My sister and her husband have always had really random nicknames for each other. One time they used to always call each other 'Michael'. I asked for an explanation once but I'm not too sure how well I understand it. Apparently (though I haven't seen it myself) the movie 'The Man in the Moon' (about Andy Kaufman) ends with REM coming on stage to sing their titular song. Jim Carey gives lead singer Michael Stipe a very cheery "Hello Michael!" which was then imitated by my brother in law whenever he said hello to anyone. My sister then began calling him Michael back and then they were both calling each other Michael even without the hello.
Nowadays they call each other 'Frodo'. I'm not sure why but I assume its because my brother in law looks like a hobbit.
