The Key to a Good Nickname:

It should be positive and make the person feel good.
It should be appropriate for your relationship with the person. (What works for your significant other might not work for your boss!)
It should be something they like. (Don't force a nickname on someone who hates it!)
Consider inside jokes or shared memories. These make nicknames even more special.
