Absolutely marvellous !!!!
I think we've got something going here ...... thanks to Astonian! He really got me thinking about surnames which automatically give their owners a nickname. This is a list of surname-associated nicknames which come to mind :

Murphy ……………… “Spud” Murphy / Taylor
White ………………... “Chalky” White
Clark/Clarke ………..... “Nobby” Clark/Clarke
Miller ……………….... “Dusty” Miller
Nelson …...…………... “Admiral” Nelson
Thorn ………………... “Spike”/”Spikie” Thorn/Thorne
Underhill …………...… “Mole” Underhill
Webb ………………... “Spider” Webb
Perkins ………………. “Polly” Perkins
Sanders ……………… “Sandy” Sanders
Watson ……………… “Winker” Watson
Mc/Mac ……………... “Jock”
Bell ………………….. “Dinger” (thanks, Paul !!)
Smith .......................... "Smudger" (cheers, ed)

Could you please add to the list; there must be many, many more.
