I am not sure if this was discussed here, or on another chin site I belong to, but do any of your chins have nicknames? Nay reasons behind them?
I often call Trixie "Baby Girl" or "bubby" Rick will call her "Critter" or Furball" No real reasons, but I do know she will respond with a tail wag or a glance toward me when I call her Baby Girl.
 
I often can't recall a name of a chin when I am in with them. I remember most of them but sometimes I have a little block to certain names. Everyone gets called Sweetpea, porkchop, hunnybun, pookiepoo, poopers, darlin buhbuh, etc. :) It's just because I can't remember everyone's name on command all the time. Most of the time it's the rescues that have just come in. I'm having a heck of a time with about six of the rescues...I call them all sorts of names that aren't their names. :rolleyes:

"Oreo.........hmmmm really just call him Oreo or ORE, he is getting so big I might start calling him Double Stuff!!"

*roflmfao* Yes yes, a double stuff chinnie!
 
my boyfriend, mom and i all call our boy Indy Peanut haha. he always responds to it. i actually started calling him that because hes a hetero beige so hes the color of a peanut and he has a big butt so hes almost shaped like a peanut :dance3:
 
I seem to add to my pets names for there "nickname" instead of making them shorter

chins are -

Maddie = Maddiemay
Mitzie = Mitzieroo

cats -

****** = The babies
Sockie = Sockie Von Sockierton
Chancey = Chancey Chancetoperton
Max = Maximus J Kitty or Maximus Prime

and my beloved Soleil who passed over the rainbow bridge was never called Soleil, she was my Sweet Pea
 
Oh my gosh, there are so many, which to choose, which to choose! My poor little guy gets a new nickname fairly often, depending on the situation. His "given name" is Chinzilla, but he is also known by My baby, Sweet Baby, My Baby Boy. My daughter calls him Big Boy, My husband calls him That Boy, and of course he is also more appropriately referred to , "Most Exaulted Ruler" - he's just a little bit spoi - well loved! Right now since I am having to bleach his cage every night, he is "Booger Face". That one won't last too long, though.
 
BamBam - Bam, Bammers, Bam-er-ama
Domo - Dome
Spyro - Spy, SpySpy and my fiance calls him Darth Vader or Vader
Kiwi - KeeKee, KeeKee WeeWee, Kee, Chunkers
 
Heres a few of their nick names

orin-oreo, snow ball,cookie bear
keegan-kiki,care bear
finley-fender bender,fin fin,grizzly bear
dwyer-dwy dwy,baby bear
 
At a show, while I was grooming, I called my TOV eb girl Venus "princess" and the person watching asked if her name was Princess. That's when I realized that when I am nervous & grooming, all the girls are either "princess" or "you little diva!" depending on how well they are sitting still, LOL! The boys are routinely pumpkin, as in "you are such a little pumpkin compared to that little diva I just groomed!" :)
 
Gizmo= chunck, peanut, handsome, mr. beans, chubbs, gizzie giz, giz.
 
Depending on what he is doing, CHilli is either the Chill-pill or the booger. Pepper is brat, stinker or snot.
 
ChieChie is called chiechers, fuzz butt, fuzzy butts, fuzzy butt, and butt, honey, baby, little lovie. My boyfriend complains that he gets butt-butt and the chinchilla doesnt very often. He will call chichie some of these too, and other people in the house will call him a rat. Oh and stinkerbell/ stinkerbutt is a pretty popular nickname too.
 
All my chins have a nickname or variation of their name.
When talking to Pinball I frequently call her Chica.
Nitro is my Boogie.
Cloud is my Handsome Boy.
Jasmine is Jazzy or Jazz.
Friday is either Miss Thing or Big Fat Fatty.
Lily can be Lilybear or Grumpy Grump depending on her mood.
Petunia is Brat, Big Fat Fatty, or Miss Piggy(her tail is like a corkscrew).
Sam is sometimes Sammy Sam or Sam the Man.
