What is your cat's name, and what stupid nicknames do you call them?
Picture required for full credit
Edit: omg everyone please reply to each other with suggested additional nicknames
My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.
I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.
The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”
The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”
Percy aka Percy-Cat and No, you've already been fed!
Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.
Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot
Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains
Zim and Kylo have become "Silky" and "Fluffy Butt".
Zim gives me Invader Zim vibes and Kylo's name I inherited when I rescued him. Not like he answers to it or anything.
Nova and Athena. SillyButt and BabyKitty.
One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.
Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.
Dexie, or Puddin Poopers
This is Luna. Her nicknames include: Stinky Lady, Baboona, Beepy Boopa, Loons, Lunar. Plus more that I'm sure I'm forgetting.
This is Izzy.
AKA Isabella, Queen Isabella Greypelt, Izzy Busy, Isabella Busy Boo, The Puke Monster and The Monochromatic Quadropus. At least one of those has one of those inane songs to go with it.
Name: ToeKnee
Nickname: Tony
Name: Nomi
Nickname: Nerbals (among many, many others)
Miss Caligula, in keeping with a Roman naming tradition. Usually shortened to Cali, or more often than not just goes by kitty.
Snuggles, Struggles, and Franny.
Although we've started calling Struggles by new names such as Yappy Jackie, Gob, and Screamer.
Lubochka / Lulu / Bochka / Bobo / Booboo / Bober / Boober / Luboo / Bochkin
Not a cat, but I adopted a dog whose name was Doc. I started calling him Docky and that became Ducky and then he started responding to that so now that’s his name.
He has a brother named Dexter that I obviously call Goose lol
Name: Aaron Purr
Nicknames: Biscuit Boy, Boffin, Little Babushka, Baaronki Paponski the Zoozahzonski, Bahba, the VP, Bisco Pisco Sour,
Omg you got your cat to sleep somewhere that's not directly on the fucking keyboard!?!? Who are you so wise in the ways of cats?
Left: Alcatraz
Alcatraz became Darkness became Dennis. A three year old saying Darkness sounds like Dennis. His name is Dennis now.
Nicknames: Supermassive black hole, big black ass
Right: Ipso Facto
Nicknames: Ipso Catso, Ipso Fatso, jerk, Ipso Untrusto,
"No really my name is Alcatraz! Like the prison island. Dennis is just a nickname. I swear! Also you haven't met my girlfriend because she goes to a different school, I talk to her on AIM."
My cats name is Jimmy and sometimes I call him Oggy, especially when he's chasing bugs (no cockroaches here but I hope you get the reference)
Mimo, memes, mats shmickelson when eating, captain zeiksnor when annoying and sjattepoemel when sweet.
I have two void brothers.
Booker
Hollow
Both of them also get called
My partner and I ALSO have
Mister Man
and
BOISBOISBOISBOISBOISBOIS
!!!
We don’t have stinkybutt, but I do call them “pooper”, and “poo tube”
This is Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo
She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.
Name: Emily
Nickname: Emmerly. Sometimes I sing "Emmerly and Ivory" to her 😁
Name: Charlotte
Nickname: Char-Char
I also refer to them as "The Sisters" or "The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters" since they are in fact sisters from the same litter and love staring at me, visitors, and each other 😄
A rare moment of them getting along outside of having fun playfighting:
Things I love about this comment:
Mush mush. Her real name is Altima.
Fitting nickname for a persian
Along with Crumple Zone and Brake Check.

Nick Names: Lulu, Goddamnit, Dumpster goblin, Lou, Stop that.

I think all cats are named "Stoppit." It's like in the taxonomy. Animalia cordata mammalia felidae stoppitae quitthatus felis catus
Sushi
My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su
If she's in trouble then it's Sushi Maki Roll Our last name>
I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I've ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn't bury them in the litter.
I had a cat named Buddy, and he would get up to a lot of mischief so we'd often refer to him as "the monster". Once you start calling your cat "Buddy monster" you'll find you're a very short distance from "monster of buddies I'm pulling your strings".
Here's Buddy after wrecking his Christmas-themed RV:
We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.
We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."
Name: Miso
Nickname: Dickhead, when he is stupid. Mate, when he isn't being an orange cat.
Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she's a low intelligence specimen.
The last pic has big "phone home" vibes 👽
Scout
Who 99% of the time is Scooty.
She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)
(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)
We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet
I'll add a picture when I get another break from work
Edit: pic tax
Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag
Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant
"Helping" me work from home
We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He's orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.
Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁

Styx, black (named after one of Plutos moons, not the 80s band)
Diesel, orange (named in memory of my friends cat)
Together they are Dieselbub and the Prince of Darkness. They are brothers from the same litter and we love them very much.
Edit: Gah! I just went upstairs and they’re being adorable
Possum. Her nicknames are:

Not nicknames but things she is: a gremlin, smooth-brained, a domestic terrorist, a princess, just a baby.

Two cats. Some of these are translated from my first language (I use it interchangeably with English with these two...)
The calico: Mew
The void: Tommy
Both:
Tommy is on a diet I promise
My boy Mo
Or:
And probably dozens of other names I've appended Mo onto. He's a good sport about it.---
Edit: I just realized this was his first time outside after hip surgery. That's why his hair looks weird on the back half.
I'm losing it at Slow-Mo and Guiller-Mo
May I suggest, for when he is being a menace (I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)
(I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)
You called that right. He's pretty much a Border Collie in a cat body. Those are definitely going into the rotation.
Name: Nora
Nicknames: Nörchen, Norora Borealis, The Baby, Guardgoyle, My Darling, Mürzel
Norora borealis? At this time of year, at this latitude, localized entirely within your bedroom?
Polina aka Apollinaria Cassiopeia last name aka Sackratte (imma let you ecose that).
She's tiny, she's a drama queen and if you pet her the wrong for 3 picoseconds, you'll get the teeth.
Gadget, or sometimes just Gadg, more often Gadgey-poo. The other brat is Nova, or most commonly Nova-beans. https://youtube.com/shorts/Mn643qQTSlI
Nyx, but every cat I have is either "kitty" or lately "monkey"
I'm at work with a new-ish phone so I can't pay the cat tax, I don't take many pictures :/
The standard issue one is Morpheus, and the orange is his younger sister (from a different litter) Avocado Toast. Together they are the international pop duo Morphy and Toasty (don't have anything sillier than that, though I will try to use any that get suggested).
Taco Bob often gets called Robert or Turkey Bird
Pliny is usually just Pliny or Pliny Kitty.
They're cuties! I love the trend of having a 'sillier' official name and getting formal for the nickname! Is Taco Bob a big fan of tacos, or is it more of a vibe thing?
I think Pliny not being Elder or Younger is a missed opportunity though :P
Sabrina -> Bree -> The Cheese -> Cheesy
Gusfraba (gusi, gus) and genebre (gine)
No pictures, sorry. Got two of them. (Two of them)
Pistache (Pistachio, classic Calico tabby)
And, Earl Grey (Super chonky muted tuxedo tabby)
Fully Loaded Potato is perfection.
Scruffy aka Big Boy. Since i can't seem to upload, he has no teeth and a floppy ear. When he arrived on my doorstep 6 years ago, his fur was matted, his mouth bloody and inflamed (stomatitis, which got his teeth pulled) and he has a BB permanently lodged in his side from some asswipe that shot him. About 16 pounds.
