I dare to resurrect:
Not nicknames as such but, over a short period, the Met Office of only about 2500 bodies had at least one each of :
Gale
Snow
Waterfall
Wind
Frost
Flood
Hales
And a good friend, great fun, answered phone with either "S Met O YES"! or "Duty Forecaster YES!" depending on which role he was occupying.
Not in the same class as "Station Farm, Duty Pig!" after an eructation or flatus.
