Conky is British informal slang for someone with a prominent or unusually large nose. 'Conk' is established British slang for the nose, and '-y' adds the adjectival form meaning 'having a notable conk.' The register is informal and can be affectionately teasing or mildly unkind depending on context. It sits in the tradition of British nicknaming based on physical characteristics — someone might be called Conky as a nickname in exactly the same way they might be called Shorty or Ginger.
