Julian, but not quite. Julian was Caesar's gens or clan name, not his nickname. In fact , with the exception of Antylus or Rufus, we don't know any Roman nicknames, even though they certainly had them. This is because the ancient writers always used the lawful names of those of whom they were writing and not nicknames.
Juilus Caesar did not have a nickname.
The Romans did have nicknames. This was the agnomen. The Roman naming system consisted of the praenomen (the person's first name) nomen (the name of the clan) and cognomen (the name of the branch of the clan). To these, an agnomen (plur. agnomina) could be added. These were nicknames.
Some agnomina were adoptive. An adopted person would take the adoptive fathers' name. An agnomen was added to indicate the former identity.
Some agnomina were triumphal. They indicated the area were someone had been victorious or who someone defeated. Some examples are Scipio Africanus (the African), Claudius II Gothicus (the Goth).
Apart from these, agnomina often described a characteristic of the person and were sometimes derogatory. Agnomina were not always used. Sometimes they became cognomina.
Some examples of agnomina are: Aculeo (prickly, unfriendly), Ahala (underarm pit), Albinus (pale, white skinned), Ambustus (scolded), Aquilinus (eagle-like), Barbatus (bearded), Brutus (dullard), Caecus (blind), Calidus (hot-headed), Caninus (dog-like) Cordus (born late), Corvus (crow), Crispus (curly-haired), Crassus (fat) ,Cunctator (procastinator), Curvus (stooping), Imperious (domineering), Laterensis (from the hill side), Lentulus (slow), Lepidus (charming), Paullus (small), Postumus (born after the father's death), Pictor (painter), Rufus (ginger-haired), Severus (strict), Scaevola (left-handed), Superbus (haughty), Varus (bow-legged).
Possibly, but it hasn't come down to us. If he did, it more than likely would be "Baldy" or something similar. The Romans, by our standards, were brutal in their nicknames and often called a person after some physical characteristic which would be a no-no today.
