General Discussion

I have a Siamese cat named Mia, a California kingsnake named Mr. Oreo, a high contrast albino ball python named Princess Cupcake, and a Pacific gopher snake named Xoey.

I often call Mia "Kitten" or "Babooshka." I have no idea why. She is a young cat so Kitten is appropriate, but I guess Babooshka is just a funny and cute word and I find myself using it constantly. I don't have any consistent nicknames for Mr. Oreo other than "Baby Boy." For Princess Cupcake I'll call her "Cup" for short, or "Cuppycake," "Fatty McFatterson," or most commonly, "Buttcheek" cuz her cheeks are so bubbly. For Xoey (pronounced Zoey), it's "Xo-Xo", the "Xo-inator," "Potato Face," or "Xoey Bear" (cuz her dark eyes and light face give her a teddy bear look, especially from the front).

What stupid nicknames do you call your animals?

Don't be ashamed, we are all guilty.

awww, snakes! Love them noodles [emoji=spiral laughing size=1] I have many arthropods (roaches, isopods, stick bugs, etc.) that don’t have names since it’s hard to tell individuals apart, but I’ve got a female Pac-Man frog named Jimmy Buffett’s Cheeseburger in Paradise! I affectionately call her “Cheeseburger“ or “Borger” if she’s good (being cute, being a good eater) or “James” if she’s naughty (refusing to eat, trying to eat my hand, ruining her live plants, trying to escape the tank).

That's so adorable! Frogs are awesome. I used to have them when I was little but I'm thinking about getting into them again in the near future.

my cat's name is Guppy so I like to just say his name in many silly ways..... Gumby, Gubby, Gerby, Gibby, Gimby, and Gobby are my favorites haha

My family has two cats, an calico named Snickers and an orange tabby named Lion. Usually if I don't call Snickers by her name, I'll call her Wubbles/Madam Wubbles, and that's about all we really use for her for now. Lion on the other hand... he gets a lot of nicknames from me involving "boy", like Big Boy, Mr. Boy, Buddy Boy, etc, although I've also called him Long Man, Mr. Yodels, and never directly to him, but we call him the cowardly lion sometimes because he's very easily scared.

I have a dog that we named "Sandy" because she's light-brown-sand-colored and because she was covered in sand when we adopted her. I like calling her "Sandy Sand", "Sandy Sandygast", "SanDEE" (instead of "SANDy) "Princess" (Because she's delicate-but-aloof, like a princess), "My Small" (not very accurate), "My Big" (a more accurate descriptor), "Woof" (although she rarely barks) and "Squeak" (a more common vocalization from her). Also "Naughty Boot Thief"

My brothers and I call one of our cats Crinkle Cut Yowler, because he’s the color of crinkle cut fries and quite the yeller. His name is Ginger, but we also call him Gingey-Wingey, Mr. Fatty-fat-fat, Big Boy, Floor Tile (he’s the color of our floor tiles) and Baby Boy
