"Different" Nicknames

[tinylittlestars.livejournal.com]

Who do you know that has a nickname they are commonly known by that is in no way related to their name?

My friend Mark goes by "Juggs" or "Jugsy" which relates to an embarrassing story from when he was younger, and my best friend Raechel goes by "Reeko" which is a 'punk name' her younger brother and sister made up for her.

I knew a James who was called Bob, but I have no idea why. My grandfather's eldest brother was called Walter - Joe for short. No idea how he got that either.
