Lots of nicknames, but to be shared with others and not the subject of nicknaming 😛
Best one: guy at work named Nick Dobson. Never has a name switched letters better!
 
I tend to run across people with last names like "Moorehead," no shit. I've come across 3-4, so far.

Pretty rare that I give someone a nickname, but there have been a few select people. A guy I worked with a few years ago was named Will, but I rarely called him by that since he didn't look much like a Will. I just changed his name daily, but I'd keep it interesting and non offensive. He thought it was hilarious since he never knew whether he'd be Will, Earl, Edgar, Frederick, Timothy, etc. He was probably generally the happiest guy I've come across in a work environment like the one we were in.
 
Some of the nick names I've called people:
- Creek mouth
- Beef jowl
- Bleeding wise and beautiful woman
- Fatman
- Curtain samurai
- Fabruce
- Booze bag
- Slunt
- Hot mess
- Chapped meat curtains
- Human garbage
- Triple H (which stands for the Herp, the HIV and the Hep)

And those were just for your Mom, amirite?
 
I generally make nicknames for people who I think are my close friends because they like to get called by their nicknames.

We got the B man, the J Dog, and the J Dog 2 (Jim is 2, because Jeff was 1st.), also we got T-Rex also.

The B man has been a little touchy lately though. I worry about him, hope he's all right!
 
We had,

Skipper/ AKA "The Poison Dwarf"
The Slimy Limey
The Eel
Cupcake
Bullet
Mumbles
Princess
Muffin

and a few more, I can't remember offhand.
 
I base my nicknames off looks. I have this co worker who looks like ALF. Even rocks those Hawaiian button down shirts. I also base my nicknames off celebrities. Got this co worker, who looks like Obama. So I call him that. Had a Method Man once. My boss looks like Fred from Scooby Doo, cept on PCP.
