. "Give me two minutes".
Anyway we get a corner down their end and give away possession. New man drops his ciggie, downs his second can of cider and legs it up the field, intercepts the oncoming forward at the halfway line then absolutely leathers it. It goes high then starts dropping. Their keeper cannot believe it and starts rushing back to the goal-line. He leaps up and waves pointlessly at the ball as it flies just under the crossbar and into the net. We go mental. Hardly anyone knew this guys name. Someone knew his name and started chanting "Jim! Jim! Jim!" and everyone joins in. We win the match and he's lifted off the pitch in celebration whilst chanting his name "Jim! Jim Jim!"
His name was Tim.25 -
My all time favourite was a bald bloke I used to work with. He was known as 'mudguard' because he was all shiny on top, but full of sh#t underneath.12
