Anybody else have nicknames for their guinea-pigs based on their personality/mannerisms/looks?

Ours are:

Pip the Explorer;
Freya is Noseybonk because she's always got her head in the air; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_(UK_TV_series)
Ted is the Patchouli Kid (We had to treat him for a suspected fungal infestation using Peter Gurney's essential oil blend - and he reeked of Patchouli.);
Susan is the Splat Monster, because she's a young coronet and her coat doesn't quite hang properly;
Chocky is the Chockmeister: a nonsense name which just came about one day;
Only my sweetie Romana doesn't have a nickname, but she is named after a certain Time Lady...

:))
 
:)) I like this thread! Mine have a lot!

Skunk is Skunky, Skunky Monkey, Skunkmaster, Skunkalicious, Squeaker

Fudge is Fudgy, Grandpa Munster - because he has 2 tufts of hair sticking out behind his ears :))

Together they are either Funk or Skudge :)
 
Well, mine have heaps of nicknames but all are in Swedish. Technically even Bo, Martha and Chicken are nicknames because those are the English equivalents of their real names.
 
Finlay is brown/brown fluff/pinky nosey
Frankkie is white fluff/ big white floofiness/curly whiskers
 
blackjack - jack, jackie, shiner

isabelle - izzy, izzywizzy ")

esme - ezzy

george doesnt really have one i might start calling him punk hehe

lexi - baby :D
 
Llewelyn is Llewi boy (shortened from "Llewelyn - good boy").
Nerys is my cuddle pig or my teddy girl.
Telyn is my squeaky duck or my little brat.
Cariad is my Darling (which is what her name means) or my precious.
Ceri is my little pili pala (Welsh for butterfly) or my monkey.

Taffy and Nia haven't got a special name yet. But that will come!
Dizzy was my princess...
 
Sparky-"news of the world" "gobby" "Sparkly boy" "nosey pig" "fatso"

Prince Harry "Harribo" because he's such a sweetie "4 legged mop head"

Thomas "ASBO pig" Tommy-wommy-woo-woo"
 
I tend to suffix all my pigs with 'roo' so they're piggy-roos! (dunno where it came from)

Porthos was my little roo, or little man and Scooter was Scooter-roo.
 
I call Ralph: Ralphy or Snozz, cos he's always got his big nose in your business or he's poking it out of the pigloo to have a good nose at what's going on. So I often all him "Snozz".

And Arnold is just Lil' Arnold. Because he's the littlest Arnold that I know :(|)
 
Pippa is also known as Pippa-Pig, Pipkin or Pip-Pip (although my other half also called her 'Little Pipple' earlier tonight too :))

Willow doesn't really have any other names, although I sometimes find myself calling her Baby Girl (even though she's the bigger of the two rolleyes) or Wilbur (I have no idea why though! :red inbreeding )

Together they're known as 'The Piggles' or 'The Girls' :))
 
This is sooo cute.

Aldous was Al, Ol, Olly and fuzzy face.
Milla was "Milla Pushkin Pigavitch", Mimi, Meels, and probably fuzzy face
Fluff was (actually called Fluffy Mama from the kids she came from) but also El Fluffo the Magnificent, Fuzzbox and Fluffiola

and the newbies, "the boys":

Winks - Winksy, sweetie, definitely fuzzy face and "Winks McLean" when he's been bad.
Pablo - Pabs, el bandito, baby no.2, vampire piglet (when he chomped me), tiny Bandito

Fuzzy face I'm pretty sure comes from a Peanuts cartoon with Snoopy and it's stuck deep in my psyche somewhere!
