Your dog's name vs. nicknames(s)

[halblingefrau]

My dogs' nicknames have morphed out of control. I'll see if i can list them in the logical order (hah!) that they evolved in.

Lucy: Lulu, Lulu-belle, Looby, Looby-loobs, Lubby, Lubby-lubs, Goose, Boose, Sleuce, Shoo-sey, Shoo-by, Baby Girl, Bubby, Bubba, The Naughty One. Lulu is her main nickname though and I use that the most.

Angel: Closer (her 1st night she couldn't possibly snuggle closer to me), Ange (long A), Angey, Angey-pangey, Angelly, Gelly Bean, Gelly Belly, Angel-lean, Angeline, Piglet, Big Rig, Riggy, Piggy Riggy, Bigs, Brown-headed Dog. I probably call her Ange and Piglet the most.

 

[Oko]

Oh yes and for Feist, Grunty Pig. Forgot that one.

Maddie is mostly Moo and sometimes Stink. Now that she can't hear I haven't been calling her too many nicknames. We try to communicate non-verbally . Sometimes I call her Sweetie like, "come 'ere sweetie" spoiled rotten dog lol

I call Bailey Bay or Bays a lot. Sometimes leelee. And pretty often I call her Dope :rofl1: or psycho-dog
Oh sometimes I call her Bree... Because one of the names I considered naming here as Breagha, but it didn't stick

 

[Snark]

Don't have a lot of nicknames for the dogs (or cats)...

Riley is usually called Stripey Dawg (and answers to that), also Riley Roo and Little Man.

Mick's actual name is Michaleen, but I usually only call him that when he's out of sight on a walk or around the house and I want him to come. For some reason, yelling three syllables works better for me than just yelling one syllable. He's also known as Little Boy and sometimes MickMickMick (along the lines of the camel saying Mike, Mike, Mike on the Geico humpday commercial)

Murphy is usually Murph or Murph-Murph. Also Big Guy. Murph and Mick are collectively called 'Fluffy Dawgs'.

Purrl Bailey (oldest cat) is Bailey, the Bailmeister, or, more commonly, The Criminal (she has no remorse for any of her crimes).

 

[AmandaNola]

Nola has a plethora of nicknames, but most frequently used are: B, Bean, Noly, Bugs, Boo and Beast (in that order). She gets called her actual name and B most frequently.

Other nicknames: Bitch, Little Kielbasa, Tiny Terror, Teckel, Deckel, Weenie, Cheeeee-wawa-dog (said just like that. Long story), **** Head, Diva, Camera *****, Miss Nola, Buggy, Bug-a-Boo, Noly Canoli, Crazy, Beast Child, Devil Dog, Tasmanian Devil.

 

[Paviche]

I forgot a couple! Rowan is also Grunty McGrunterson, Grumpy McGrumperson, The Grumpus, Smooshy Dog and Puppy Lumpkins.

 

[RottenFlower]

Nat is Noodle, Pupperdogs or Natty Girl.

StiXxX is Wii-Man, Stickyboy or Doodle.

Zellie is Lew, Lewis, ZellieBells or Bells. I most commonly call her Lew or Lewis; my SO calls her Bells. The cleaning guy at my old work called her Sally.

Kaia is Pretty Girl, Kai-Kai or Kai. Or Dumb Face.

 

[LostAndConfused]

I obviously need more random nicknames for Hudson.

Generally, he's Hudson. Occasionally, he is Huddy. Baby Dog or Baby Boy are pretty common. It gets really confusing if someone is talking to my nephew, since they also call him Baby Boy and Hudson comes running.


If I'm talking about him to someone, Black, White, and XXX a lot. XXX is usually either Crazy or Fuzzy, sometimes it's Tailless

Sometimes he gets called Bouncy or Sir Bounce-a-lot.

ETA - He also gets called Creepy/Creeper a log

 

[frostfell]

Hello Kitty is Kitty, Kittypie, Piepie, Kittypotamus or just 'potamus, Hakkikt Pyanfar! (when shes naughty), Ma'am, and Tweedle Dee

Atoli is Tori, Baby Munchkin, Tweedle Dumb, Mini/Mini Twubboo, The Lesser/Lesser Twubboo, TheTrindleWhoIsTrouble

Mostly in a day to day sense they are Piepie and Mini

 

[Lyzelle]

Zander

Zane, Zaner, Zaner-Waner, Waner, Wane, Dog, The Waner, As.shole Dog, It's a Zaner and a Waner at the Same Time(BeAu, reasons), Pup, Puppy, PupPup, GrumpPup, Grumpy Old Man, Greyface

 

[Assamiea]

Baxter gets Bax most of the time but he also gets Booze, Pooms, Baxter McSnackster, Fatso and Faxter by my cousins 3 year old son, boo boo and "OMG I'm going to kill you!"

Rocky gets Rockster, Rods, my baby, toto and Otto (by my mom) and limpy (when his knee acts up).

 

[TexasRanger]

Abby: Apple Dapple, Pretzel Dog, Small Brown Dog, Cashew.
Deputy: Big Brindle, Deep Dog.
Zane: The Little Brindle, Small Whinny Dog.

 

[noludoru]

Midnight: Middie, Moo, Stupid, Dumbass, Asshole, You Little Moron, WTFDog.

He deserves his names.

 

[Torch]

Henry is the Pea. Short for Peabody. Sometimes Mr. Pea.

Rhys is Reeses or Rhysy.

 

[Paige]

Bandit's nickname has changed over the years. Now it is just "B".... and I think most people assume his name is BumbleBee and it has just been shortened to Bee because I have had people ask several times.:lol-sign:

 

[srghc8]

Both the dogs here go by nicknames more than their actual names.
Greta: Gret Gret, fuzzbutt, fuzzface, goofy, doofus, fatty
Odin: Odie, Lurch, big, droolie

 

[AussieAshley]

Radar gets called Radar about half of the time, mostly in public at home is often Minion or Bubs.

Desoto gets 'grumpy dog' a lot, also Piggy or Angel occasionally.

 

[Jare]

Nellie is just Nellie Belly, Nell Bell, Nell, or "come here, stupid".

Aija has a million, and I always have a hard time typing her nicknames they way they are pronounced. Even though her name is said like "Asia" I will exaggerate the spelling when taking to her and call her AYYY JAHHH!, I almost always try to call her Nellie so Naija (Nasia)has become a normal, Aijeeeee!, and then I will super shorten it and just call her "Aij" like, Asia without the "uh" sound at the end.

My coworker just got a puppy and had named her Déjà Vu and it will be a confusing day if they're ever in the same room together, because the puppy is commonly just called Déjà which rhymes with Aija.
