Ronald Reagan's nickname was "Dutch" given to him by father when he was very young. "Ronnie" and "Ron" were probably used on occasion. He was also referred to as "The Gipper" due to a movie role and "The Great Communicator" because of his skill in making speeches.
"The Gipper" based on the fact that in the movie "Knute Rockne, All American" Reagan played the part of George Gipp whose nickname was "The Gipper". A line from the movie was "Win One for the Gipper" an appeal to the rest to win against all odds. "Win one for the Gipper" became a common slogan for Reagan and his suporters when he went into politics.
