Besides their regular name, what do you call them, and where did that name come from?

Not all the furry people that have lived with me, but the most recent:

Sylvia, cat (RIP)
Adopted in 2001 at 12 years old.
Nickname: "Silly". She had the cutest little quirks and a unique personality. Not a big fan of Sidzilla, he came along 3 months later.
She was with me until 2006. I wish my time with her wasn't so short.

Sidney, cat (RIP):
Adopted in 2001 at 7 years old.
Nickname 1: "Sidzilla". There was one picture of him that reminded my ex of Godzilla. It stuck. Nickname 2: "Sidzy"
Nickname 3: "Cow Cat". He was black and white with the markings of a cow. One Halloween I got him a cow head costume. I'll post the picture later when I find it

Marley, cat, 7 years old:
Already named Marley when I adopted him in 2008 at 2 months old. Very tiny compared to his new big brother Sidzilla. We started calling him "The Munchkin".
Nickname 1: "Munchkin" turned into "Munch". Or "Marley Munchy Munch". Or "Munch Munch Munch". Nickname 2: "Goober". I don't know where that came from but it fits.
Nickname 3: "Bubber" or "Bubs". I have no idea.

Jacob, cat, 5 years old:
Adopted at 2 months old after Munch lost his big brother Sidzilla in 2010. His original name was "Streak" for the white streak on his nose (he looked like a baby skunk). Renamed Jacob.
Nickname 1: "Birdie". Since he was a kitten he loves to sit in the window and watch the birds. He makes a little chirping noise to mimic them, and sounds just like them. I started calling him "my little birdie". He's 22 pounds now but still squeaks/chirps.
Nickname 2: JJ. Just because.
Nickname 3:"Bubber" or "Bubs".

"My Bubbers" means Marley and Jacob.

I am definitely, officially, Crazy Cat Lady. But I know I'm not the only one with extra names for my pets!

Mine answers to Kitty, but she's also known as You-da-Kitty and BabyCatz

Dachshunds we had:

Davey became "Squatty" because he squatted when he peed.
Bengie became "Spongy" because he absorbed all the attention he could get.

Once we started with the nicknames we never used their "real" names.

I forgot one. I used to call Sidney "Fuzzy Nuts". He was my first male cat, and although neutered, he had large, very obvious male parts! He seemed to like the name.

Our cats had names, but most of the time we referred to them by other names...Mommy kitty, Baby kitty, etc.
