OK Alistair, see if you can relate. I had 2 nicknames, 1 for Primary & 1 for Secondary. First was Crystal Tips as there was a children's cartoon called Crystal Tips & Alistair! Second was Bongo as there was a magician called Ali Bongo. Not hugely creative, but I enjoyed Bongo and still occasionally use it to this day.
Called Lulubelle, very briefly in about fifth grade, by a friend who did it to annoy. My official name was Mary Lou, which was hokey enough (although it gave me a bit of fame when Rickie Nelson's song Hello Mary Lou hit the charts), but it was definitely better than Lullubell.
An unusual topic, Alistair. But okay, I’ll play along.
My school nickname was Finny Fish. I like to think it was more to do with my maiden name (Finnemore), than any slight on my looks.

My nickname was four eyes. I didn’t wear glasses - it was a corruption of my surname, interesting linguistic shift, I thought.
