Similar story, I had a coworker who went by Skippy and it turns out people call him that because he still walks with a limp from a car crash that killed his brother.

I started calling him Shaun

Is Shawn his name or the noise he made in the car crash?

I got the nickname "Ralph" because I was wicked hungover at work during covid shutdown and threw up.
