Because you are not from Europe. In Europe there are "square heads" (Germans), "keesekops" (Dutch), "cucumber heads", "testa de minchia" (Italians), etc. No love lost.
I think that the only people that are stereotypically Scandinavian are Danes. They are homogeneous, except people from Greenland. Women are spectacular. Finns are rather strange people, and in the other countries there are populations that are older that do not fit the stereotype.
Scandinavia indeed has the only European haplotype from before Indoeuropean invasions, the only haplotype originated in Europe, but they are not "Aryan"....they look like Europeans did 7.000 years ago, if they look different is because they mixed or selective breeding. They were the only ones that were not exterminated by Indoeuropeans and this haplotype descends from a single individual that lived 7.000 years ago. At that time, the glaciation was only 3.000 years ago and Scandinavia was not a nice place to live, so that kept Indoeuropeans (Aryans) out.
Naah. The stereotypical Scandinavian is a Swede. They (women) are prettier than their Scandinavian neighbours (Danes or Norwegians). An extra bonus is the Swedish language (skånsk excluded). It is like music in my ears. Danish, on the other hand, is plain ear torture. Yuck!

I've never heard of Germans being referred to as "square heads" and I live 5 minutes from the German border. Never heard of "cucumber heads" either. For the Dutch I guess you mean "cheese head" or "kaaskop", there's no such thing as a "keesekop".

Perhaps it's a Spanish thing
In Spain the germans are known as square heads, I never hear it because the shape of the head, but because they are precise, rigorous, rigid and meticulously organized, it's more related to the culture than the phisic.
The rest of nicknames, I have never heard of it.
When I hear cucumber heads I imagine this:
and does not seem the typical Swedish family.
