I was Burtle at school (a play on my surname - Burton), which gradually evolved into Turtle. At university, I was nicknamed Wench by the fencing club. (Leading to hilarious shouts of "Oi! Wench! We're leaving!" across various pubs on nights out.)

I'm either called Nick because my name is Nicholas or Rudy because my last name is Ruedy and I played football last year.

The Dark Knight, because my last name is Knight and that was about time the movie came out.
With my first name being Justice, I was often called the Justice League and "Just Ice".
My friends are a black hole for creativity.

My friends call me Ad, because they're too lazy to say Adam, and everyone else calls me Gow, which is annoying because I have an identical twin brother, so we never quite know who people are calling for sure. I call my twin several variations of Daniel, but not Daniel, I call him Dan, Danny, Danny-Boy, Dan-Dan-Danny, Dandini, Dan-Dan-the-dandy-man, Danathor, etc, all of which really, really piss him off, but I'm bigger than him, so I get away with it.

Um, I've had a few.

Other than about a million variation on my real name, I was nicknamed bolt due to my prominence on the track team and when I occasionally played running back. I was also nicknamed stretch due to my extreme flexibility. Creative nicknames they were not.

My nickname is Slag. It is nothing to do with the common usage of slag it was just a weird science lesson. This also led to my username.

Don't ask. Please.
I'm asking.
I'm putting it out there. I'm breaking the rules.
Why is your nickname "Sandy Swedish Barbarian"?

(I'm sorry.)
I am Swedish.
People in Sweden are uncivilized barbarians.
Sweden is also full of sand.
We invented the sand-mower.

I have two diffrent nicknames. One of my friends thought i looked like a mouse, so he would always call me '"the cheese". My other nickname is babyshoes, because i used to only wear velcro sneakers, and would put them on with my heel sticking out.

I've had a few nicknames over the years, but none of them ever stuck for very long.

My name is Kristoffer so my friends called me Krissi.
as the years went by, they found out that Kristoffer was a pretty common name and that Krissi was a common nickname, so they decided to call every Kristoffer by their last name. so for the last four years I have been called Martinsen.

oh, wait. almost forgot about last year. Some girls in my class thought that I wasn't a Kristoffer. I was more of a Martin. so at first they thought I should change my name to Martin Kristoffersen, and then they tried Kris Martin and they seemed to like that one because to them that's who I was for a year.
and that sucks because now I answer if I'm called Krissi, Martinsen and Kris Martin. I have too many nicknames-.-

Real name is Alexander, nickname is Alex.

Or Alek for my WoW-guildmates (main character called Aleksandr).

Or Rod-your-ass because my last name Röjerås apparently sounds funny for them, damn Brits.

Also get's called Llama quite a bit because my Gamertag on Xbox Live and nickname on most computer games is White Lama.
