Used to have a work colleague who everyone called 'HS204', could never decipher the origins of the nickname no wonder whom I asked and even his own siblings referred to him as thus.

I have a friend Christina who's nickname is Crimbo. It came from a work colleague mishearing her name. Don't quite know how he got Crimbo but he did so it stuck for the past 15 years!

We had a friend named - Toothy McSh1tFace. A man as handsome as he was thrilled by his nickname.

I grew up with lads called Mutt Callaghan, Eddie Fat Fingers, Moose, Robbie the Beast, Gerry from Derry, and they are just ones off the top of my head. I'll try to remember some of the more interesting ones.

I was on a stag do a few years back and was introduced to another fella that I didn't know. He says to me, "Hi, my name's Dave, but everyone calls me 'Dave the Rave'".

I spent the rest of the weekend avoiding him like the plague.

Cant say I blame you.
Did you introduce yourself as El Weirdo?

Tigger · 13-02-2016 09:24PM

I'm called Tigger cos i was a bouncer; about 20 years ago

Gremlinertia · 13-02-2016 09:25PM

Know a guy called bungalow, it's because he has nothing upstairs but weirdly that's how he introduces himself. Proud of it thus proving the point i guess.

God no.

I am called Weirdo by some friends on the odd occasion, but I would *never* introduce myself as such.

Ginger guy I used to work with who was thick as a plank, his nickname was Simple Red.

recylingbin · 13-02-2016 09:35PM

C3PO - because he has high levels of iron in his blood.

Bongalongherb · 13-02-2016 09:40PM

I knew a guy on a computer course before and his name was hector but he only talked about the weather every day, so he got the nick-name hectopascal

If you were to work in the film industry , you could be called special half -X.

I knew a guy everyone called Murph, despite the fact that his name wasn't Murphy, or anything like it. I could never find out why.

LDN_Irish · 13-02-2016 09:50PM

A friend of a friend is nearly 30 and is called Lights because he had lights on his schoolbag. In first year.

jake66 · 13-02-2016 10:06PM

I work with two guys with the same name.
One lad is fond of a few drinks is Pickled Mick
The other is a bit narky is Bitter Mick.
Another is called Lassie cause he,d nearly talk to you..
We also have Dirty Neck, Citrus Cliterous, Vinegar Tits, and The Flat Battery (dont know where that came from)

Nodster · 13-02-2016 10:24PM

Neither unusual or surreal, but.....
I worked with two Mick's, terrible confusion whenever the boss phoned for Mick to drop up to the office. The boss, who had a sense of humour christened the newer one Mickrick - problem solved

**** in the bath.

I remember being told that at a GAA match in some young lad was being called chilli by everyone attending the match and a stranger at the end of the game asked "Why is he called chilli?". "Oh' thats' Con Carney's young lad" was the explanation.
