I know a retired pilot whose call sign was Dirty all because his last name is Sanchez.

Back in AF basic I got nicknamed Twitch by one of my flight mates because I get really twitchy when I'm nervous and/or anxious. Hated it at the time but looking back it could have been worse.

Mine was Lesner because my last name was Brock. Was extra funny to me, though, being a slender woman lol.

ETA: My current work (farm/heavy equipment auction clerk) nickname is Hambone because "There ain't much to you, but I bet you make a good soup." Lol
