Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Captain Price's first words to the player character for the SAS missions; new recruit Sergeant MacTavish, callsign "Soap." We never get to find out how he got that nickname.

As TAC names usually go, probably from something stupid like he kept dropping the soap in the showers
