Knew of a bloke down country and his surname was Hard. His parents had christened him Ivo
Growing up it must have been like that song "A boy named Sue"

I am sure some nick names were derived from malice, but in most of my childhood someone came up with a clever name and it stuck....

One of my friends was nick named DJ cause his mom was always saying DAMMITJEFFEY, and so DJ stuck, another friend, babyray, he was a small guy and his name was ray, my last name was the name of a wild animal, so of course someone called me Animal once, and it stuck......
:confused3::cool2:

My brother has a name that has stuck I call still call him it's diddle short for diddle dallie because he always took his time to do anything he didn't want to do but he would get things done if he would benefit from it

About 40 years ago I was looking in the phone book for a contact whose last name was Head. You do remember phone books don't you? Anyway, as I was going down through the listings there was a "Richard". I wonder what his Army buddies called him?

A friend of mine's name: Richard Moist. Yep...

Navy nickname would be 'Stiffy'. We had a bloke whose last name was Hardman, same nickname.
