It is sometimes useful for Brazilian/Portuguese/Spanish newgens.

I have trouble remembering which of my regens show potential, so I usually change their nickname to something like "HighPotentialMid" so I won't forget

retired_dchago

I've used it on the odd player who's name is messed, such as Delete Me in FM06 and the Hungarian with ERROR in his name in FM07. Both player had a normal name in the personal section of their profile so I just changed the nickname to this.

I add stars after their name to reflect what my scouts said they were potentially.

Stole the idea off some one on this forum.

I have only given 3 Players Nicknames in my entire FM career.

One is in my current squad.

He is an English centre-back called Lemonade (pronounced Lem-on-ah-duh like it's brazilian).

His real name is R (Richard) White.

I always use it to allow my manager to have one name instead of two. dafuge > da fuge

retired_cat4x42002

I use it alot. Mostly for remembering which youngsters to keep an eye on, and in some cases some immature renaming of disliked players

C. Ronaldo = Diver etc.

retired_el_chanclas

I use it.
