Having given it some thought I have to wonder if J.K. Rowling got her 'nickname' for Peter Pettigrew from J.R.R. Tolkien. Wormtongue = Wormtail ? They do bear a bit of simularity between them.

Wormtongue indeed was a nickname.. but when everyone calls you something and forsakes your original name, what is the difference between a nickname and a name?
