There was a thread like this a while ago (cant find it) and it made me laugh because me and DP have nicknames for our neighbours too...
Mr Mercedes - drives a mercedes
Nosy Nora - self explanatory really Grin

Anymore?

We have
Team slob - because they wear onesies in front of the tv (literally, that's it. They also work full time and have busy, functional lives)
The pharmacist - he is a retired pharmacist
Petrolhead - an oldish lady who revs her car really enthusiastically whilst blasting music louder than most ears could tolerate
Mushroom woman - my husband thinks she looks like a mushroom
Hippy bloke - mushroom woman's husband. Has long hair and dresses only sort of hippyish.
Misery guts - old lady who grimaces instead of smiling

Where I used to live: The Miserable Bastards, Stickybeak (nosey) The Russian Dissident (he wasn't but he looked like one) The Trap House, The Poles Next Door (lovely) and Your Mother's An Alcoholic (He used to get pissed and sit in the street shouting this) Oh and Thumbface. I was probably that deranged bitch on the end.

Gordon - his name’s not Gordon, but he buys a bottle of gin every day.

Pissy Lil - elderly lady who smells of wee.

I have an extremely over obsess neighbour that stands in her door way at all times of day and stares at my house straight through my window I've had to put a double layer of voiles up for privacy. She know everything about everyone even if you keep yourself to yourself she knows! She will watch the street and the slightest sound of talking she's out and butting in. She's had 3 neighbours move out next door over the last 3 years as she's invaded they're privacy so badly .
Her nickname u here you ask? Everyone calls her neighbourhood watch

PJ pest- runs in and out the house all day in pjs, often found borrowing something from us.
Invisible wo-man - doesn't actually live in her council property anymore.
Nice Mavis- pretty self explanatory.
Trainer Twat- obsessed with a certain brand and has over 100 pairs that he keeps taking photos of and putting on Facebook- married to Purple headed mad ferrit, often found with a purple face yelling obscene shit at people who breathe near her.
The nice ones next door but one.
Cackling witch, world worst DJ and son of worlds worst DJ at the top of the street.
Akita lady, lovely lady and lovely akitas.
Crocheting pasty, she loves a nice bit of yarn.

I had a Mrs Tissell, and being raised to be polite I called her his a lot. All fine until many years later, when I mentioned her to my mum and she hadn't a clue who I meant

Once we worked it out her face was a picture of mortification ... it turned out the lady was actually Mrs Renayne, and what I'd picked up on was the nickname once used because she talked constantly about the "tissells in her garden" Blush

The Tony of Doom (he alway mentions worse case scenarios 'if you dont get that shed painted soon it will ROT' 'if you don't pick up your free newspaper immediately you will be BURGLED' 'If you don't park perfectly someone will HAVE THE SIDE OF YOUR CAR OFF' he's a retired police pfficer and hasn't quite let it go. he greets me every morning with 'Survived then?' as if he's always expecting me to die in the night.)

There is also 'Creosote Nicky' - a fence painting obsessive.

And 'Uncle Poo-Poo's Man' (we've named his dog - a huge standard poodle - Uncle Poo-Poo, because we have a little toy poodle, so he is obviously Uncle P's man)
