Fan Nickname | comment |
A name given to something, such as a character, by fan communities. It is sometimes possible to read an entire forum about a show and never see a direct reference to the scripted name. A natural result if the producers take too long in providing a character with an official name. Sometimes fan communities give nicknames to entire groups of characters if the series doesn't already give a name. Anime fans often use [Main Character]-tachi, meaning "the group associated with [Main Character]." Another option is -gumi, meaning "[Main Character]'s (metaphorical) troop." These can also be applied in jest to Western fandoms: Harry-tachi, Frodo-gumi, etcetera. Note that these aren't specifically limited to characters. Common sets, props, and special effects can also earn nicknames from the fans. Even (parts of) the series itself can be referred to with a nickname. Works suffering from Recycled Title syndrome often have a fan nickname to avoid confusion. Also, in series that sequels are numbered, the first is often nicknamed with a Title 1 when it officially doesn't have it. See also In-Series Nickname and Red Baron (when the characters do this). Sub-tropes are: Idiosyncratic Ship Naming (a Shipping sub-trope) Lady Mondegreen Portmanteau Couple Name (a Shipping sub-trope) Portmanteau Series Nickname Not to be confused with Fan Community Nicknames, which are names for the communities themselves. Actual canon nicknames used onscreen, however witty, also don't count, unless they were adopted by the producers as a Shout-Out to the fans, or are used far more extensively in the fandom than in-Canon. Also compare Canon Name, which is a Fan Nickname applied to a nameless hero who was given that name in adaptations, and I Am Not Shazam, where a character is mistakenly called the name of the work. Ascended Fan Nickname is a Sub-Trope where a fan nickname becomes an In-Series Nickname or is otherwise used in official material (e.g. advertising). |

Noonbory and the Super 7 has some variant thereof. The entire series is called Tooba Tooba Noonbory in South Korea, not just the second season, but Western fans usually refer to the first season as Noonbory and the Super 7 and the second as Tooba Tooba Noonbory for the sake of convenience. They're different enough due to a Genre Shift. | |

We're Alive: After the "Little Ones" "grew up" fans began referring to them as either "Inklings" or "ADLOs" (A Fun with Acronyms Advanced Little Ones) Ink himself is a Fan Nickname for the lead zombie, who is covered in tattoos and wears a blue, pin-striped suit. Most fans assume him to be Bill Roberts (whose nickname was Ink). Datu's ability to fix just about anything has led to him being dubbed "King Datu the Resourceful." |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): One fan-given nickname for Monster X, which the author herself used in the Chapter 9 author notes, is Grahamdorah. Another popular nickname, analogously based on one of Ghidorah's Red Barons, is the Two Who Are One. Though it isn't used In-Universe, San's alternate movie-canon name Kevin is used by the author and some reviewers at times. Speaking of San, the Alternate Self who's been regenerated alongside Ichi and Ni as Ghidorah re-forms From a Single Cell has earned the nickname San-2 since reviewer SyfyGuy2 first used it, to distinguish him from Vivienne's brother. The infant Manda has earned the nickname Baby Noodle. |

Gerik, Movie!Erik, Movie!Phantom - All are commonly used to identify the version from the Andrew Lloyd Webber movie adaptation despite how many movie versions actually exist. The first name is a portmanteau of the name of the actor who portrayed the titular character and said character's actual name despite it never being said once in either the stage or movie version. Third-degree sunburn - The phantom's "deformity" in the ALW movie. The Dread Pirate Roberts Dancers - the background dancers in the "Point of No Return" scene in the ALW movie. Usually somewhat derogatory. |

Advice and Trust: Many commenters on Sufficient Velocity have taken to calling Kaworu "Rainbow Trout," due to Strypgia's description of what Rei sees when she looks at him. Said name is always written out in rainbow text. Rei is also occasionally referred to as TsundeRei, which gave birth to one of their two ship names, TsundeReinbowTrout. | |

Channel Awesome: Kickassia: N. Bison, as a result of him being the Nostalgia Critic dressed as M. Bison. The Nostalgia Chick's Sarah Palin persona is known as "Nostalgia Palin". The Critic's Japanese fandom (yes, it does exist) has nicknamed the Chick "Nosuko", combining a Japanese contraction of "Nostalgia" with a common Japanese female name ending. The name "Ask That Guy" probably counts too, as to distinguish him from Doug's handle That Guy With The Glasses. "Tigwatig" for thatguywiththeglasses.com, aka TGWTG. Atop the Fourth Wall 'Meg the Magic Gun Girl' for the girl whose soul is inside Linkara's magic gun. Linkara's Power Rangers costume has earned the nickname "Pimpkara". |

My Little Pony: See Western Animation for terms specific to, or used interchangeably with the cartoons. Fakie: A toy not made by Hasbro but made to look like a My Little Pony. Bait: A pony that's so badly damaged that it's only good for customization. Nirvana: Ponies of international origin. Argie: Ponies made in or exclusive to Argentina. Generation Zero (G0): My Pretty Pony, the precursor to the original "G1" incarnation. Original 6: The original six ponies from the first year of the series – Blossom, Bluebelle, Butterscotch, Cotton-Candy, Minty, and Snuzzle. Core 7: Also known as the "Core Ponies". The late G3 change to focus on, and only release, seven ponies - Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Cheerilee, Toola Roola, StarSong, and Sweetie Belle. Princess Rinse 'N' Spit: An infamous bootleg pony that goes by the canon name of just "Pretty Pony". She's well-known for her large, vaguely horse-like teeth. Dream Beauty Celestia: The large talking Celestia toy, referred to as thus because it is the same size as ponies from the G1 Dream Beauties subline. Also sometimes known as "Hasbrolestia". Also derogatorily called "Pinklestia", for obvious reasons. Granted, this name applies to every Celestia toy out there except for the Limited-Run white Talking Celestia. Earthling: A term for non-unicorn and non-pegasus ponies (AKA, "normal" ponies). It's been displaced with "earth pony" since G3. Unipeg: Prior to G4, this was the most common term for a Winged Unicorn. It's since been replaced with "alicorn". |

Dream himself is often called "Green Boy" in both an affectionate and derogatory sense (depending on the context), most famously used by Wilbur Soot in L'Manburg's "Decree of Independance" [sic] on the Dream SMP.note The derogatory sense usually refers to Dream's character in the roleplay, who is, to summarize, an abusive, controlling, and overall despicable Serial Killer with a god complex. | |

The Merchant of Venice contains—depending on which version of the script you're reading—either two guys named Salerio and Solanio or two guys named Salarino and Solanio and a third guy, a messenger, named Salerio. Either way, these two (or three) characters have long been known to actors as "the Sallies" or "the Salads". | |

In Dilbert, a talking cat was introduced for a few appearances. Fans dubbed him "Catbert" (after "Dogbert" and "Ratbert") in their requests for more of the character, and Scott Adams, deciding that whenever fans spontaneously and independently name a character for you suggested you were on to something, adopted the name officially and made Catbert a recurring character as the Human Resources Manager at Dilbert's work place. We've never learned Dilbert's mother's real name, but she's commonly referred to by fans as "the Dilmom". |

In the Supernatural fandom, Misha Collins is sometimes referred to as MishMish or "The Overlord". He encourages the latter. Jared Padalecki has accumulated several over the show's fifteen-year run, but his most common ones are Moose, Padamoose, and Puppy. His first son Thomas was known as Padababy for a time, but this has fallen away as Thomas gained two more siblings in favor of just calling them by their names. Jensen Ackles' then-unborn daughter, Justice Jay (shortened to "JJ" by her parents) was nicknamed Princess Ackles for a time. |

The Slender Man Mythos: The Slender Man, paragon of nightmares and source of paranoia, is affectionately referred to as "Slendy". And in the Slendy-inspired web series Marble Hornets, totheark/Masked Man, a silent man in a creepy theatre mask who attacks, stalks, and watches the protoganist sleep at night, is generally referred to simply as "Masky". The second Masky, introduced in Entry #41, has been frequently nicknamed either "Hoody" or "Blasky". The boys of Marble Hornets themselves have become known in some circles as "the Wifers." While Tim's sideburns are affectionately known as the Suttonchops. |

Dream: In one of the Minecraft Manhunts, Sapnap is given the fan nickname "Sapitus Napitus" because Dream called him that while chasing him in "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 3 Hunters" (7:45). Dream and his friends GeorgeNotFound and Sapnap are called by fans the Dream Team. Dream himself is often called "Green Boy" in both an affectionate and derogatory sense (depending on the context), most famously used by Wilbur Soot in L'Manburg's "Decree of Independance" [sic] on the Dream SMP.note The derogatory sense usually refers to Dream's character in the roleplay, who is, to summarize, an abusive, controlling, and overall despicable Serial Killer with a god complex. |

A number of members (although it was sparked by the character's handler) have begun to refer to Bobby Jacks as 'Bocelot' due to performing an Offhand Backshoot on another character (and hitting him in the head).

The Undertale fan AU Underfell generally has two varieties depending on how seriously the user takes the verse: There's "Fell" for when its played straight (e.g. fell!Frisk, fell!Flowey, etc.) Then there's "Edge" for the more humorous interpretation. Sans is sometimes called "Edge" when he is crossed over with other versions of himself in the staple Undertale multiverses. |

Two Autobots with this gimmick could combine together into a single super robot, with one forming the upper body and the other forming the lower body, and every Transformer with the gimmick had both an upper body ("shirt") mode and a lower body ("pants") mode (in addition to the standard robot and vehicle modes). | |

The Pony POV Series has a couple of examples in Dark World. First, fans took to calling Dark World!Applebloom "Saint Applebloom" because of her characterization in that timeline (which eventually became Ascended Fanon). Later on, when Nightmare Eclipse/Paradox first reveals herself, but before we learn her name, fans took to calling her Nightmare Ouroboros and Nightmare Encore; the first for the recurring motif in her reveal, and the latter for her plan. | |

In Armageddon (1998), Bruce Willis's character says that NASA undoubtedly has a crew of guys "just sitting around thinking shit up". These guys... the crew that sits around thinking shit up, are known as the "Steely Eyed Missile Men" for their ability to coolly and calmly think up technological solutions to the hardest problems on Earth or in Space. Being called a 'Steely-Eyed Missile Man' is the absolute highest of NASA compliments; those 'guys that sit around thinking shit up' are the very best at what they do, so being counted among their ranks means you've really impressed people. And only the best of those people, the ones who come through under incredible pressure, get to be called "steely-eyed missile men." Making a correct decision with incomplete data under incredible pressure is the mark of a Steely-Eyed Missile Man. During Challenger mission STS-51-F (six months before the ill-fated 51-L mission), the center engine went down in the only in-flight engine failure in the Shuttle program, after two temperature sensors went off-scale high (indicating overheat), causing the only in-flight abort (an abort-to-orbit, in which the shuttle can reach orbit but not its planned orbit). Reasoning that the sensor readings were themselves faulty and not the engine chambers, since the engines were progressively throttling back at altitude to reduce the acceleration load on the crew, Booster Systems Officer Jenny M. Howard instructed the cabin crew to inhibit any further temperature-related shutdowns of the engines. Her decision averted a second engine shutdown (the shuttle was still two minutes away from the altitude where it could reach orbit on a single engine), saving spacecraft and crew. SCE to AUX. |

To differentiate him from Dr. Church Epsilon Church is the Epsilon version Coffee Man - That one guard with really unfortunate timing in Season 9, so named because he was carrying two cups of coffee. "Shark Face" - That one badass pyro mook from Season 9 that actually manages to give two Freelancers a decent fight. Later ascended as an in-universe nickname. His friends are Muscles/Sleeveless (the guy with exposed arms), Blondie/Hot Lips (the knife fighting chick revealed to have blond hair in season 10), and Dr. Pill/Pillman/Pill Guy (the guy with the pill logo who apparently knows CT pretty well). The pilot is only known by her callsign, Four Seven Niner, but some people call her Lucy for some reason. |

Ruby Quest: 'Bear Zombie' and 'Spinesnake' for the first monster encountered who turned out to be Stitches. 'Hound Zombie', 'Hook Zombie', 'Plant Zombie', and 'Bellsprout' for the second monster, Daisy. She was also called 'Maddie', but that was more a case of mistaken identity, since Maddie was another patient who died permanently. Stitches for the body found on the wall of the Dummy Room Which turned out to be his actual name. Monitorface or Monitorhead for Bella, since her first few appearances were monitors showing her face. Subject #6 though he's actually #5 or just Nook for Tom Nook, to avoid confusing him with the protagonist Tom. 'Emobird' for Jay. 'Spade' for Ace because he wore an Ace of Spades logo on his shirt before the facility was abandoned, and signed his name like that. Calling him this mostly stopped once it was made clear his name was Ace. 'Sven' for the goat skull in the cabinet, to fit in with the Animal Crossing Theme Naming ('Sven' being a goat villager from that game). He's also assumed to be the same person as 'Dr. S', who signed one of the many notes found around the facility. 'Mr Water Cooler' for a water cooler in one room, which became a meme among players because its taps look a bit like an unamused expression. |

Because of the use of the Godzilla from Shin Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Evangelion: The Real 4-D, the new design for King Ghidorah featured is called "Shin Ghidorah" or "Shin King Ghidorah". | |

Survival of the Fittest: Handlers occasionally give characters nicknames based on their personality traits and the like, and occasionally a character gets a malicious nickname made for the purpose of mocking them. Prominent examples of fan nicknames in SOTF include Kenurton Larris for v3 character Ken Lawson, BB for Blood Boy (people tend to prefer calling him by the shorthand "BB" for whatever reason), and in the mocking sense "* charactername* v2" for characters that are obvious clones of previous SOTF characters. "Mariavel v2" = Melina, "Damien v2" = Eduardo, and "Oliver v2" = Gabe Theobaldt, for example. A number of members (although it was sparked by the character's handler) have begun to refer to Bobby Jacks as 'Bocelot' due to performing an Offhand Backshoot on another character (and hitting him in the head). Members joke that soon he will be ricocheting bullets off walls, and that before long he will have one of his arms cut off. Handlers sometimes give nicknames to characters who share the same first names to differentiate them. For example in V4, there's Happy!Nick (Nick LeMonde) and Sad!Nick (Nick Reid). And Sarax, Stan and Seizure Girl for Sarah Xu, Sarah Tan and Sarah Atwell respectively. From The Program, the SotF Mini Alternate Universe game, Logan Sorenson is almost always referred to as Lolgan. |

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Xi Di Di/Little Brother Happy or Xiao Xi Ur/Little Happy for Weslie. Hui Da Guh/ Big Brother Grey or Hui Da Xu/ Old Man Grey for Wolffy. The goats (and Wolnie sometimes) tend to be called just by their adjectives (lazy, etc.). Or the goats are called in the same "format" as Weslie's nicknames. The show as a whole is sometimes nicknamed Xi Hui, which is based off of the Chinese title, Xi Yang Yang Yu Hui Tai Lang. The first season doesn't have a unique name compared to the other ones, so fans will sometimes call it Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf 530 Edition, the 530 referring to the number of episodes in that season. |

The Comics Curmudgeon has dubbed the Anthropomorphic Personification of death from Funky Winkerbean "Masky McDeath". It caught on among the commentators. The strip has quite a few, actually: Saint Lisa, Mopey Pete, Boy Lisa (or Duhrin), Cancerdeathville, etc. Even the author himself, Tom Batiuk, has a few with "Tombat" and "Batominc" (as in "BATOM, Inc.") being the most popular. In fact, nearly everyone and everything has a fan nickname - an inevitability when the only readership a strip has are people intent on mocking it relentlessly. |

Scilons for Scientologists by Anonymous; also "clams" by the protesters, particularly the pre-Chanology ones, at OperationClambake.com due to one of L. Ron Hubbard's "thought experiments" being to imagine clams "snapping open and shut! Open and shut! Open! Shut!" on a beach (I think it had something to do with perceiving the universe or thetans). Clams are what Hubbard believed humans had evolved from. (Being Hubbard, research failure is a given.) Replacing the s in any of these, including the real name, with a $ is also quite common. This happens to Micro$oft too. |

Homestar Runner Kidstar - 1-Up from the 20X6 universe. He's the anime equivalent of Homestar, and his idol Stinkoman dismisses him as being "just a kid". His name wasn't officially revealed until a year after he first appeared. Marzichan - The 20X6 version of Marzipan who originally only appeared in a Main Page. Was later officially named "Marzi-Mei" when she re-appeared in the last level of Stinkoman 20X6. Visor Robot - A robot with a visor. Oddly enough, the series creators now actually refer to this robot as "Visor Robot". |

The sequel to The Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies, gained the derisive nickname "Paint Never Dries"; that Andrew Lloyd Webber was fined for painting the Adelphi Theatre didn't help matters. Meg Giry in the sequel is sometimes called "NutMeg" for her obsessive, increasingly unbalanced behaviour (particularly by those who see it as Character Derailment). |

Transformers: See Western Animation and Film for terms specific to the cartoons and the live-action films respectively. Kibble: Parts of the alternate mode that protrude noticeably from the robot mode. Toys with excessive amounts of kibble are often referred to as "shellformers" (in that their alternate mode is basically a kibble "shell" that wraps around the robot inside). The Hive or The Swarm: In the toylines for Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Transformers: Prime, toys of Bumblebee were significantly over-represented in case assortments, resulting in large numbers of unsold Bumblebees shelf-warming after everyone who wanted one had managed to acquire him. Shirt and Pants: Refers to the "Powerlinx" combination gimmick possessed by some Autobots in the Transformers: Energon toyline. Two Autobots with this gimmick could combine together into a single super robot, with one forming the upper body and the other forming the lower body, and every Transformer with the gimmick had both an upper body ("shirt") mode and a lower body ("pants") mode (in addition to the standard robot and vehicle modes). Trailguy: The Autobot Trailbreaker, who is now officially known as Trailcutter due to copyright issues. (The Spotlight: Trailcutter comic, written by James Roberts, gives an in-story reason for the change in names.) |
