Stalag 17 and Club 34 were the only widely known ones that I can remember from our day. To @Old Navy BGO 's point current events could come into play as well. I seem to recall 22nd Company getting an unfortunate nickname that way in the early 80s.I think that was (at least part of) the impetus in going from 36 to 30 (that was probably 20-25 years ago). Whole wings of Bancroft were shut down to do renovations.
Same in the '80's, but certainly some informal names ...often based upon Company culture, and current events and Company officer at the time.. Level of use also varied by the Company -we were 7th Company "Sea Dogs" but I don't anyone ever used it or identified themself by it.
