Nicknames that are just plain ridiculous

Mr Viking · 05-02-2014 05:49PM #1

I have come across a number of people over the years that have nicknames and its often got me wondering as to the origin of these names. Some of the reasons for labelling people with these names that are routinely used more commonly than there can be very obscure. I know of one guy called Rat, merely because when he was six he pestered his parents for a pet rat which they eventually gave in and bought him. The poor git is now in his 30's and it seems he will get Rat till his dying day. Does anyone know of any other poor sods landed with a nickname from hell?

I grew up with a fella called "Farto", you can probably guess why!

Are you Mr Viking of the Ballymore Eustace Vikings?

Guy I was in the navy with once casually mentioned that rather than eat quickly he liked to just peck at his food.
Had the nickname "Pecker" for the next 3 years

One and the same my friend!

How about "Dog-Shíte Lynch?

My friends father was telling us one day about a fella they knew in Palmerstown in Dublin and that was his nickname. He's still called it to this day.

Sickener!

A friend of mine is known as The Elite because he's a qualified accountant.
He was originally referred to as the elite of society by one lad who had a hard on for anyone who was able to pass the exams he kept failing himself.

My best mate is called fat dick, he isnt fat & his name isnt Richard. Whats odd about it is his parents also call him fat dick

Best nickname story ever:

rawn · 05-02-2014 06:00PM

I know a Peter that everyone calls Eddie. No one knows why, not even him

uch · 05-02-2014 06:01PM

Also have a mate Called "Gee", he was called this since he way a youngfella because he had a split/Hair Parting up the middle of his head

Cienciano · 05-02-2014 06:03PM

There was a post on this before. Someone said their friend was chinese and carried a bit of weight, so his nickname was Fat Asian

Nodin · 05-02-2014 06:05PM

Fella whose real name was Alex. He was given the name "pox bottle" and it stuck. The closest I ever got to an explanation was 'because he is one'. Nice guy though, as was his older brother.

Sometimes nicknames just stick. I had a ridiculous one from the age of 9 to about 18 when I left school.

Personal, I hate the ones ending in "-zza" or "-o" (Johno, Deco, Kevo...)

You would have hated to be in Skango's shoes then.

Heard a few great ones, but one of my Scottish mates is nicknamed Paedo Dave, which often needs explaining, but to the best of my knowledge he isn't actually a paedophile.

I know of a girl who earned the name dog sh*t because she kneeled in dog sh*t when she was giving some lad a bj in the middle of a field

"This is my mate Keith, but everyone calls him Bobby, long story...."

Sir Arthur Daley · 05-02-2014 06:19PM

There was a girl in school we used call her hoover because she was a dinger at blowjobs.

Muff Richardson · 05-02-2014 06:23PM

Have a good pal with the surname Kerr, at some point in our teens, and very maturely I may add, we started calling him Wan. He's been called Wan for the last 20 odd years and it has stuck solidly.... friends, family and his now fiancé all call him Wan.

LenaClaire · 05-02-2014 06:27PM

When I was in school there were two girls with the same name. On the first day, one of them was wearing a shirt that said Belgium on it, so for the rest of the time as school everyone called her Belgium.

Ihatecuddles · 05-02-2014 06:35PM

My fiancé is Dangles, because there's a guy that lives near him who has the same real name and only has one testicle.

ManOnFire · 05-02-2014 06:37PM

Fella i know and his nickname is cockarse, just randomly stuck with him and even developed into stuff like dont be a cockarse , stop acting the cockarse etc

TheDoc · 05-02-2014 06:40PM

Friends always called me Danny for aslong as I can remember.

Due to some football exploits I temporarily got the name "pippo" (football fans will get it) but after my somewhat horrid addiction to energy drinks emerged, I've been labelled now the past few weeks as "Monster". And it has very much stuck..for better or worse:(

funk-you · 05-02-2014 07:22PM

It's rare any of my mates would be called by their real names. Some of the ones that stand out are:

Fat-Rash
Shitty
Sweat-Wallet
Copperballs
Onion (Because he's round and his smell makes people cry)

Lovely bunch of lads.

I once knew a lad and his nickname was digit. He was called digit because when he was in bed with a girl he'd always ask her to stick their index finger up his bum!

myshirt · 05-02-2014 08:01PM

One chap nicknamed 'Curry Shorts'

No prizes for guessing why.

joe stodge · 05-02-2014 08:17PM

I once knew a lad called goblin arse for no reason what so ever.

aknitter · 06-02-2014 04:45PM

My father works with a guy called Sally, no idea where it came from or why.

There is also a Smelly....guys of great imagination at my Dads workplace!!

uch · 06-02-2014 04:48PM

Worked with a fella in the Council years ago and everyone knew him as Number 7, because he was as stubborn as a mule

Nicknames that are just plain ridiculous
