        Do you have nicknames for your bunnies ? Or any other animals in your life? My bunnies are called Peanut and Buttercup but they have an array of nicknames between them. The most common ones though; for Peanut is Destructo-bunny as he likes to dig and scratch at things – thankfully it’s usually appropriate rabbit-y things although he tried digging up the carpet earlier  Buttercup’s nickname is Monkey because she is a very cheeky bunny. 

        My Mum’s German Shepherds also have nicknames – Nala is Nala Bear and Violet’s nickname is Crazy Bear

          Yep!! Winter is Winnie, Win, Wint, and things like that.

          Licorice is Lickie (Lic-e?? Dunno how to spell that), Hoppers (as named by my cousin and his brother – they’re in love with him!), and Thumper. Licorice thumps when he’s happy, not when he’s scared. It’s odd.

            I call Reese: Bunbers, Boppy, Boppers, Stinker, Reesie piece-ie, booper, etc. I babysat my aunt’s rabbit Buttercup, and the whole time we were watching him we called him “Buttsie” because he was not fixed and was territorial and mean.

              I very rarely call my buns by their real names. I have lots of nicknames that change and evolve. They are often very strange and my husband thinks I’m insane. Bindi’s probably had like a 100 in the 9 years or so I’ve had him.

              Current, nicknames:

              Bindi Loo- Fluffy, Fwuffs, Fluffems, BooBoo Bear,

              Sterling- Big Boy, Handsome, Terling, Terly

                Haha, oh yes. We have lots of nicknames at our house.

                Luna: Luna-bun, Luna-bug, Loo-Loo, Greedy Guts, Gobble Guts, Yoda, Sweetheart, Miss Destructobun, and “hey don’t chew that”

                Apollo: Mr bun bun, Snuggle bun, Cuddle butt, Baby boy, Fluffykins, Fuzz butt and probably some others I’m forgetting.

                Dory: Miss Squawkerton, Devil Bird, Dory Pory, Dor-Dor-Dor (it’s a sound she makes), Squeaker.

                I’m probably forgetting a lot

                  Yes, and same as LPT said, it often evolves.

                  Mostly it’s terms of endearment for all of them, or “Hey, Brat!”.
                  But some that have stuck are:
                  Rumball – BumBum or RumBum
                  Potamus – Mishy Moosh
                  TimTim – Timbu or Tikki-Timbu
                  Gooseman – Goosey
                  I haven’t really got a specific one for Ailís. I normally just say Darling or Missy.

                    Sampras was originally named Mr. Bojangles, but the name Pete was given to him as a house joke and it turned out it stuck, so he became Pete Sampras the Tennis player…and now we just call him Sampras or Samp.

                    Yumi was named Mini when I got her-but that’s my dogs name, so we changed her to Mellon (elvish for ‘friend’) but she kept getting called Melonhead (mostly by me if I’m honset-I still call her it) which prompted me to change her name to something less harsh, making her Yumigami (lord of the Bow-in reference to Sampras’ original name)
                    But her name is just shortened to Yumi (meaning beautiful and friend) and then I just call her Yu (friend) or yum(sounds like room but with a Y)

                    And my dog is called mini, but Ive always called her Mouse(Cause she’s like a little mouse)

                    She will only respond to the name Mouse if it’s me calling her by it. Everyone else has to use her proper name (obviously she just thinks Im the special human!)
                    My late hedgehogs real name was McNipNip but we all just called her Ditto!
                    And then my rooster is named Sir Buzzkillington the Third, shortened to Buzz.

                    Actually I could probably keep doing this until Christmas the amount of bizarre names getting shortened and forgotten resulting in permanent changes that have happened in my house….

                                Theodore gets mainly Theo, Mr Theo or theodorus/theodorusrex. Quite often these days he gets greeted as grumpy bum or demon bunny haha! We’ll not go into that though lol. He gets ‘wee man’ a lot too (wee is the ultimate term of endearment in Ireland )

                                                          oh yes. charlie is always called “char char”, “char”, “char baby” or the most embarrassing one “mamas baby” – not sure how that happened but it just came out and is probably my most used nickname for him.

                                                            I began by nicknaming Patton “The General” but that wasn’t short enough I guess so I usually call him “Big Guy” or “Big Stuff”. He’s a French Lop after all

                                                              If you ask Cinder, she’ll probably tell you her nickname is “Damnit.” As in, “Damnit, stop digging at my door, please. Damnit, can’t you make that mess INSIDE your new XPen?”

                                                              Wouldn’t trade her for the world.

My rabbits name is “Severus”, technically her full name is “Severus Snape” (yes Harry Potter reference). Her nickname is “goober”. My cat’s name is “Cudi” (yes Kid Cudi reference) and I call him “Cudders”. My parents cats also have nicknames, my moms cat’s is “Jena’s cat” and his brother’s nick name is “Fefe” (pronounced saying “e” as the letter E) I don’t know how it came up, maybe something to do with him being cross eyed, lol.
