Yep -

Zamba is Zug Zug (as am I these days on DOL) - 12 years ago my husband wanted this to be her real name but the rest of the family said "NO!", but it stuck nonetheless

Pasha is Harry (because he's hairy)

My daughter's dog Arya is 'Roafy Roaf' because when she was young she stole a 'Roaf' of bread and looked very silly while holding it, as if she was saying 'look at my roafy roaf'

It's the really silly things that stick with you :)

Of course they all get called 'little buddy' and 'sweetheart'

funny but mine have changed since we've been fostering and there has been more proper name useage. the little foster girl, a shar pei we have has always had lots of nicknames.

dimples - pimples, doodle-bug, baby girl, bubby girl, noodle, dumpling, wrinkle face, whiny girl, mona, dilly and a wole heap of actual cantonese names that represent her origins and characteristics like li-lui which means strong girl or chi-long-gou which sort of means wrinkle face dog or ling-ling which means sound x 2. we also have sorr-mihn which means silly noodle. worrying noodle would suit her more but i haven't translated and checked that one yet! i figured she should know some of her native language.

the only name she responds to is dimples though. she reckons the rest mean dinner is now served.

Old Emma (when she was around) got: Miss Emma and pretty much that was all she ever needed!!

Oliver: Bubba (which he answers to with as much regularity as his name!)

Poppet: used to get Stinky Minky when he was a baby, now he just gets Little One!

:laugh: I noticed a few Boobies!

I posted mine in the other thread (that was nearly a year ago?? :eek: ) but will go again, they've probably changed a bit. Here are the current popular ones:

Saxon - Saxxy, Saxamaphone, fluffhead, scruffhead, scruffy, cuteness

Riley - Rileypants, Rileyface, pointyface, fluffhead, burpy

Quinn - Boofhead, boofy, Quinny, Quinny Quinston, Missy

Charlie (the cat) - Puddin, furry, furry purry

ETA - the dogs seem to know some of their nicknames but they know all of Charlie's plus his real name, and if I mention any of them they run off looking for him :laugh:

We call our two a variety of silly nicknames, collectively they are known as the Goons, for my hubby's last Birthday I had a calligram made of the two of them - he is really hard to buy gifts for and I thought it would make a nice pressie. The lady making it asked for thirty words for each dog comprising of their nicknames, descriptive words about them, their habits and any other quirks I could think of. My initial thoughts were no way, I'll never come up with that many. Ended up having to cull the list, this was the result - soooo many silly names. :laugh:

Tinny: Ding dong or just plain old Tin.

Harri: Hazza, Haz, Buddy, Spazz, Roughie, Roughnut, Harri Ho, Yo Ho.

Luna: Loop, Loopy, Lulu, Noodle, Loopy lu.

One of my cats gets Gingernuts, well because where his uh 'nuts' used to be is ginger :laugh:.
