I can yell you a handful from around Lurgan.

Shep - After John Noakes' old shaggy dog because of his appearance.

John the Baptist - Similar sort of reason. Long hair and beard, not the cleanest.

Big D and Wee D - both are called Damien. One of them called our house one night and left a message for one of our ones, said it was Damien.  Took us a while to figure out it was one of the Ds since they were never called by their real names most of the time.

Big Ted and Wee Ted - Two brothers - when they were younger there was a big difference in size between them.  Not anymore there isn't, Wee Ted is probably taller, but the names have stuck.

Moon - Dunno how he got that name, but his brother ended up with the name Sun.

The Red - His second name is Devlin so it goes well with that and because of his reddish complexion and red hair.

You could probably start a separate thread for the nicknames for teachers.

Boaker - As in "he who boaks/vomits" - he tells sick jokes

JJ and AJ - A husband and wife pair of teachers at the same school, that was their initials.  JJ was also known as Toad because of his stout appearance and big glasses.

Grasshopper - He was tall and lanky

Noddy - An old name for a fella that used to drive a wee blue and yellow motor.  Fell out of use once people got too old to remember that childrens' TV show.

Fat C0ck - He was fat so it was assumed his member was the same

Scratcher - He couldn't stop scratching himself

Beefer - His brother owned a butcher's shop in the town

Jack Russell - That was is real surname and his voice sounded a bit like the bark of a small yappy dog

Butley - Damned if I know where that came from.  He was a headmaster and had been around since the school was opened, so the origin of the name is probably forgotten

Squeaky - A young trainee teacher with a high pitched voice

James Bond / The Equalizer -  A fella who was in love with himself and loved strutting around like he was a suave secret agent

The Saint - The terrifying nun headmistress and had eyes that could freeze the blood in your veins

The Mad Monk - Another nun. The name says it all.  She was bonkers.

Some people will probably be able to guess what schools I was at if you can recognise any of them names.

[Radda bout yeee]

The favourite one i've heard around my club is Slimer - as in the ghost from ghostbuster!!! It really caught on to the lad!
