A mate of mine is called Ike after Ike Turner due to smashing a guitar off the radiator in his bedroom when having a row with his then girlfriend at 17. His wife (not his then girlfriend) continues to call him Ike to this day.

A few of my friends moved into a student apartment in first year and one of the rooms was wheelchair accessible, but vacant. They told people they lived with a guy in a wheelchair and referred to him as wheely. A few weeks later after a grade change Cathal moved in and everyone already knew him as Wheely.

We had a teacher called David Murphy who was known as Piggy (cos he looked like a pig) or Danger Mouse as he was down on the timetable as DM.
We had another teacher called Horsey cos she looked like a horse.
We had a teacher who was missing some fingers who was called Fingers. 
We’d another Murphy called Spud.
Our school was not particularly original when it came to teachers’ nicknames.
