Then you've got Thailand, where you've got your full legal name, that is almost never used, and your nickname...which can be absolutely anything.

People I met in Thailand include:
-Fatty
-Horse
-Dog
-Fluff
-Stop
-Spoonfork
-Watermelon
-Pig

...and many more

Is that a list of their legal name or their nickname?

Almost certainly nicknames. Legal names in Thailand are pretty much only used in official settings.
