When I was a teenager we called one of our friends 'mountain ash'. 
seems a bit mean now.
His name was Ashley and he was very tall and quite overweight, and had this massive head of long black hair.
Someone coined the name when we were all stoned
and thought he literally looked like a mountain, and from then on he was Mountain Ash.

DS name is Maverick,
I didn't know this but apparently when children are learning to talk they pronounce the sound 'v' as 'g'. So his cousin 3 was calling him Mag-rick, which sounded like Magic. So now Maverick is Magic....
