A few Giants nicknames that come to mind. Big Six, Stretch, Say Hey Kid, Sal "The Barber" Maglie, "Dirty" Al Gallagher, John "The Count" Montefusco, Rod "Shooter" Beck, also "Panda" and "Baby Giraffe". Orlando Cepeda who was called "Baby Bull" because his Dad was a legendary slugger called "The Bull" and was known as the Babe Ruth of Latin America.
One of my personal favorites is Walter "Big Train" Johnson, nobody was stopping him from coming down the tracks.
