Line 58:
* In ''[[Bakuman｡]]'', Nanamine gets the nickname "Usomine" (typically translated as "Liarmine") from his contributors after they suspect, correctly, that he's lying to them about {{spoiler|how badly his series is doing in the rankings}}.
** Also Mashiro's middle school colleagues often call him "Saikou", which is an [[Alternate Character Reading|alternate reading]] of his name "Moritaka". When Takagi starts to use this nickname regularly, Mashiro starts calling Takagi "Shuujin", which is an alternate reading of Takagi's name "Akito".
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Kotetsu immediately takes to calling Barnaby "Bunny" after their first outing as a superhero duo.

* In ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'', Touma gives [[Shock and Awe|Misaka Mikoto]] the nickname Biri Biri, which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for an electrical discharge.
* ''[[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.

* [[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.
* ''[[Peanuts]]'' has "Sweet Baboo", Sally's puppy love nickname for Linus. [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Linus is not amused.]]▼
** Sally also refers to her big brother Charlie Brown as... 'Big Brother.'▼
** 'Peppermint' Patty calls Charlie Brown "Chuck" and Lucy "Lucille." There is also '[[Only Known by Their Nickname|Pigpen]]'.▼
