One of the girls in work offered to give me a lift to work one day. When her husband asked who she was taking to work, she apparently said "Outdoor Mike" without thinking.
After she told the story in the office, the name stuck. I like it.

I used to be known as pockets. Cause I usually had something in my pockets to sort out a problem or fix something in the office I used to work in.
I've been called Dom Mears by fellow scout leaders (when they're pleased with me), Dom Grylls (when they want a rise out of me), McGyver by some, The professor or professor Potts by one of my bosses, Lanky git by my climbing partner, sometimes dangerous Dom.... a few things.
Thankfully mostly a lot more complimentary than what I used to get called at School.

I was nicknamed Sparky throughout my childhood and also during my Army years as it rhymed with my surname.
Due to having done martial arts for years my cousins nicknamed me Miyagi and that side of the family including their kids all call me that.

Depends on the mates really.
The older mates often call me "gix" which is a shortened version of "gixer", after the many Suzuki GSXR's i tended to get through.
Other than that, as my name is Mark there isn't really much of a need to shorten it much.
Plus we don't tend to get many Mark's over here so it's also pretty distinctive here in Greece.

Wife call's me or Kip or kipper, small baby dog from kid's books!
Where i worked for 6 years they called me Runty!, even now when i pop in from time to time, because i am small like the runt of the litter!
At school i was called smurf, even by some of the teachers! again , because i am short (beginning to see a pattern here)!
A couple of members here who will remain anonymous call me Jason Donovan, but i don't know why?, he's not that short!

Spandit and Jack say I should be called "Gimp" because of our bonding sessions. I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds nice and friendly.

I was nicknamed 'muscles' on my triathlon team. I'm wasn't a big guy, but a little bigger than most of us triathletes.
Somewhere there's a line, a line that should not be crossed. Sadly for us that line is so far behind us it's now just a dot in our rear view mirror.
Now back in your box. If your lucky we'll let you out to play at the weekend.
