If Charlotte is hiding a lot she gets called Charlie, if she makes a mess she gets called Charlie Sheen :lol:
If she is being cute she gets called Peeeech.
I would call her Prince Charles some time but I'm afraid she might get offended.

Oh and the cats:

Oryx - Ory, Or, Rix, Ricky
Pisew - Shoe-Shoe, Peesh
Cinder - Sin, Sinny, Cinder-Binder

And all of them "Kiki" or "kiki-wow".

Lol I am sure when I've owned Roy for 10 years he'll have as many nick names as the cats.

Nippy gets called Nipster, once in a while, but the others just get called their names, I think. Hmm, I do call Lutea "Boofhead" though, due to her having a rather big head ...

Oh, wait! Jade gets called a lot of silly endearments, like Sweetie, Poppit, Little One etc, but she is super cute when she puts on her "don't mess with me" face, so I can't help myself and being inside, she gets talked to a lot. Her piercing red eyes just fix on me, as if to say " I've got no clue what you are on about, but I wish you'd just be quiet and buzz off"!

Some of the names we call the cats aren't so family friendly- but that depends on whether they just looked cute and rubbed up against you, or whether they just heaved up in the middle of the bed!

Shinglebacks - Nippy, Lava, Suunto, Lutea, and Hermione
Easterns - Kiah and Jade

Jeff wrote:What I call my skinks depends on the situation. When a female is looking particularly good, I might call her "Hottie", or "Gorgeous". When one of them is being particularly annoying or makes me mad, I usually call it "Dakota". I used to call the bad ones "Monitor", but lately, "Dakota" just seems to come out when I get angry. :noknow:

:rofl:

I mainly just have the nicknames for the dogs and cat.
Lexi - Lexi Lou, Chunks
Libby - Libby girl, Libberz
Winston - Winnie, Piggy (because his belly reminds me of a pig)
Sigmund - Sig, Siggy, "Crap"head (especially when I'm eating or trying to d something and he's in my way)
