What are the nick names of big ben?

Big Ben is in fact an unofficial name for the Great Bell (the one which strikes the hour) inside the tower itself, so it is a nickname. The real name for Big Ben is Elizabeth Tower. It was officially named in 2012 after Her majesty the Queen Elizabeth. Since it was built in the nineteenth century (1858 to be exact) it had no official name until 2012. It was just the tower in the Palace of Westminster.
