You must have a very unusual surname or else I lack imagination.

Mr Magnolia

'buckets' because when he walks he looks like he's carrying buckets (swaying side to side)

Chesty, called him this for years before I knew why, because of bad asthma

His name is Petes Potatoface.

Not too hard to work out where his nickname came from, Greekboy.

condra

Greekboy? Always thought it was Latin myself.

One of my friends got the name 'scone' in school, its ridiculous really! We were finished school and standin outside the shop, and john at the time asked me to get him a packed of fruit pastilles as i was going in. Being the hilarious prankster that I was, I bought him a scone instead of fruit pastilles. He wasn't very impressed and threw the scone on the ground in anger, we all had a right laugh. 4 years on we still call him scone. Its such a stupid story, but amazing that the name stuck!

condra

just thought of more..

there was:

shovel hands
batman
mad eye
fat face

the story reminds me of being called "ribena fingers" - legend has it i once washed off some bodily fluids of a certain local girl, with ribena. this i do not remember..

Probably is but also:

Demetrius - A young man of Athens, initially in love with Hermia and ultimately in love with Helena. Demetrius’s obstinate pursuit of Hermia throws love out of balance among the quartet of Athenian youths and precludes a symmetrical two-couple arrangement.

and

Someone in a previous job who was called Vic, but never to his face. Was told it was because he got up everybodys nose.

Goodshape

Meathead comes to mind. the guys got a real big head and constant 'duh' expression.

I know three brothers who all got lumbered with the nickname 'Poochie'. No idea where it started but it can get confusing when they're all together.

I've got the unusually simple nickname of 'Bruce' (actual name being Michael) due to, at one stage or another, having a slight resembelence to Bruce Lee.

Funny how things stick.

threebeards

I know a guy called 2 Stroke. Legend has it that this has nothing whatsoever to do with engine oil
