Line 20:
** Kyoraku refers to General Yamamoto as 'Yama-jii' (old man Yama)
* Tohma is called "Tonma" by Masaru in the original Japanese ''[[Digimon Savers]]''.
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', Pegasus gives several characters the nickname of "____-boy" based on their name (Yugi-boy, Kaiba-boy, Dukie-boy).
** And in the Japanese version of [[The Movie]], he shows that the nickname has a female variant when he calls Anzu (Téa) "Anzu-girl".
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.

{{quote|'''Mike Nelson:''' What's up, Mother-of-Pearl?
'''Pearl Forrester:''' I give the nicknames around here Nel... son. }}
** Pearl called Crow "Art", which was actually an [[In
** TV's Frank called Dr. Clayton Forrester "Steve" for no particular reason at all. There was massive debate among MSTies over whether it was some obscure pop culture reference until [[Word of God]] from Frank Conniff confirmed that it was just a random gag.
* On ''[[Homicide: Life On the Street]]'' Stanley Bolander was universally known as "Big Man" and everyone called Lt Giardello "Gee." The latter might seem like a simple contraction of his surname, but it actually came from what he said on his first murder scene.
Line 181:
* Faith from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' refers to Buffy as just B sometimes. [[Badass Longcoat|Spike]] calls Dawn "Little Bit" and "Niblet". Other characters frequently shorten Willow to just Will.
** Spike, (whose real name is William), has nicknames for almost everyone. He calls Angel "Peaches", Willow "Red", Xander "The Whelp", Anya "Demon-Girl", and so forth. He calls Buffy "Slayer", "pet", and "love", but these probably don't count, as she simply is the Slayer, and "pet" and "love" are used as pretty standard slang.
* Most of the cast of ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' have nicknames. Ben "Hawkeye" Pierce came with his when he arrived in the unit; his father gave it to him, after ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]''. Walter O'Reilly became "Radar" because of his extraordinary ability to detect arriving helicopters and anticipate the needs/whims of his supervisor.
** See also: Frank "Ferretface" Burns, "Trapper" John McIntyre, Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, Oliver "Spearchucker" Jones, and "Ugly John" Black
* Berta of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' calls Alan "Zippy", possibly referring to the fact that he's always running under stress.
Line 328:
** 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).
