Guest Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi unuscornu Hi :) Most of these nicknames are making the names longer! With lots of goo goo gaga endings :p I'm glad that we all seem to be of the consensus that nicknames are harmless and really just a bit of fun.

Weasels Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well there you go... Weas I had no idea your dogs were actually called Chelsea and Diesel! I thought they were actually Weasel and Fox Well Chelsea and Diesel are the names they had in their respective shelters and on their paperwork, they don't actually get called their 'real' names much I think we overcompensated for not giving them their original names by giving them a whole bunch of nicknames :D I stlli introduce my girl as Chelsea tho because if I say 'Chess' people think I am saying 'Jess' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 My old boy already has a really short name (Kiff) so instead gets called things like Snausage, Fatty-fat-fat-fat-fat or, when referring to him and the other dogs, "the goonhounds" (because their intelligence seems to drop with every greyhound added to the group). Sally was already named Sally when she came to us and even though I didn't like the name, I never got around to changing it. She gets called random nouns with "Sally" added to the start- "Sallycow", "Sallyhound", "Sallyboots", "Sallytardwhojustpukedgrassonmyshoe". Whew! I'm not the only one who uses not-so-nice nicknames. Bonza, the naughty but cuddly one, goes to Bombza, Bomb, Stinky (due to a memorable incident) to Stink Bomb, as well as Rat, Little Rat, Stinky Rat, SweetiePie, MudPie, and BonBon, to name a few. Jarrah, who has little sense of humor and rarely misbehaves, just gets Jehr-Jehr or Sweetie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niques Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 James is called many things: Bear (including Baby Bear) Puppy/Pup Jamie (-Bear, -Boy) Jam Smelly Bum/Dog Baby Boy A woman in a dog park once started calling him Jimmy. She was then concerned that he wouldn't listen to her. I couldn't get the "wtf" expression off my face long enough to explain that he's a DOG and doesn't know that Jimmy is a diminuitive of James :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
