My brother and a few of his friends called me "Stiny" for a while. That came from the Strong Bad email of the same name. We actually called each other Stiny, come to think of it, but I was outnumbered and got stuck with the nickname for a while.
My username is a nickname my best friend gave me.
A lot of people called me "Jackass" when I was like 12-13, because I did crazy stunts... like in Jackass.

Jesus, which came about by playing basketball, and which definitely had no correlation to my skill at playing basketball or to my looks. It lasted a surprisingly long time for a nickname which has no basis in anything
When I played baseball in high school I was given the nickname Eeyore because I sort of speak in a monotone and apparently sounded like Eeyore.
My name is Christopher but most people call me Chris...Though I have had a number of nicknames: White, Crispy Nipple, Chris Pickle, Lord Thundersocks (that one might have been me...) or Talis. There's a story behind most of them but none I'm going to bother telling
I've had few, but they're all dead now. Thank gods for that, too. I hate nicknames. Shortening my name is alright, just don't change it.
'You limey bastard'
Because I'm a limey bastard.
But seriously, my name is Allan, so my occasional nickname is Al. Obviously.
Because creativity is sorely lacking from my peers.

Back during my service (and still today in some occasions) I was referred to as Eki by my peers and squad (thanks to my yet-to-be-revealed last name), and as Sir by every other recruit.
Whenever us NCOs have our little gatherings, hearing them call me that is oddly refreshing. Makes me miss the missus too. Never had a misfire with her, not once.

I tend to compartmentalize groups of friends, and in most of them I don't have a nickname, but one particular group ended up calling me Kuma-san or Master Bear. I used to be really fat, but I've gotten that under control lately, so I'm significantly less bear-like nowadays, but the nickname stuck. I like it. 
Was called K2, started out because i was the second person with the same named K-surname, but on account of me being fat it was mutated into K2, the mountain (-_-*)
When i was blonded i was called Tintin and blondz....i'm starting to see pattern regarding lack of imagination for nicknames among teenageboys and gurrlz.
Now i'm mostly called my tag, or toffee....'Cause i'm just soooo damn sweet or somesuch nonsense.

I was "Paco" for most of my childhood. My middle name is Francis, which in Spanish is Francisco and that got shortened to Paco. How exactly that came about I can't say.
At my college (high school for you yanks), it was traditional for one to have two nicknames. You were known by your surname to the teachers and people who didn't know you well, by one of your nicknames to most of your friends, and by another to your very closest friends. For example, the majority of people either called me "Smith" or "Smithy". Only about five people were ever allowed to call me "Smudger".
Nowadays, I only ever get called by my first name.

I somehow got the nickname "Wolfbane" during a week at what could technically be called band camp. I honestly don't know how or why I got that name.
