    Some that make me smile.

    James 'The Giant Peach' Reid ( how on earth do you get , or want ? , a nickname like that.)

    'Inspector' Ron Hope ( maybe something to do with his day job ?)

    Eugene 'Gang' Green LOL !

    All the above were early victims on Renaldo 'Mr' Snipes record.

    Not one you'd have heard of, but back in the day we had a local policeman who was a club fighter.

    His nickname was "The Law," and he came to the ring to the 1966 Bobby Fuller Four hit song, "I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)" -- it was a great colorful gimmick.
