Rotating Dave - every conversation contained a "So I turned round and said to..."
Growbag - he had personal hygiene issues and was called it to his face
Baggy Anne - let's just say she had 'been around'
Manwoman - was rather androgynous (sp? - couldn't be arsed to check)
Some old fella was known as "The Prince of Darkness" (he was a letch).
Also worked with a 'Roland Browning' as well. When he got a bit sarcy, the shout of "I'm only trying to help you row-land" in a whiny voice would go around the office.

Some were easy - Slaphead, and the guy with the tombstone teeth. We also had the sniff your armpit man, and of course, tosser. Frowny, smiley, and raise your eyebrows in a surprised manner.
