We had an over-excited OC Ops who we christened "Luke Ceilingwalker", but I don't think the name got used outside ATC.
However, that's slightly off-topic.

Years ago there was a Stn Cdr in Masirah with a speech impediment. When he used the tannoy his broadcast sounded like "This is the Cleo", after which he became known as Cleo. There was an open competition on the station to name the newly constructed street system so the suggestion was put forward that the road to the Officers' Mess should be Cleo Lane

A delightful music student I once knew had the rather unfortunate surname of Titty. Even more unfortunately, her parents had seen fit to christen her Ophelia.
