If I’m giving a coworker a nickname, it is usually some riff off of their real name that I know they don’t mind. This should be asked directly after creating it, and not just assumed. Most work friends won’t mind a humorous alternate name that is deployed sparingly and in private.

Maybe but some people may not be comfortable voicing an objection - please be very careful. It's usually best to only adopt a nickname if it's offered.

It is definitely case specific. Proceed with caution, always.
