    Mutt has a shortened name for general use, and the long version of her name for when she's in serious trouble (bit like kids really).

    Known to the nieces and nephews as killer or psycho.

    Assorted other names, most of which involve a degree of swearing. Widdle @rse, !!!! 4 brains, "that bloody dog", git dog, that sort of thing.
    We don't generally do sweet nicknames in our house, although mother does call her pudding, or sweetpea, both of which are singularly inappropriate for a dog of her looks and temperament.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you - don't forget many passwords are based on pets names.........
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • Bean (near 2 year old boy kitty) - beany boy, beany man, manny man, b*ggeration (all of which he answers to)

    Coco (near 1 year old girl kitty) - cocobella, cokes, princess, poo police (she's always jumping in the litter tray straight after bean to finish covering his leavings) cackmeister

    b*ggeration and cackmeister are the names they get when they're up to mischief, thundering down the stairs through the living room and bouncing off the walls!

    Woofer just gets called that .
    My sisters dog is called Betsy but gets called Betsy boo, Boo , Boo boo, oi , trouble, little madam, the list is endless.
    My other sis has a dog called Meg , she gets called Meggy , meggy moo, peg, peggy, peggy patch rat bag, bi**h bag again list is endless. Its worse if they are all together, its woofer, boo, peg, woofer, meg, betsy boo...............and so on. I'm sure their neighbours think they have lots of dogs rather than just 1 each as they are called so many names. However I must admit woofer occasionally gets called by all my kids names before I get to his name:o;);)
