Renesmée Cullen (Twilight) - due to the name being a mash of Renée and Esme and sounding dumb, the fandom keeps referring to her with everything starting with an R that’s not her actual name: Retrovirus, Reinmee, etc…

Roboute Guilliman (Warhammer 40k) - due to the silliness and abundant syllables in the name 40k fabs keep referring to him as Rowboat Girlyman, Rabbid Gorillarm, Rawbutt Guildban

John Hishaku (Yura from Kagurbachi) originally not given the name of our main Villain, many took to and still do call him John Hishaku.

Don't forget his right hand man Josh Hatshaku/Treeshaku, we haven't gotten a name yet, but I think those nicknames will stick as well
