My cat's name is Annabelle. I often call her "Chicken" or "Dorkfish."
I don't know what that's about. Especially the Dorkfish part.
I had a cat named Chloe, and I'd follow her around, chanting: Chlo-ball, snowball, puffy little dough ball. At least that made sense. She was fat and white. This shit with Annabelle. I don't know about it.
Before I had to give her up for DD's allergies (fact of live, whateves) my cat Noel turned into "kitty" after my DD came along. Not weird but even I no longer referred to her by name, just kitty.

I call my dog Leo "Leo-Peo" and Callie "Callie-Ballie" I like to rhyme, apparently. AND I say it in an annoying baby voice over and over. When I want Leo to cuddle with me I always say "Where's my baby?" Callie is fatty. She's not REALLY fat, but she has a tiny head for her body, and she likes food.
Leo Peo I usually say over and over like "Leo peo peo peo!" and it starts to sound kind of like a laser gun noise. pew pew pew!
I had a cat named Pip who I'd refer to as Pippy Pujols, after that baseball player. The name Pujols delighted me. For the record, my cat never played baseball.
XH took two of our cats when he moved: Sophia who is also called: Sofa (she's 20+ pounds) and Shoof Lilly: Lil, Itty Bitty, Bitters
The kids and I have 3 cats: DC (which is short for Dumb Cat) who is also called Fatty, Chubs, Baby Brother (I had DS convinced the cat was his brother for a few years!) Wednesday, but no one really calls her anything but that Nyan (from the poptart cat youtube thing) and he's often: Bryan, Ryan, Nyan Capyan (in a sing-songy voice)

I named my cat Kahlua because she was white with a black nose and so I said she looked like a white Russian. I called her Lula for short. Skip to my Lu when I was being silly.
I call our dog Ollie 'O-bear' or 'wacko'. Beemer, our cat, is Bad Beemer (she is so freakin' pesky) or Beemer-bear. I have no idea why 'bear' gets added to both of their names. If I use just Ollie or Beemer they both know they are in trouble lol
I don't call my dog by his name usually. I call him Farfignewton (thank you Annimanicas for that one). Stink butt, he could kill you with his farts. Ding bat, dork. The list goes on.

Oh my pugs! StbxH has both of them in the divorce...but Pugs Lee was Pugs Chins On Things Lee, Puggory, Pugs Bugs, and Bugaboo. I used to sing "It's Pugs Lee the German waitress with the really long armpit hair." To him and grab his arm pit hair lol
Sammy was Sammy Pie, Sammy Pie ala mode, Sam dog millionaire, or baby. She was a tiny blind runt. Poor baby lol she was so sweet but very very special needs.
I'm definitely touched when it comes to my pugs. They were my best friends.

My parents have a boy cat and two girl cats, and a girl dog. And then me and my two sisters. Sometimes I call the boy cat Mr. Sister.
One of the girl cats is a grouch. She growls when I pick her up, but I've convinced myself that she secretly loves it but is too much of a curmudgeon to admit it, so I call her love bug, which turns into Mia-bug (her name is Mia). She does try to sleep with me every night, and she puts her face in mine all night, so I know she really does love me.
First dog is rarely called by her given name. She's often Baby D, K-Diddles, Booboohead, Booby, Stinker, Stinker-Binker, and Booboo Doodoo.
I'm really embarrassed for myself right now.
Second dog doesn't have as many nicknames, or at least she shares a lot of them with her sister. Sometimes she gets called Scarletti Spaghetti or The Boobs.

My dog's name is Sake. I have some weird ones and no explanations, really: Socks, Snugglebut, Stinkmonster, Sucky. Weird, but consistent in that they start with the same letter as his name LOL.

I don't know about you but when I started calling my cat Chick/Chicken it's because of they way they sit sometimes, with all the paws tucked underneath and they just have the look of a brooding hen. When I wake up the "Chick" is usually sitting like that next to my bed.

My roommate has a cat named Allie...my preferred nickname for her is Hellcat, but I also call her Alliecat. And I sing the "Tally Man" song to her, except it goes "Hey Mrs. Alley Cat, Allie with Bananas, daylight come and your dinner is ready"
I pretty much stick to calling my roommate's dog by its given name, although I'll often add "darling" after it.
Me too. The other message board I post on is a baseball related one, and if I'm posting anything about him, I spell it Poo-holes. I'm a 15 year old boy, apparently.

The cat I used to have was named Lucy. I called her Lucy-Goose a lot, and then eventually that turned to just Goose. Never in a million years would have named a cat Goose, but that's what she ended up answering to.
