Auggie is Aug/s, Auggles, Auggie Doggie, Waughie, Boopy, Poopy, Puppy, Poop-Face, Mr. Aug, Bad Dog, there's more but those are the common ones. I call him Auggie about 50% of the time, and one nickname or another the other 50% of the time... whether it's a logical nickname like Aug or Auggles, or it it's going to be something like Poop-face, I would say that's also a 50-50 split LOL.
Also he totally knows his name is Poop-face.
Payton is P, Pay, when he was a baby he was Pay-Pay but he doesn't get that one much anymore, Pay-da-Pay, Paytonmobile, Puppy, Baby, Beebee, Muffin, Monster, Wild Man, on and on. He's probably Payton 50% of the time, the other 45% of the time he's P, and the remaining 5% he gets one of the other nicknames. But I do call him just P an awful lot. My mom kind of hates that I call him P...
Pepper gets Pep, Peppy, Peppysaurus, Peppydrizzle, Drizzle, Pepper-epper, Girly/Big Girly, My Girl. So few exciting nicknames. =P She is most often Pepper but I call her Drizzle a lot too. I feel like she's not too bright so if I started calling her by a nickname she wouldn't know I was talking to her. Poor Pepper.
My parents call Georgie "Georgie" almost all the time and sometimes "Georgie-poo;" I call her George (I guess technically you would spell it "Georg"), Girly/Little Girly, Georgie Porgie, Porgie. I think she is Georgie more often than not though.

I forgot to include the rabbits. Otto is almost always called Otter or some variation of that (like Otterpotomus)
Hannah is called "The Mer" far more often than Hannah. Her name was Merlin when we adopted her, which I didn't think was very girly, but we still call her The Mer as a nickname. She also has variations of Hannah like Handimal, or Handa Bear.
Watson definitely knows his nicknames and will respond to Pup-pup or Monkey. He also knows his real name since I use it for recalls and when I really want his attention (the way I say it also changes).
I think Hannah only knows "The Mer" and doesn't know her actual name.
I'm pretty sure Otto is mostly deaf and doesn't give a crap what we call him. :lol-sign:

Poor Ned only gets called Ned online. If I'm talking to someone about him it's usually Ned or Neddy. Otherwise he gets Nedward, Nedbert, Bertie, Nedwin, Neduardo, or Nerdward hahaha. He gets the most ridiculous names.
Quinn is most often just Quinn or Quinny. My mom and I call her Quinn-a-roo (which often gets taken further to Roo-bie), or Quintan (her full name) though.
LOL!

Gracie Lou, like any other southern girl, this is the name I call when she's naughty or I want her attention

Gracie Lou Boo Baby, drawn out in to as many syllables as possible in a baby talk voice

Zoey is her name
Zoey Belle
Littlebit
Zo Zo (the girls call her this which irritates me)

Oh nicknames...
Onyx is: Monkey, Onyon (or Anyang?), Onular, Onion (and she responds to all of these just about as well as to her name), and then also Onion Cake, Bunion, and of course ROTTEN.
Yarrow is: Almost always PuppyBoy. I'd say he responds to it better than Yarrow. Also WolfDogBoy (my dad calls him that always, so he responds to it as well) and WolfDogBoyManBearPig (etc....). Yeah it's kind of weird. He is also Rotten when the need arises.
Jasper is: Mr. Jazz, Mister, Jazzaroo, Jazzy etc. Not super original.
