> [@Snakescatlady](#): > > What do you call your furchildren in addition to their “formal” names? **[Emily](http://www.freecfm.com/p/psiekier/emilybunny/emily25.jpg)** was always “Emily” officially until we saw the video for the Bowling For Soup song “Emily” (from whence we derived her name), which features a girl wearing a T-shirt that reads “Emily the Jaret-Slayer.” Ours became “Emily the Carrot-slayer,” then officially. Unofficially, she’s “Nibbler,” “Hopper,” “Big Nibbler,” “Big Hopper,” “Bunny Girl,” “Nüny Ears,” or “Fluff-Tail.” **[Peekaboo](http://www.freecfm.com/p/psiekier/images/bunny_peekaboo_basket01.jpg)** is just “Peekaboo” officially, although she sometimes goes by “Baby Bunny,” “Baby Nibbler,” “Baby Nüny Ears,” or “Gobbler.” ---

Guy Incognito-- our parrot Murphy also goes by “lil chicken” and sometimes “roast squab.” My husband calls him “beaky buddy” and the in-laws “beaky-boy.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/punkin-doodle-or-pet-names-for-your-pets/299607.md?page=3)
