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.

Tenuous
A lad I used to go to college with had the nick name of Cocker. One day I asked him why he was called Cocker, asking if he was a big Pulp fan, whether there was some strange sex story or something like that.
But no, apparently when he was a secondary school someone decided he should have a nick name. His actual name was Daniel, which rhymes with spaniel.
