Weird Nicknames for Characters

Posted 5 years, 2 months ago by RustHeart

I have taken to giving my characters weird nicknames.  Also my friends give them nicknames.  What are some nicknames that your characters have picked up?

Error has been called Glitchy, Glitchface, Glitched Burnt Fruit Smoothie and Tree!Sans
I call Inkstone a burnt marshmallow
Glitch and one of my friend's characters are called Small Puffs of Anger
Photo is Banana!Sans and Neon Ball of Anxiety
Nightmare is Purple Nurple Nightmare Child or Lorax!Sans
Ink has been called Inky, Inko, Inkster, Inkstain and many others
Alex is the pissy healer boy
Duncan has been called Dankcan and Buff Boi Duncan (he's an innocent bean why have you done this!?)
Fenn is a popsicle apparently
Electro is a gooey boi

Then there are nicknames of my friend's characters.....
Stinky Trollman (Karkat)
Shades Penis Man (Dave)
Glitchball

          Coming up with weird nicknames for my OCs has become something of my usual habit thus I really have a a lot. Of course most nicknames are in my native language but I'll give a rough translation.


  •      Kuznetsov is playfully called 'sup(er s)tar' for how he's... behaving more like a spoiled rock star than military android.
  •      Dmitriy Donskoy is known as 'irritating big brother' because irritating is his default mood. And then it's also a fact that he's the oldest android of his project, therefore automatically qualified for 'big brother' status.
  •      Because of the colors of their own uniform shirts, Moskva and Varyag are 'black big brother' and 'red big brother' respectively. Although only Moskva is the actual oldest unit in their project, the 'big brother' here is more to signal the fact that they're the boss in each of their fleet. And because I'm quarter Chinese, I'm used to hearing people call business owners/their employers/superiors with a specific word means 'big brother'.
  •      Also because of the different shades of their hairs and how their project is named 'squid', Podolsk is the 'blond squid', Garya is 'red squid and Ryazan 'black squid'.
  •      Nastoychivyy is... called 'Na Toy' (roughly 'Uncle Toy). It's kinda specific joke because this 'Uncle Toy' person is the most well-known dubber of Japanese anime in my country. And the first two syllables of his name just pretty similar. :'D
  •      Shaposhnikov's nickname is pretty much uncreative. :'D It's just acronym Sh.P.N.K. Meanwhile, his youngest brother Panteleyev got a nickname 'Pan Pan' - which either sounds like a panda's name or he signals for help.
  •      Igor got his name messed up to 'Igud'. In my native language, 'Gud' means 'lack of(something / (something being)short' and it reflects his super lousy luck.
  •      Konstantin got a nickname means something along the line of 'Master' because...well, he has the highest status among my OCs as a saint and an emperor.
  •      'Gramp' Varyag is known as 'bear rug' in reference to his bear skin cape.

I frequently refer to Francis as Captain Resting Bitch Face. He has resting bitch face and often utilizes it to his advantage. 

I describe William as a Sarcastic Ray of Sunshine often enough when making story/character notes in my phone that it's stuck to mind as a weird nickname.

Alistair McLain (Actino Volain) AlleycatIrony

his nickname is 'air conditioner' and i was so lowkey sad that i can't apply that to his human AU self bc his name didn't have the 'AC' like 'actino' did so i gave him the middle name colin(s) so his initials are AC and it still applies

baensurgery

Soudelour is Soup
Octav is any variation of (NSFW/nonsense 2-syllable word that ends with -us or -us) (1 random "aah" syllable)assador - ex. Bepis Hambassador
Cemlys is just "bastard"
Wormwood is Warmwad, Woody, Wourmwot, etc.

Also Michael used to be "Magic Mike" and I still hate myself for that one

Roswell van Breek fizzelston

I always call Roswell, Tosti. Ros - Tos -Tosti

Weenus (Arche Borkowski) FrankensteinLabs

meet 'weenus peenus'

Colgate 💖 birthday

justin chose colgate for his rap name and makes everyone call him that so that could apply :'D him dressing like toothpaste kind of enforces it too

jaivin is called scammer by his friends because even though hes rich, they think he looks like a shady car salesman when he dresses up

also not exactly unusual but antonio calls himself papi chulo and every time i think about that it makes me laugh

 Astéri Great-Vegetables

 His main  nickname is space pirate,  he was inspired by outer space and he was once a pirate when I drafted his first story. His other  nickname is Bepper, Beppe  plus his last name gives him the right to use Bepper as his nickname.

 KANAYE NYAHILISM

Kanaye has been called Kan, of course, but also:

  • Kanaenae
  • Kanye
  • Kanaya
  • Zankan (which is actually the name of another character--)
  • Feral Catgirl
