As Amelia Earhart was, after all the first Aviatrix to fly the Atlantic the nickname Lady Lindy seems downright obvious. she may have had other nicknames like the (Flat Top) or ( Flatsy) which were derisive about her physical construct. of course flat top is an acceptable term for an Aircraft Carrier -USN usage. but something else is implied- she was (Flat on top). quite the opposite of, say Jayne Mansfield who was nicknamed the (Cow). for obvious reasons, either feast or famine on the top line.
