grammar - Quotation marks for nicknames

E.g. "I get called Hitler in school." or "I get called 'Hitler' in school."?



Would quotation marks be needed for 'Hitler'?
What if it was an uncommon or nonsensical word like 'A123' or 'Gaylord'. Would the capital letter alone be enough to grammatically make its usage fine? What if the nickname is made up of multiple words like "Fatty Pig Face"?
