"Spider"

My college buddies call me that because back then I was shy around the ladies so when we went to parties I would stick to walls like Spider-Man so it eventually became spider


"Sabi"

A nickname from m oldest friend in the world.


"Mr. Tasty" - What my old lady calls her second favorite part of me, I am sure her favorite part is my wallet. :)
 
Bo after Bo Jackson because I played Baseball and Football growing up.

Baby Shaq through middle school because I was the first kid with Shaqnosis and I was hella tall.
 
Chris (Short for Christopher.)
Cruz

People online call me Judder instead of Judderman.

My height has led me to be called:

Big Man
Big Guy
Lurch
The Jolly Green Giant
Big Country (Got this one last weekend.)
 
Being fat has given me:

- Santa Claus
- Barrel
- Elephant

And more common ones that led me to my social anxiety. It's not nice to call people by these kind of nicknames, it sucks and makes you believe that no one appreciates you. :'(
 
At one retail job I where I had to wear an apron, I was called "Pockets" because I always had candy in one of the apron pouches.
 
I really dislike nicknames but I'm a person that while physically plain look has lots of quirks that have made people give me nicknames. None of them making any sense whatsoever.

Those are

Chu
Pollo
Pollo Prieto
Hansolo
Manito
Elhansel
 
The Pro (CS 1.6 days)
Honey Combs (Gangster elementary school phase)
Lobster (Favourite Seafood)
Dolphin (Rugby nickname)
Pirate/Buccaneer (Due to cultural heritage)

These are some of my nicknames, the others are pretty annoying and I hate them.
 
Only complimentary?

Indiana (also, Indiana Jones, Jones, or Indy) - because I wear a wide-brimmed australian leather hat in cold weather that actually doesn't look like the characters hat lol. It's just the first thing everyone says when they see it.

Otherwise nothing. I'm pretty average and don't stand out for anything I guess.
 
Howard (From my high school football coach, not even close to my real name)
Fast (Slowest pitcher on my baseball team)
Beans (Old job, Hispanic background)
Nugget (New job, don't even know why)
 
Old but still used:
Bobo
Boris
Pooky(Not used)

New and hated:
Floyd(because of a cup in front of me on the table in class from some guy who got Starbucks and didn't take their shit. I hate that guy now.)
 
DK and donkey kong. Everyone called me jesus in high school because of the long hair and beard. I was a pretty laid back dude.

These days it's either dk, asshole or my real name.
 
I've had soo many freaking nicknames (namely from random shit I've done) that it's ridiculous. From Cricket because I hopped over people during wrestling, to being called pooh by my family, to SG for randomly bringing up super gonorrhea to a group of people after reading about it on GAF. I'm never bothered by them, though, even those that some think are pretty bad

Usual:
JC

Playing around:
Juan Camanay.... I don't know what the hell that's in reference to.
John Charlie

Little kids:
Cabu

Because of how I carry myself at work I'm sometimes referred to as "Boss"

Oh, yes and "Juan Solo"... that was meant as a double entendre.
 
In high school some people called me Federov (loosely similar to my last name and because I knew a lot about hockey).

In college there was 'old timer' (mainly because one night some guy we didn't know said it to me and my friends thought it was hysterical and it stuck).
 
Zel is my real-life nickname. It was given to me because of Zelgadis from Slayers, my favorite character from the show.

Which is why I use the name online as well.
 
I have a decent amount, thanks in part to my last name. Some are better than others.

A sampling of the better ones:
Daveo
Haagen-Dazs
Davie (by my grandparents)
Birkenstock (misheard my last name)
Bob Dole
Dagwood
Owl Bear
Hermit
Hobo Daveo
 
My name is kind of difficult to shorthand (Arran), so I haven't received too many nicknames over the years. Except for people trying to say ARRRR like a pirate.

But the few I have had or are still used:

A-ron
Hollow - I've had people call me that in real life since my moniker has become synonymous with me.
Gubz - Me and my best friend went through a Dolan meme phase. Gooby got shortened to 'Gubz' and that's what she messages me with haha.
Allan/Alan - Some of my Japanese/Korean friends called me this ironically, poking fun at the Engrish running joke since 'L' & 'R' are an alveolar consonant in Japanese.
I've also had all manners of silly cutesy pet names from girlfriends that make you cringe when you think back to them.
 
Bruce Fwaaa

First day of boarding school, I was 13. A bunch of other kids were trying to guess my name. They knew it was 5 letters long and started with a B. Had various suggestions of Boris, Betsy, Betty etc. Then someone said Bruce, and at the same time, a kid called Raj was looking into a mirror, and went "Fwaaa!" impersonating Bruce Lee. The name stuck. The school also misunderstood my application form and was under the impression I was French. They thought I came from Paris, but in actual fact it was the Welsh county of Powys that they had never heard of, so assumed it was a typo.
 
The Chin (I have no idea why)
Harry Potter (not so much a nickname as an insult, people used to call me it during secondary school thanks to my dark hair, glasses and the scar on my forehead)
Addy
Adz
Adam DeMamp
Zimb (shortening of one of my old usernames, only used by people I know thanks to the internet)
Jim (also only used by people I know from online shit, I was the second Adam in the group so someone took the initiative of referring to me as Jim for convenience, it sort of stuck)
 
Matt Matt (Because all of the names given to me were first names), plus it was the era of Matthews so...
Peanut (because I was always the shortest on my football (and soccer) team.
 
I was called Hulk in Jr. High because I was on the bigger side of the spectrum. People meant it with good intentions, though, which was kinda cool I reckon.

Nowadays people just call me Alfie.

Wow... lol
 
I actually got Culebra when I was in middle school for translating Sarah Conner in T2 for my friends. "Siempre como culebra" was the line.

Changed my game moniker from the lame Ace to Culebra (or Cule if the full thing didn't fit)

Joined a band and did a bunch of local shows under the same nickname, so at this point if you shouted Culebra out in public, I'd respond as if you called my actual name.
