I remember we called one ginger kid DURACELL because he had a copper coloured top.

Listening to my kids all the nicknames are based round names (becks for rebecca etc), but growing up in my area we had........

Jelly
dekka the heed
bun
square (also known as "dicer"....due to shape of head)
Do (fat lad)
scud
smow
fingers
big nod
little nod
tinker
felter
grunter
mouth on a stick
tramp
beef
half pint
and that was without those that had name based nicknames.
