An In Series Nickname is not a [[Fan Nickname]]; although it can frequently be used as such. Instead, it is a nickname specifically given in-series, not even by the producers alone. It is always regarded as canon. Often given out by [[The Nicknamer]]. If done enough this may overlap with [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] or [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]. See also [[Sobriquet]]

Line 59:
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Kotetsu immediately takes to calling Barnaby "Bunny" after their first outing as a superhero duo. Because you hop about and have long ears (referring to the antennae on Barnaby's [[Powered Armor]]) like a cute little rabbit! At first he just does it to annoy Barnaby, but it becomes an affectionate nickname once he starts to acknowledge him as his partner.
* Merry Nightmare from ''[[Yumekui Merry]]'' is also known as, well... [[Character Title|Yumekui/Dream Eater Merry]].
* In ''[[
* ''[[The World God Only Knows]]''' Keima, ''very'' well-known among gamers he's known as "The Capturing [[A God Am I|God]]," was also predictably nicknamed "[[Otaku|ota]][[Megane]]" by his [[Real Life]] classmates. Crunchyroll's subs translated it to "dweeb," which is culturally accurate, if a bit lacking in creativity.
* Ami and Mami have one for almost everyone on the main cast in the anime version of ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]''.
Line 102:
* [[Judge Dredd (comics)|Judge Dredd]] is often referred to by other characters as "Old Stonyface".
* ''[[Bookhunter]]'': "Kettle Stitch" is the Library Police's nickname for the book thief they're hunting; so called because their high-quality forgery (left behind to hide the fact that the theft occurred at all) used a kettle stitch to bind the leaflets, rather than the common catch stitch.

* On ''[[NYC 22]]'' four of the main cast have these starting from day one. Best one, though, is the rookies' Field Training Officer, Sgt. Daniel Dean, who really hates being called "Yoda".
* On ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', Jack O'Neill often calls [[Puppeteer Parasite|Goa'uld symbiotes]] "snakes". Except for Teal'c's, which got the nickname "Junior".
