Queen Anne was given the nickname Brandy Nan. Seems like they missed a chance for an obvious rhyme, Brandy Nanny!
I suspect no one called her the name to her face, however, a statue of the Queen in St Paul's churchyard once had graffiti written on it as: "Brandy Nan, Brandy Nan, left in the lurch; Her face to the gin-shop, her back to the church!"
