Way back one of my best friends at uni phoned my house to invite me to her 21st. She got my mum & went "Hi, is...um" then it dawned on her she didn't know my actual name & was going to have to say "is Butt-Punch there?" to my mum...
I've tended to find NZ nicknamers - especially small town ones, are really basic, but pretty vicious. Aussies seem to put a lot more genuine thought into there's.

Smithie.Yeah that. My favourite was "Mike" always becomes "Mick", which takes on a whole new meaning for Kiwis. Had a mate who would lose his shit on that all the time.

Best one recently was Cheesie. Short for Cheeseburger. He was son of Big Mac.
My brother is Sax. So named after he got Shelfered in a game and didn't find out until the moment he hit the sea after jumping off the wharf on the way home.
That has occasionally resulted in me being Little Sax. Not cool.

A few mates
Ronaldo - due to an experience he had on Brighton beach
Sergei - after the polevalulter, his alternative name was dongle
Colonel - last name Keen, (it's a mustard reference)
Cuddly - because he was a fluffybunny and an Aussie
Cuntly - because he (I) wasn't
gimp - we convinced a young lady he was a German dungeon fetishist, ( which may have been true or not)
Bruce - because he was a Kiwi and his name was BrianMany more
