"Borrowed" these ones from the Internet, but our boss has 2 nicknames. Pothole, because we all try to avoid him, and The Paramedic, because he turns up, stitches everyone up, then disappears.
Bloke at the golf club regularly drops out of four balls at the last minute - he’s known as ‘Bareback’ as he’s always pulling out. Another notorious cheat at the club is known as ‘Sat Nav’ as he always manages to locate seemingly lost balls.
I once worked with 2 guys - both called Ian Johnson...except one was Scottish so his first name was spelt in the Scottish way - Iain..so we nicknamed the English guy "one eyed Johnson".
A few from me. One of our 5-a-side group, a friend of a friend, is known as Sharky. I asked my friend why - he said that, on a lads holiday 30 years ago, the guy came past swimming on his back. Someone commented that his large nose looked like a shark's fin and he has been Sharky ever since.
One of the professional staff where I worked in the 1980s was known as "Wing-Commander" by the general office staff, because of his dapper moustache. Which was fine, until a new girl went into his office and addressed him as such!
Someone else I worked with was named John and his surname started with B, so I dubbed him "Sloop" and that stuck.
Once knew someone who got called OneLung back in 93 as a combination of asthma and chest infection led to a vicious coughing fit in the office and someone shouted out ‘fuck me, one of his lungs just flew past my head’
Mate of mine was called Trunky by his Mrs.... I'll leave you to work that out.
I had a few nicknames at school, Soupdragon, Rod and Hermit.
Bumped into Peter Robson nickname was "Pop" at the Valley around 2007/8 and he yelled out Oi Hermit.... hadn't heard that for 40 odd years.
Soupdragon and Hermit were from my teen fishing days holed up in my tent living off of nothing but soup.
Rod was because one fella thought I looked like Rod Stewart... unfortunately he wasn't the only one who thought it. I got followed around Brick lane market by some girls until one asked me to sign an autograph. Never could see it myself.
There is a well known vagrant who menaces the people of Chatham high street by approaching with insane eyes and a toothy smile (toothy soon to become tooth smile) asking to borrow a "pand bruv" his name is Billy Deo and was christened Billy the Quid in the early 2000s as he sunk into the heroin caused hole of sadness and depravity.
Anyone who knows who I am talking about may or may not be shocked to know 25 years ago he was a massive man, actually quite an intimidating figure with a lot of stories to tell who has lived through some trauma that in time got the better of him and made him the wretched abomination he is today and has been for 20 years. His story reminds me of Gollum

Similar story, worked with a girl called Karin once (Charlton fan might even be on CL). She was known as Karin with one i.

Got up your nose for 8 hours and stayed there''
Think I know this bloke, was a director of Printing firm in South London.
