What are some nicknames for tall people?
Ugh! I detest tall related nicknames. Let’s be honest; there are more exciting things about a person that can inspire a nickname than their height. However, I have enjoyed teasing my short friends with some height-related nicknames. So, I guess getting called tall nicknames like Tower, Giant, Tower Clock, Escalator, Clouds, Long Legs, Beanstalk, Lamppost, and Tallie is fair game.
If you insist on being a horrible person like my friends, the following are some nicknames for a tall person.
