Mark 3:16 - Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter;

Peter means "a rock or a stone."

Mark 3:17 - James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, "Sons of Thunder";

To the best of my research, these are the only New Testament mentions of Jesus giving what we would think of as "nicknames."
