Not imaginatively appropriate: a fraternity brother with surname of Hyman receiving the nickname "Buster."
Imaginatively appropriate: a person who traveled in our circles who had a big nose and who also liked to drink lots of beer. While we all knew how his nickname was pronounced, none of us were quite sure sure how his nickname was spelled, since both "Two-can" and "Toucan" were apropos.

Well, I'm going to do a farewell tour of upstate New York, hellholes like Plattsburgh. Fred Armisen as Gov. Paterson

I had a fraternity brother whose last name was Pappas. In time, this became Pap-a*s. Then Flap-a*s. Finally, just Flap.
I hate nicknames.
I've read Jane Austen
I think she would have liked Bukowski
Engineers are the plumbers of a civilization... Without them, the real point of human existence, great art, literature, theology and philosophy, is somewhat less likely to happen... So, hail to the engineers. But, let's be serious... use the service entrance.
When I played bouncyball as a freshman in HS, I was 5'6" 106lbs, so the team nicknamed me "Bones" as in skin-n-bones.

My brother's band was called the Buster Hyman band. They had to change it when no bar in town would put their name signs to advertise that they were playing.I suggest to a guy that he should make his rap name Busta Hymen.
This isn't about band names, but I've always thought Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys had a ring to it.
Given the passions aroused in people both pro and con, I'm a bit surprised no good nickname for 0webama has developed yet....
My personal favorite would be to take the Alfred E. Neuman "What, Me Worry?" poster and adjust it...there is a bit of a resemblence which you could see too if I could only figure out how to post the picture here....

my son's soccer team has a kid they call "soup"...took me a few weeks to figure out his last name is Campbell. I thought that was pretty good for a bunch of kids.
I believe in life, and I believe in love, but the world in which I live in keeps trying to prove me wrong.
A friend of mine has a son who's nickname is Critter. He's basically been called that, even by his parents, since birth (as in "He's a cute little critter").
One time, my friend was coaching his son and others on a peewee hockey team and was explaining to them that all hockey players have nicknames. After trying out a few of their own, some of the players made the comment, "But Critter needs a nickname, too."
Critter's in his 20's now. They still call him Critter. In fact, I have no idea what his real name is.
