In my early High School days, I went to a youth group.
One night, one girl calls Peter because I remind her of that character from the Narnia movie/book series...
and apparently I look like him, so imagine him as a 17 year old and thats me.
My best friend still calls me that rarely.

Long-neck or long-john because I'm tall.
Rodney by some who think I look like Rodney Trotter.
John "T" because my French teacher started calling me it and then it caught on with the people in that class.
Johnny Bravo. My name's Jonny, that's all really.
John Connor because of all the resistance, albeit passive, that I gave to the school's new administration, usually regarding uniform and being able to talk my way out of anything.
Wilko for my Rugby-playing abilities. Referencing Jonny Wilkinson.
Everyone else, who didn't have any real association to make, just used my last name.

I have been called ''Flang'' for some considerable time. I have no idea where that came from. Since I moved here, I don't have that nickname anymore. After a while here, people started calling me ''Kieft'' (say: keeft). Again: no idea where it came from.
Theres been a good amount of those- most recently its been midgets, there is also stonewall, that kid, patches(apparently i could dodge a wrench), among other idk how that makes sense ones.
RJ. Those are my first and middle initials.
Also, Doc.. though I'm not exactly sure how that one came to be.
My parents called me Goose when I was a kid. I'm not exactly sure where that originated, either, to be honest.

I used to be called Nate Dogg in middle school for really no reason other than Nate being my name.
If a username counts, I've been Ty for years now online. Barely anyone calls me Nate around the web.

Several.
My first real nickname was Mini-Tall Howard. This was due to a friend of mine who was a grade above me in highschool. Though his name was Travis, people in his class referred to him as Tall Howard (Due to his height, though the meaning of the Howard part always evaded the two of us). He and I looked quite a bit alike one-another back then. Blue eyes, brown hair, we'd even been mistaken for one another by various people. Conversely, kids in my class thought of him as Big Ben (My name being Ben).
Then, when Grade 10 rolled along I began to wear a Che Guevara beret. Thus I earned the nickname Communist...if one can call how it was used a nickname. Conversely, some other people (Mostly girls, for some reason) called me Zombie, because I always wore black and occasionally sported Black Metal affectations.
Since then, I've also become known by Benji, Benito, Benjo and oddly, Kiddy.

Well i got myself a new nickname. I'm working at a different place, and my friends there gave me a new nickname of ipad. because my real name is imad (pronounced emaad). but hey, it's not a bad nickname as far as i'm concerned.
Yeah two in fact one being huggsie or something it's not a real word, and the other being Wolf man. Because I guess I looked like someone off of twilight.
'The Other One' for being a twin. My co-workers call me 'Professor' because I'm a part time instructor at a nearby university... but they've been calling me that since they found out I have a higher education.
I get called 'Thorny' and 'Thorsie' by many people. Cuz my name is Thor. When I played sports and by some other officers I get called 'Anvil' cuz my surname is an anglicized version of the word anvil in another language. At this point if a person has a repeated difficult time pronouncing my surname I tell them to use Anvil since I respond to it.
Nothing terribly creative.
