I've got two coworkers that have gotten nicknames. Creepy Bev, and Drunk Driving Melissa.
Creepy Bev earned her nickname the summer I had a marketing internship for college. I'd work my "regular" job in the mornings, and the internship in the afternoon. Because of this, I'd just wear my shirt/tie for the internship at the normal job. Multiple times a week Bev would come up to me telling me how nice I look, often reaching out to touch my shirt.
Drunk Driving Melissa was called Taco Melissa, because once a week she'd bring in tacos and sell them at lunch. Then one day she got busted for DUI. Hello instant nickname change.
