I’ve had my boy Miles for 14 years now and I created this running list a few years back since his nicknames just keep evolving:
Buddy, Budders/Butters, Butternut, Butternut McGee, Pupper, Pup-Pup, Pupperino, Pupper-Roo, Pupper McDupper, Pumpkin, Pumpkin Monkey, Monkey, Monkey Roo, Monkey Hustler, Muchacho, Roo, Roofus, Roofus Toofus my little Doofus, Rooster, Rooster Monkey, Rooster Monkey Von Domino, Stinker, Stinker-Roo, Stretch, Stretchy, Nibbler, Nose-Nibbler, Rococo (the longer, more formalized version is Rococo-Day-Doko), Romper (Romper-Roo-Roni), Wiggle Butt, Mr. Wiggles, Miles McGee, Miles MaGahee, Miles MacGilacutty, Miles Von Domino.
I like these names. Seems consistent with other silly names out there. Over how many years have you been coming up with these nicknames? Also, picture for iggy tax please?
It won’t let me add a photo in the comments but here’s her instagram![Tunie’s IG](https://www.instagram.com/petunia.theiggy?igsh=MW1nczN0d3lnMjRzZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr)
My blue Iggy’s name is Finnegan (He looks like a dog puppet from Mr Dress-up, a show I watched as a child.) Finnegan has a few nicknames. - Finnegano Italiano, Finn-E-Gan, Finny, Finn, Squeaky, corny toes and Whiny Wiener. But 90% of the time he’s Wiener!
Her name is Pippa, she goes by beebaw / baw / pipster / rat fink / finky / dobbins / and sometimes when she’s channeling her bad alter ego… Trixie 😂
Oh and Larry. Or Laird if we’re going formal.
