My dad is called "Tich" (as in little).. He's not particularly small, just happens to be smaller than his brothers. Who given him the nickname of Tich, before he even went to school. His brothers called him Tich, school friends called him Tich, his co-workers called him Tich. He worked in the same hospital (as an electrician) for his entire life. His first and only job. Some of his co-workers had known him for 40 years, and only known him as Tich. Never knew his real name. My niece, thought "granddad's" name was Tich. At the age of 23 she wondered who this "Michael" person was.. Shocked to find out it was his real name. I shouldn't laugh though, as I only known my granddad (My dad's dad) as Ginge (You get no points in guessing why).. I must have been 35 when I found out his name was Harold.. Well after he had already died.. Still refer to him as Granddad Ginge.. All his sons, Not ginger, All his Grandchildren, other than me, Ginger.. So it skipped a generation, but also, somehow skilled me.. (Though I do have it in my beard if it grows long). Had a friend called Dougal. Named him that because he did a perfect impression of Dougal from Father Ted.. Called it him so much, his own mother started calling it him.. Nick names STICK around these parts..

First day of school you usually get your nickname that sticks for the rest of life.

I worked with a guy Gary. A very angry man. Short temper. He hated the name we gave him. Burger. Why? He bought Macca's for lunch once. Someone asked what he got there? A half crashed burger in his fists. He replies loudly "BURGER!" then like on queue the entire contents drops out onto the table. And he's there with 2 halves of the bun and a steamed red face.

We had a guy at school called smooth because in food technology while blindfolded he said a pineapple was smooth Stuck with him for 12 years

Another mate of mine was called 'Martian' because his hands were so big he looked like an alien.

You may laugh at him now, but his wife calls him Bagdaddy.

As a kid I always wanted a nickname as it seemed cool at the time, as an adult looking through some of these comments I'm sure fucking glad I didn't get one 😂

I met a guy 20 years ago exactly one time, and for some reason I couldn’t pronounce his name. I wasn’t even particularly difficult, everyone else could fine, but for unknown reasons my mouth wouldn’t produce the correct sounds. After many attempts I jokingly said in frustration “F*** it! I’ll just call you Bob!” 15 or so years later I ran into him again. His wife calls him Bob. Apparently even his parents call him Bob. Everyone calls him Bob.
