I used to know a bouncer (pub security guy) in Queensland whose bouncer nickname was Princess.
See, he was new at the job, and he told the others that when they called him on the 2-way radios, his name (Josh) just sounded like static. Being a New Zealander, he suggested "can you call me kiwi insted?" to which the head bouncer replied, "nah, ya don't get to choose yer own nickname, princess."
There was a meaningful pause, and the die was cast forever.
