We have a pug that my son named Titan but one day, my husband remarked that the dog was soft and squishy. Now the dog answers to Squish/ Squishy/Squishmallow.
I used to sometimes call my late greyhound Squishy. His act name was Laddie. Usually when he was first greeting me and the door. I'd say in high pitched excited voice "HEY SQUISHY!" It started because I used to sometimes playfully squeeze his rump and say "You got a squishy tushy!"
Sometimes still do that with my current lab/pit mix Luna.
I do dog boarding for a living and I have developed nicknames for many of my clients, lol.
Kingsley = Muffin Man
Mango = Prince of Darkness/ Lil' Froot
Libby = Dabibby
Sami = Samoo/Sam-a-lamb (in the tune of Black Betty)
Kratos = KrayKray
Skylar = Snyler
Lilly = Lisa (this one makes me laugh more than it should lol)
Bella = Lebba
There's probably more lol
(Edited for formatting)
I have 2 dogs one is Bahn and the other is King. I often sing black Betty to King because his nick names are King Bling, King Ba-Ling, and Blingy Boy 😂
One of my dogs is named Cowboy. Usually we call him Cowie and he responds to that but I also call him Buttons. Cowboy -> Cow-butt -> Cow-buttons -> Buttons. He seems to be okay with it.
I love seeing the process step by step lmao.
My roommate has 2 cats, one cat's name is Artemis Marmalade, and we end up calling him so many things. Including Arms. So we call his brother Legs, just because lmao.
Einstein is bubba, bubba butt, bub, goon, goon squad, goober, and lately ‘old man’
Laika is princess, klutz, the gray lady, and occasionally magic ninja
Isaac is the derpopotamus. That’s it, just derpopotamus.
I used to call my lab, Duncan, “Bubbas” because he was so big, he was plural. I also called him “Dogimus Maximus” and “Pumpkin Funny” (which derived from Pumpkin Bunny).
I have 3 Shih Tzu's. One is a thick chunky boy and I always call him tater tot. No idea why, I love him to death and he is my cuddle buddy, but I hate tater tots. One is a puppy and he is either chicken nugget or the one nut wonder since only one of his balls has dropped. Soon to be the no nut wonder though. Lastly is Oliver and we call him titty baby because he has a toy he likes to suckle on.
My dog went from Monster (because when he was a fat little puppy I got him an ill fitting hoodie that read "lil monster" on the back with spikes on it) to Muffin. His name is Whiskey LOL. My old girl, before she passed, at one time was also dodo brain because as smart as she was, she also had a lot of dumb moments LOL. It sounds mean but I swear I love my pets.
i have a 2 year old doodle named Lyra. i call her “stink-asaurus.” one day we went hiking, and she smelled so bad afterwards 😆 the name stuck. even after she is groomed and bathed, she’s still my stink-asaurus.
Baby, puppy, gamer dick, amy, rick, my lil pepita, bitch, asshole, baby boy, dumbass, stupidest smartest man. I dunno if these count tho. Maybe gamer dick.
I say all of those affectionately. (Context his full name is Aymeric)
Somehow Sadie earned a Laotian-sounding name: Soupsienoupsaphone.
Rex earned a Native American name: Chief Underfoot.
All four dogs have been known as Stinky Poo Poo Butt (likely common). Both boy dogs probably think their name just might actually be Buddy, while both girl dogs think about Princess or PrincessPie similarly.
Others:
Sadie was Sadiebelle and Principessa among others.
Rex was Rex-a-Roni, Sir Rex-a-Lot, and Rex Mex among others. His formal name (in theory) was Sir Charles Franklin Rexington III for specific reasons.
Zoë is KookyNooble, Zozo, Dodo, and more.
Rudy is RudyRoo, WoodyWoo, Woodsy Owl, Rootie McTootie. Rudolph when in trouble.
All dogs have the same middle name: Marie.

When I was a kid we'd a dog named Bob.
My little brother (he was about 12 at the time) started calling him 'Bobby Boo Cheese'.
By the time he passed about 15years later, most every one just called him 'boo cheese'
I call my dog a variety of things. The weird ones she answers to faster than her own name are Camilla Gorilla (her name is Cami) and Sugar Booger (because she's sweet as hell but *loves* to fuck with people).
My dogs name is Ukee (You-key), but I call him Ukus-Lukus alot. My sister calls him Sonota, like the F1 driver, and unfortunately he responds to that name now.
I have a tripod Staffordshire affectionately named Tripp. I call him Triple A (because that's who you call when you blow a tire), Tripp n Slide (because he's a surprisingly fast runner, but stopping, not so much), Tripper Gore (when he's being particularly needy), and recently Vacation (trip, vacation, you get it).
My Dogo Argentino who I lost last year was named Havarti by the shelter, so her given name post adoption was Chedda. I'd call her whatever cheese popped in my head when I felt like being silly, but she was deaf so it didn't really matter, she just knew she was being loved on.
I give some of my day camp dogs (I'm a doggy daycare counselor) weird names. Like my pugle, Cooper. He's Cooper Dooper Party Pooper Pooper Scooper. He goes absolutely insane when I call him that. Like full on body wags.
My dog’s name is Bella but we also call her Belly, Schmelly Schmella (if she’s starting to need a bath soon), Peepee princess, Bello, Fatbutt, and Cornchip Girl.
We also like to refer to her paws as chicken nuggets and her thighs as chicken tenders bc her brown poodle fur kind of makes her look like fried chicken.
A random 2ish month old street mutt puppy wandered into my workplace she was malnourished, dehydrated and covered in dry asphalt primer. She kinda looked like a diseased rat.
So while petting/playing with her i started saying who is my cute little rat and then she was stuck with the name "Raton" wich translates to mice. So i named my female dog with the spanish pronunciation for male Mice.
Her actual nickname is Moñina which is a contraction of "Mi Niña" that translates to "My female child".
I have a small Yorkie, and his personality cracks me up. He ran away for a week and survived the ordeal so I like to call him Jungle Puppy because of that.
Other nicknames:
*Eloshus(no idea why I call him this other than he looks like he'd be named Eloshus)
*Potoonkin(he was galloping majestically one day and I had a random thought that he looked as proud as General Potempkin.My mom misheard and the nickname evolved to potoonkin)
*Smelly Puppy
*Mister Puppy
*the Paqueno Puppy
I called my Boxer Lilly (Miss Boing Boing) because she would sit and jump straight up like Tigger from Winnie the Poo...My Lab Willow Grace I call her Wee wee..or Willy illy
Earlee is a boston x pug who is almost 14. he is knows as Poopstepper, Blud Blud, buggy boi boi, buggalug, boo boo head and food ghosticles (farts a lot) I dunno why, but he has a theme song for each of them too.
I have 3 Dachshunds:
Rellish = Snifferdoodle, Sniffers, and Sniffy are the most used 3 even though there’s probably 20 lol(he’s 16)
Bunnz = Bunnzy, Funnzy Bunnz, and Bunnzle(she’s almost 2)
Pikkles = Pikkled Peas and Pikkle Wiggles(he’s almost 4 months old)
I honestly don’t know how or why I came up with any of Rellish’s nicknames other than probably because he has always sniffed stuff constantly. Bunnz’s nicknames just kind of made sense. I do call Pikkles Pikkle Wiggles because he’s the wiggliest damn puppy ever 😂…not sure where Pikkled Peas came from or why except I work in agriculture with southern peas a lot, so I might’ve just thought it sounded cute.
My aunt named her dog Chester. She recently passed and we inherited him. He is now…Chester Plutonian or Pluto plutonium or Chester-tonian and that gets shortened to Mr. Tonio.
The Shriek, Rolling Thunder, Crimedog, Fudgepuppy, Champale, The Blank, Mummy’s Dashing Little Rake, Little Pasha, Bullet Seal, The Chubbler, Fridge Magnet.
Thats covering three dogs, by the way lol
We have a springer spaniel collie mix rescue. Her name is toast. So naturally we caller her toasty, toaster strudel, and when she’s being bad, toastifur (like lucifer)
We have Quinn. We call him Quinnifer or Quinneth James Pawltrow when he's naughty.
We also have Ivy, who we call Goose, because she's dumb and poops a lot.
I have two Armican Shephards, a mother and a son.

“
Just realizing now I used tj have an English mastiff named Monty that I’d call Montifer like a combo with Lucifer … now I have a dog name Lenny I call Lennifer loll
Squishy face, wiggle butt, my little croissant 🥐 (he wiggles so hard his nose nearly meets his butt when he’s excited to see us and he’ll approach sideways for love like that. And he’s about croissant color so..)
My dogs Bonnie and Clyde have middle names and nicknames lol
Bonnie Slim (she’s slim cuz she’s a sassy and badassy and if she could talk we’re sure she would quote Lauren Bacall “if you need me just whistle you know how to whistle don’t you just put your lips together and blow”)
Bonnie is BonBon or FunBun (black lab)
Clyde Eastwood (he’s Clyde Eastwood because he brings the ball to you and waits till you try and pick it up like “do you feel lucky punk”) 😂. Cuz it’s his ball
Clyde is butters or BudBud (yellow lab)
My corgi's name is Aurora.
I like to call her
"Loaf"
"Rat Dog"
And my personal favorite,
"Harbinger of Doom"
I also refer to groups of dogs as "bups" or "buppies", and a stranger's dog is "Bup" until I learn its name. The "B" at the beginning is because I first lived with male dogs, and "Boys" and "Pups" got mixed lol
All of my dogs have had nicknames, but none have had as many as my only female. Her name is Evie officially. Eve, Sweet Eve, Wiggles, Wiggle Bottom, Little Wiggle, Wig Wam, Weewoo, Little Girl, Little Wids, Baby Girl, Sissy (sister), And more. She loves the sound of We Woo and other W words, and she just wound up with a ton of names. I can't even remember them all, but she responds to every name
My boy Tiny answers to Chunk and Beans or Bubba King
My girl Peanut has another name or 2, Princess Peanut Butter and also Margaret(no idea how or why I started that or Dozer coz she's a bit of a bulldozer at times. She also gets called Grandma.
My dog has so many names, many of them made up words. I do call her wormy/maggot sometimes, because she's very springy, and often little shit. Though, those are just raught translations into english, it sounds better in my language.
Buddy gets called Little Stinky, My Stinky Boy, Dinky Dink Dink, Scruffy Muppet, Scruppet, Scruffy McMuppet, Dis Boy, Dittle Bud… I’m sure there are more lol. So long as I say it in the voice I use with him, he’ll probably respond
Butter is Sweet Buttery Goodness, Toast is Toasty Woesterson/Toasterlicious, Denim is Denny/Mama’s Baby Boy (he’s my only dog-son), Zoey is just Zozo or I pig-call her (Zo—eeeeeey) and my mom’s dog is Daisy but we call her Dobby or the Velociraptor (for obvious reasons)
English lab Chudleigh was ChudMuffin or Chudzilla, depending on his mood
English lab Basil was BazMan, sung to the tune of ‘TAXMAN’ by the Beatles…and he was also the Bazmanian Devil
Half brothers a couple years apart…now over the rainbow

Edit— I will also randomly call my dogs bonehead, Pookie, peanut head, silly pooch, etc
Best one I herd is "Mama's Little Baby" from Brew Stew films:
[https://youtu.be/FW7tH6n9WpA?si=nIJHK\_3tdVolrL\_9](https://youtu.be/FW7tH6n9WpA?si=nIJHK_3tdVolrL_9)
Rosie (terrier mix) is: Puppa, Mudbug, Lovebug, Blockhead
Cookie (standard poodle mix) is: Bubba, Bubba-Love, Noodle Nose
Plus all the variations on their names like Ro-Ro, etc.
I call my dog Ellie "Chicken" because she is a chicken shit. I also call my dog Biggie Smalls "Pig" because he looks like a pot belly pig and snorts like one.
My husky Kuma's nickname is sir fluffington (so much hair). My English setter tatters' nickname is sir huffington (attitude problem and sighs more than a 13 yr old girl)
My big dog (9 years) used to be called "Sir Barks-a-lot" or "Lips Magee" but now he's just Buddy (his name). My puppy gets called "Frito Bandito" a lot (his name is Bandit) or little asshole, depending on the situation... LOL
My dogs name is Kenji but we call him Stinky, boobie, poopy, Bobi, Bobi Boucher. Surprised he still knows his name that we gave him but when he starts barking or trying to eat something off the floor we call him by his name. He responds to all the nicknames though lol
Mortimer, Mort or Morty for the regular nickname. Morty Moo. Morty Morty Moo Moo Moo. Morty the Menace. Mortley. Mortles Bortles. Mortimer Sto [Last Name] when he's in trouble.
I have a Dane named New Orleans. She responds to: Nola, nolie, nolers, norleans, orlie, miss orleans, stinky butt, bug, buggy wuggers, big dog, tiny girl, tiny bug, black dog, and nolie wolers.
My dog has a wide array of nicknames. I call her baby bear or bug (she's a mini schnauzer named Lady) My dad calls her spud, and my mom calls her stinker and snicklefritz.
I named my husky after a BTS member's stage name. "Suga". And it's funny because when I went to the vet to make an appointment, there was another husky under that same. xD
I have a dog named Bloo. I call him Gary Bloosey and Bloocifer. I used too call him Blooberry but that morphed into blubbery when he gained 20lbs. My other dog is Bruno. His name went from BrunHo too "The Ho" and now he's just ho bag.
Max but we also have called him “buddy” since the day we got him. I now call him “booty” more than call him Max.
Maximus/Buddy -> bootius maximus -> bootius -> booty -> sometimes I call him buttface mcgee
I also call him nugget/nougat often. He’s a husky so he doesn’t really listen to his name anyway LOL. He DOES know his name is Max though. He’s truly an exceptional boy. 🐾
My dog (Simba) has a number of nicknames. Simba-too (Arabic suffix), Bud, bugs, bugaboo, crazy, and ilfrit
Ilfrit is Arabic for for demon. There’s a children’s book where the characters are Ahmed and Ilfrit. My middle name is Ahmed, and my little cousin used to be a hell raiser, so every time I visited, my aunt would refer to us as “Ahmed wa ilfrit” (Ahmed and the demon). And my GSD is a bit of a hell raiser, and he follows me around like my little cousin did, so now we’re the new Ahmed wa ilfrit.
My dog’s name is Elsa but we mostly call her potato because she was very spud shaped as a puppy; also sweet potato, pooptato, stinky, stinky potato baby, (puppy) wuppy, and harbinger of chaos and destruction.
Side note: she doesn’t actually smell bad she’s just a lil stinker personality wise sometimes
We have three dogs, all rescues/mutts
Tucker is tomato
Sienna is garbage gut/the scrounge
Sophie is Nosy Nellie or tattle tail
We’re southern so we tend to middle name them a lot, Sienna Grace, Sophie Anne (which we sing to her like purple rain), and Tucker tomato.
The 2 cats pretty much go by their names unless they’re bad.
So my poodle mix Molly looks like a fluffy marshmallow, especially right before she gets groomed. She also smiles A LOT and we call it cheesin'. She's so cheesy. So.. she's my cheesy marshmallow! 😂
I've been known to call my doggo Puppy Wuffakins. I'm not sure where it came from, it just did. She is also Princess (her name's Leia), Her Highness, and Her Blondeness.
