I have 3 (offical ones, not pure insults) depending on where you know me from, it's been entertaining over the years as mixed groups of friends discover I have more than one, but in all honesty I like my given name.

I knew a bloke who joined two separate motorcycle clubs.
Independently, they both nicknamed him 'Death Wish'.
This didn't seem to bother him, which I suppose said it all, really.
A friend is known by all as "the daddy". He's as wide as he is tall, a fine front row player and well known doorman. I don't know anyone else who could pull a nickname like that off, but it's the best I know of.
The only one I've ever had not derived from my family name was "Shoe".
This thread reminds me of a regrettable former colleague who was nicknamed "Vimto".

Some more people I know...
Neon - Cause he once proudly declared he was 6 foot exactly. And he is a tube of a man...
10 to 2 - Cause when standing up straight his toes point out the way.
Bungalow Bill - He bought the first bungalow in the town, about 30 years ago...
Loads more when I have time.
federalski - MemberOne that always pleases me.
Mate worked with someone called Wayne Bruce.
He was called Manbat.

One of my mates when I did my apprenticeship was know as "B.U.F.F" It was also the nickname of the B-52...
Also had a mate at Uni who arrived complete with new nickname "Stacko", all became a bit embarrassing when we discovered a mate of his was also at Uni with us and said he had never heard it in all the 15 years he'd known the bloke.
