As my team has at last found a nickname for me as we have 2 leo's in the team. i just wanted to know if any of you have or have heard or created some funny nicknames?

Rilla as I'm apparently big and hairy
Rillaroo
Roco
There are others but not for a public forum

Pretty simple from me... been Stevo (surname Stevenson, pretty self-explanatory) since U10s and as such have hardly been called anything else in my cricketing career (apart from maybe my first name from some older blokes)

Bubba as I had a drooping lip as result of a freak accident in the nets where the ball hit me on the rebound from the steel frame .

Bruce- We all call each other bruce, stemmed from a load of us going to Egypt on holiday and has stuck for 5 years!
Baffoon- Not neally sure

Bovine- I was about to call someone a baffoon but bovine came out instead?!
Coy- Surname
Pal- as in friend, an old coach used to address every one as 'Pal'
DeCoy- first name David... One cricket tour to Mallorca CC, scorers shoted bowlers name, With a reply of 'Did his mother not think!'
Barrett- Unfortunately, this is one of my middle names :( I'm getting married in April, I think I'm gonna have to get the bloke to pause for laughter
-
One of the funniest I heard was a guy who rejoiced in the nickname 'Fatal' - quite pleasing for a bowler, with connotations of doom, death, inevitability, the hour of reckoning.
He was miffed when he realised that it was actually a bit of a pun and he was actually being called Fat Al. :D
-
is there a shrek in the team too?
probably me as well! haha
puss in boots is what we make the opposition!
-
Some good ones we've had over the years -
The Ghost (our opening bowler, possibly the whitest man on the planet)
Swiss Toni (a batsman who resembled the Fast Show car salesman)
The Morse Code Kid (dot, dot, dash - his batting was always blocks and quick singles)
LGL (the Forum's very own Leo - I'll let him explain)
Favourite pro one - Peter Hartley used to be known as Daisy at Yorkshire - because some days he does it and some days he doesn't.
-
Mcelderry - my name is Joe McCarthy so but of word play. Was a lamb to the slaughter for banter when he came out gay!
-
Mine are pretty boring, its normally one of 3
Jordo - my names Jordan
Jowen - put the J from Jordan with my surname and you get Jowen
Wolfie - this started at work because I apparently look like Eddie Munster and it got carried over to cricket
-
Along similar lines, one of our youngsters is Sally (S.Ali)
-
Bones or Boner if they're feeling particularly nasty, as I used to be super skinny, and someone once described me as a bag of bones and it stuck.
My all time favourites from cricketers are
Spikes and Crime.
-
Planet, because once i decided to shave my head and it's huge, and it looks like a planet.
Wilks or wilkie, as it's my surname
-
We have a couple of nicknames within our team, I dont really have one.
Minty (Paul Murray -> Murray Mint)
Little Mint (Paul's son)
Deano Bambino (my dad, Dean)
Rafa (captain who looks like Rafa Benitez)
Deadly (bowler called Derek who bowls pie chuckers)
Dudley (same bowler because someone thought we were saying Dudley, not Deadly)
Silly Jerry and Jerry the Berry (2 Jerrys so have to have nicknames, ones a bit of a prat)
-
fasteddie - when I was in the Army I was first out of the door when there was any kind of sport or an operation availavble.
eddie - because my surname is Edwards
mr rivers - a friend wrote a book and there was an army character called mr rivers. Apparently he based the character on me!
I was named "scud" at one game. It didn't last long but my innings consisted of me swinging a missing an awful lot. Somehow I got to 50. Scud, because I never hit anything!

Mine is 'Dusty'
My surname is Miller, Geoff Miller was known as Dusty and it has stuck to me ever since someone mentioned it.
Robin has many.
'Aslan' - a cheeky dig at his obsession with Lions
'Vending' or 'Vendo' - his family business is a vending machine company
'Mr Tickle' - named in honour of his favourite shot, the tickle down to fine leg
Others at our club include:
'Tubes' or 'Adele' or 'The Honey Monster' - the same person, depending on his weight/hairstyle he looks like Adele, or Soccer AM's Tubes or The Honey Monster
'Boris' - (http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/5850_135223581006_2439722_n.jpg)
'Bg Show' - One of our seamers looks just like the wrestler.
There are many others, but these are mostly in jokes.

Haha yeah might go with that one! Smints are pretty small too aren't they, might go for Sminty!

Please see user name...
The best one in my team is Tubs, not for the name itself but the reason for it. People would assume it is due to a "stocky" build but this is not the case.
The father of the lad's girlfriend walked in on him in the bathroom at the family home late one night to find him perched on the edge of the the bathtub taking a dump in the bath :o
Safe to say he had had rather a lot to drink that night and will never be allowed to forget the humiliating experience :D
-
At Uni = Harpoon. However I know Manormanic has another nickname for me...
-

Brad or Friedel. I look like a smaller version of Brad Friedel.
Got a bit embarrassing when he signed for the claret and blue side of the city but all better now.

I thought the Indian chaps had nicknamed me "bad shot" until one of them told me they were calling me bhenchod
-
I got nicknamed "Wibble wobble" when we went to Jamaica by the opposition because i was the only bowler swinging the ball.
-
For do, due to my being verticaly challenged and I wear my wedding ring on my chain when we play so I never lose it.
Hence Frodo

The beast and leo the lion = as i can make realistic sounding animal noises.... (slightly embarrassing)

-
Hope you recover from the injury soon!
I'm known as Hong Kong express, and have been known as that since I started cricket as I am a British born Chinese and used to steam in while bowling. (Used to be like 55 mph haha, although have gained a bit of pace)

Cindy (see my username), some jokers on the boundary started calling it me in a junior game because I couldn't throw the ball back in from the boundary and it stuck.

At one cricket club, I was "Sid / Sidney" after Sid Waddell the darts comentator on the basis we were both Geordies and my surname is quite close to Waddell
