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 ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'', Touma gives [[Shock and Awe|Misaka Mikoto]] the nickname "Biri Biri", which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for an electrical discharge. The dub has him call her "Zapper".
* ''[[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]]''.
