Old sweet ragdoll male, real name Rocco: Best Boy
Overweight Himalayan-Ragdoll mix male, real name Shadow: Plumpster

Slightly younger ragdoll male, real name Clover: Fuzzbutt, Fluffster, and Drinkaholic. The last one came about because for awhile I had to give him extra feedings. I used to generally have a soda or something at hand for myself in a glass with ice, and for some reason he began to associate the sound of the ice cubes with the extra food. At some point he stuck his face in the glass and discovered he liked cold drinks, so now he complains loudly if we don’t keep unmelted ice cubes in is water.

All the cats: Kids, Kits, Boys, Are You Sure You’re All Warm Enough when thirty pounds of deeply furry cat are sprawled all over my legs, and each other, on a warm night.

Nordberg , my youngest beagle, is called rocketdog. Sometimes she just starts to run for the fun of it. She will start running around the house, then I open the door and she runs around the yard a couple laps. Then I open the door and she comes tearing into the house jumps on the bed and takes off again. These bouts can be 15 minutes, She is panting hard when she is done.

I sometimes call Austen “Miss Mapp,” when she sits in the living room and watches the neighborhood from behind the curtains.

Both cats sometimes are addressed as Puffball, or sometimes as Pusskins. And then sometimes I get my wire crossed and call one of them Pusball… and reflect that it’s a very good thing that they don’t understand much English.

The OP’s disrespect for his Labrador is shocking, shocking.

We had a number of nicknames for our chocolate Lab Bessie in her young and relatively untamed days, which are not really apropos anymore as she is now a sedate senior citizen of 12. She used to get very excited about riding in the car, so trips to the vet or kennel were known as Driving Miss Crazy.

That wasn’t his nickname.

Look, honestly, we tried other names, and we felt bad about it, but he was the blindest dog I’ve ever seen. And that’s including at least one who was born blind.
