Played in a poor Sunday league team many years ago with a bloke whose last name was Twelvetree. His disciplinary record wasn't great, his nickname was Tenmen.3

Chap on my uni course only ever wore polo neck jumpers, his name was Paul so for the full 3 years he was only ever known as Paul O'Neck (to this day I don't know his real surname)9

We had a teacher at school who called every student Master and he had an accent that led him to pronounce the 'a' like in 'cat' rather than like in 'day.' He had this habit (and accent) for every class but we did actually have a kid called Bates in our class.Essex_Al said:Used to work with a bloke named Bates, everyone used to call him Master!

They are not too bad. Better than being called 'University of Greenwich' for four years.AddicksAddict 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. 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.
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.0 -
There was a tubby lad at school nicknamed Jack. Getting changed after cross country running, his face would be red from exertion, his top half a pasty white and his legs blue from the cold.
Red, white and blue = Union Jack.4 -
Not from my personal knowledge but I heard somewhere that there was a guy who had a very big limp because one leg was considerably shorter than the other. His colleagues called him “snipers nightmare”2

We had a mate who from a combination of wearing tshirts on holiday, then a vest one day he got sunburnt, was brown up to his elbows, red to his shoulders, and then has a white chest.BFG94 said:There was a tubby lad at school nicknamed Jack.

Got called Neapolitan by everyone at the hotel bar etc all holiday.4 -
Five years ago a new colleague joined the team at work. Being new and in his first proper job he was of course encouraged to ask questions.
One day he suddenly stood up from his desk and asked three of us opposite “what’s a twam? which resulted in us bursting out laughing.
It turned out a director had made a typo in a spreadsheet and the word should have been “team”.
He was known as Twam for quite a while. He eventually progressed in the team and wanted it to stop as it was associated with his naivety early on in his career.2 -
Someone who worked at my office was caught coming out of the toilet without washing his hands about 12 years ago, and is still known as "bum hands"

There was a girl at my school whose nickname was Isiah - she had a condition that meant her head was slightly tilted and one eye was higher than the other.7

We had a guy called ‘ no nickname’ because he didn’t want one.2

My mate had a work colleague they used to call Johnny Coldhands because he always walked about with his hands in his pockets3
-
My first job there was a lad called Lionel or as it ended up Urinal Lionel.0
-
Had a mate who always did everything very slowly and deliberately who was known as Johnny Onespeed.0

There was a fella I used to know as Mark up the pub who his mates would refer to as "Parker", so I assumed his name was Mark Parker. Found out years later it was nothing of the sort, he'd been the first one to get a car and used to ferry the others about, although none of them looked like Lady Penelope unfortunately.
Another mate had a perm about 40 years ago, but is still known universally as Poodle.
