   This is interesting: At 6’6" and 300 lbs, Arthur Henderson of the Omaha Twisters was both the tallest and heaviest Major League Human Cannonball star. Yet ‘Pee-Wee’ was his nickname.

   Perhaps “Pasta Gone Wild” would fit the bill.

   If there was a good pasta recipe, you can be sure that Garfield would be there!

   Not that strange, where I work the biggest man (by far) is “Tiny” even the name on his uniform.

   For several years, the afternoon shift manager at a grocery store where I shop was a huge fellow… not fat, just big.
   
   My guess would be 6’6" and 350 lbs…. he towered over the lanky 22-year-old who looked very tall standing alone.

   
   He was also called “Tiny.”
   It was on his name-tag, and even embroidered on his apron.

   
   And years ago, my neighbors had a huge Great Dane (is there another kind?) named “Pee Wee.”

   
   I think that sort of irony is pretty common… but I can’t think of a nickname that means huge, or giant, nor do I know a small person or animal called by it…..
   the closest I can think of off hand is a neighbor’s tiny chihuahua named Ali, after Muhammad Ali.

   Plenty of names to represent largeness, Titan, refrigerator, giant, colossal, big etc. Why not just use their actual name?

   Susan, I was watching a home renovation show once, and the home owners had a Great Dane named Fezzik. Although this was straight forward, not ironic, I loved it.
   (Just in case; Fezzik was a very large character in the movie Princess Bride, played by Andre the Giant.)

    Was there not a NFL player nicknamed the “Refridgerator”? Due of course to his size. I doubt if Brick Wall would have sounded as good. …. just a little piece of interesting….. now my mind is full. Come back later when there’s more room.

    Because people enjoy doing so.
