Examples?

Tent had me going for a bit until I worked it out, there was one for Keppie too but can’t remember it.

Honestly Sid is the best nickname for DCE

 

[ManEagle]

This only clicked with me a couple of weeks ago.

His initials are "T" & "P" = "TeePee" which is a tent.

Ahhh now I get it ....i just presumed because he was big like a tent .....just TP
DOH!!!

Dont worry, it took me a while to figure it out haha!

I was thinking "Tent? What, like a circus tent? Is it because he has a big top? Nah, that doesnt make sense..."

 

[47MVEagle]

Once I worked out "Tent" I thought "Wig Wam" would be a good development of his nickname haha

 

[Chip and Chase]

I like "Spork" for Walker - because he can't decide between a spoon and a fork

Me too, Mark.
Was Keppie's something to do with dolly, as in kewpie?

 

[Dan]

Thanks @Budgewoi Eagle - great post!

I often have no idea why and who some are (eg. Garrick is sandwich).

To me though Siro is Siro, Suli is Suli and AFB is a ****** Beast!

Suli is avatar isn't he? As in Jake Sulley the main character

 

[Dan]

Still think turtle for DCE was his best

 

[Budgie]

Me too, Mark.

I think he looks for all the world like a potato but that's not very nice and Spud's taken.

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, Rueben will always be “Sanga” to me, as he’s an Aussie country boy and he probably isn’t as pretentious to use the more formal Sandwich. Plus it rolls off the tongue more easily.

You could always go with Mash, Kipfler or the kestrel, no ?
