Line 46:
** Sheryl Nome's is "The Galactic Fairy"
** Ranka Lee's is "Super Dimension Cinderella"
* ''[[Durarara]]'' fans are fond of making use of [[The Nicknamer|Izaya]]'s infantilizing nicknames for his "friends" -- therefore, Shizuo and Kadota find themselves called Shizu-chan (or its loose translation Shizzy) and Dotachin quite a bit outside of the series proper.
* In ''[[Chrome Shelled Regios]]'', Layfon is nicknamed "Layton" by a trio of girls he meets, because it's apparently easier to pronounce. Felli gets jealous when she hears this and decides to call him "Fon-fon". When Layfon objects, she [[Crowning Moment of Funny|runs through several variations of nicknames ("Lay-kun, Lay-chan, Lay-cchi, Senko no Lay...")]] before he finally just accepts Fon-fon.
* In ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'', Ryouhei Sumi is called "Pei". Likewise, Miki has been called "Chief" by Ryouhei due to her being the chief mechanic for the first 3 series.
Line 76:
** His girlfriends frequently called him "Petey", although MJ is well-known for calling him "Tiger". In the 1970s she sometimes also called him "Browneyes".
*** Other Spider-Man nicknames include "JJJ" for J. Jonah Jameson, "MJ" for Mary Jane, "Robbie" for Joe Robertson, "Doc Ock" for Doctor Octopus, "[[Only Known by Their Nickname|Flash]]" for Eugene Thompson, and "Mayday" for [[Spider-Girl|Spidey's alternate-reality daughter May]].
* Some nicknames from [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]: [[Iron Man]] is "Shellhead", [[The Mighty Thor]] is "Goldilocks", the [[Incredible Hulk]] sometimes is "Jade-Jaws", [[Captain America (comics)]] is "Cap" or "Winghead".
* [[Daredevil]] is "Hornhead".
* From the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]:
Line 159:
* Thirteen, on ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''.
** Can't forget Amber "Cutthroat Bitch" Volakis.
* In ''[[The X-Files]]'', Mulder, by others in the FBI, is known as "Spooky" Mulder, though not originally for his work in the paranormal. Originally, the nickname referred to Mulder's incredible profiling skills when he was in the Academy, and when he worked in the VCU.
** And let's not forget the nickname the FBI gave Scully after she started working with Mulder: "Mrs. Spooky."
* Bones... both [[Bones|Dr. Temperance Brennan]] and [[Star Trek|Dr. Leonard McCoy]].
Line 284:
* While being called [[Sempai-Kohai|senpai]] is easily an [[Japanese Honorifics|honorific]] for the [[Persona 4]] main character, he is called 'Sensei' by Teddie simply for his coolness factor. His [[The Lancer|Lancer]] Yosuke calls him "Partner".
* In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]],'' Mario earns the name "The Great Gonzales" as his fighting name in the [[Inevitable Tournament|Glitz Pit.]] Even after he stops being a Glitz Pit fighter, his Yoshi partner continues to call him "Gonzales." Then again, he ''was'' quite literally hatched in the pit, as he points out when saying goodbye to Mario in the ending.
* Each of the three main characters in ''[[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good and Evil]]'' has a canon nickname. Jade's is "Shauni," after her [[Reporting Names|IRIS callsign.]] Double H's is "Hub," which the people of IRIS call him and may or may not be his real name. Pey'j's, which he gets only late-game, is {{spoiler|"Chief," because he ''is.''}}
* Dr. Herbert Higginbotham from ''[[Little Big Planet]] 2'' is also known as "Halitosis Herbert".
* Subverted by Otacon and Solid Snake in the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' games. Most everyone uses those names for them, as they are their official code names. The depth of their friendship is shown in the fact that they sometimes refer to each other by their ''real names'' -- Hal and Dave, respectively.
Line 323:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Toph]] likes to give nicknames to her friends. Most of them are one-offs but her nickname for Aang, "Twinkletoes", sticks.
** And let's not forget Azula's much-despised nickname for her brother, "Zuzu."
* On ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'', Edd is usually called "Double-D" to avoid confusion with Ed. Eddy gives Edd the more derisive "Sockhead", while Ed is "Lumpy".
** Rolph rarely calls any characters by their real names. The Eds are often called "____ Ed Boy" by him. Nazz is also either referred to as "Spindleshanks Nazz-Girl" or "Go Go Nazz Girl". Kevin also calls Jimmy "Fluffy".
** The protagonists are rarely called by their full names; Eddward, Edward, and Edward.
* In ''[[All Grown Up]]'', Tommy, Chuckie, and Dil all call each other by the initial of their first name (T, C, D). Phil does this as well though nobody calls him P.
* Skipper from ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' calls King Julien "Ringtail" and Mort "Sad-eyes".
* Colleen from ''[[Road Rovers]]'' calls Hunter "Hunty-wunty" and gives Blitz various silly nicknames like "Chester Chubbycheeks" and "Stuffington Fluffypants" ("Fluffy" for short).
* "[[Damsel in Distress|Danger-Prone Daphne]]" of ''[[Scooby Doo]]''.
* On ''[[Daria]],'' practically everyone calls Michael Mackenzie "Mack." One exception is his best friend [[The Ditz|Kevin]], who calls him "Mack-Daddy." [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Mack finds that one rather annoying]].
** Another example is Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III.
** There is also the Lane siblings' [[Affectionate Nickname]] for their youngest sister "Janie."
