Beat

  • Various fanfictions give Chip the last name "Maplewood" and Dale the last name "Oakmont". In fact, this is accepted as Fanon.
    • Some fans go as far as declaring "Chip" the nickname form of "Charles", which would mean that he'd share a first name with Monterey Jack's father.
  • Tammy from "Adventures In Squirrelsitting" is often given the surname "Chestnut". Her unnamed mom has been named June in a handful of fanfics as well.
    • However, there are even more names for Tammy's mom to be found in fanfics than last names for the family.
  • "The Rangerillion" gave new names matching its Tolkienesque High Fantasy style to staff members, canonical characters, original characters, fans, and even some classic Disney characters. Due to the impact this story had on the fandom (a Real Life Crowning Moment of Awesome similar to the release of Of Mice and Mayhem, only that it took several months), some fans occasionally use these names in regular conversation, sometimes not even shying away from addressing people, fans in particular, but also staff members, by these names. Examples:
  • Tad Stones: Thaddeus of the Stones.
  • Fat Cat: Feline the Gluttonous.
  • Widget Hackwrench (from "Under the Bridge"): Widget the White.

Justice League/Justice League Unlimited

  • The Legion of Doom: The second Secret Society in Justice League Unlimited, based on their deliberate similarity (including the design of their secret headquarters) to the classic enemies of the Superfriends. One editor has heard that internal documents actually refer to the Society as the Legion of Doom, but can't put their finger on any references.
    • They flat-out mention it in the DVD commentaries for the final season that they essentially referred to the group as the Legion of Doom amongst themselves, but were asked by DC higher-ups to not use it in the show. Hence why the group isn't actually referred to at all by name in the show (apart from Luthor's dismissive comment about it being another version of the Secret Society, which Grodd waves off).
      • It's on the DVD box!
  • Brainthor: The entity formed by Brainiac merging with Lex Luthor in the second season finale of Justice League Unlimited. (Other favorites include "Lexiac" and "Luthoriac", some even differentiating between the two stages of the event.)

    • Also, the "Big Honkin' Mace" or "BHM", after a line Joker used to describe it.
    • The "Deus ex Mace-ina", due to Hawkgirl's ability to destroy or effectively attack things with the mace that sometimes even guys like Superman can't smash because of magic.
  • The Little Three: Hawkgirl, Flash, and Green Lantern.
  • The Big Seven: during justice league unlimited when referring to the original seven members.

  • Hog Hug: Used by some fans to refer to Hogarth Hughes, thanks to one hilarious scene with Kent Mansley and the smashed BB gun.

Kim Possible

  • Alex Sapphic/Background Lesbian: A recurring background character in Kim's high school that fit the stereotype of a Butch Lesbian, despite having romantic interested in Smashmouth, Prince Wally, Hirotaka and various boys around the school. She's gotta swing both ways.
  • Leslie Bean: Recurring high-school extra that appeared in Season Four, appearing to be the Background Lesbian's girlfriend.
  • The Girl In Blue: Another Recurring Extra at Middleton High School who caught the eye of fans. Several names have been suggested, like "Linda," "Violet," and, inexplicably, "Soup.". Some promotional material names her "Linda" and one episode gives her surname as Platt (or it might be the guy in front of her).

  • Derpy Hooves: A grey-furred pegasus who appeared as a background character in the first episode wearing a dopey, cross-eyed expression on her face, and has gone on to make appearances in several other episodes, usually with Fish Eyes. In the second season she's a recurring background character in the vein of Where's Waldo, generally seen in every episode. Very popular with the fans. Also known as Ditzy Doo, which is a canonical name for an unidentified, scatterbrained pegasus who went north to retrieve the southern birds (and west the previous year) and partially endorsed by Lauren Faust.
    • In a rare instance of the fan nickname becoming canon, "Derpy" went from a fan nickname, to being used in the promotion of the December 2011 holiday special, to being used on an episode of the show in January 2012 (in an episode that also gave Derpy her first speaking appearance).
  • Dr. Whoof/Dr. Whooves: An earth pony with an hourglass-shaped cutie mark and an uncanny resemblance to David Tennant who appears in a few episodes as a background character. Fans don't seem to have decided on a name.
  • Colgate: A background pony who has a blue mane with a white stripe running through it.
    • She is occasionally also referred to as Romana due to sharing the same cutie mark as Dr. Whoof.
    • She was seen dressed up as a dentist in the Halloween Episode. Coincidence or Ascended Meme?
  • Pony Gaga: Rarity in her Pimped-Out Dress and Uncanny Valley Makeup from "Sonic Rainboom". The nickname has also been used for Photo Finish from "Green Isn't Your Color".
  • Steven Magnet: the camp sea serpent from the second episode, "Elements of Harmony". The nickname comes from a caption generated by YouTube's closed-caption auto-generator.
  • Basil: the big red dragon from "Dragonshy", after a dragon with a similar character design from the G1 series.
  • The Plot: Used to refer to gratuitous shots of pony ass, most famously Rarity's in "Dragonshy". Taken from the phrase "I watch it for the plot".

  • Flutterbitch: Fluttershy during the season 2 premiere, after Discord corrupts her into a snarky Jerkass.

  • Screwball: A wall-eyed (possibly due to Discord though) purple pony who first appeared in the season 2 premiere, with a baseball and screw as her Cutie Mark.

    • Also sometimes known as "Hasbrolestia".

  • Roid Rage: The tiny-winged, comically-muscular white pegasus stallion from "Hurricane Fluttershy" who keeps yelling "YEAH!". He's also known as "Big McLargehooves" and "Snowflake".

  • Dr. Finkly: Dr. Finklestein, by his fans.
  • Jewel: Dr. Finklestein creation/wife seen at the end of the movie. While there's no evidence that Finklestein's "Be careful, my precious jewel!" is a reference to her name, the fans use it anyways.
  • Skeledoll: The name of Jack and Sally's fandom daughters. Can be either just ragdolls with bones or a mixture of ragdoll and skeleton.
  • Spiral Hill: The hill where Jack gets his first song and where Jack and Sally have their Big Damn Kiss. Kingdom Hearts calls it "Curly Hill", but if this poll is any indication, fans massively prefer "Spiral".

      • It should be noted that a lot of nicknames came around AFTER the shows cancellation, and thus a lot of this isn't canon happenings, just things that happened in the "official" Sym-Bionic Titan RP. Yes, that's right. There's an official one.

Characters

  • Megs: Megatron, from any given Transformers series. Was once applied canonically to Beast Wars Megatron, but has been used before and since in fandom circles.
  • Galvy: Most versions of Megatron from Transformers become Galvatron, hence picking up this nickname. Never used in canon.
  • The Stooges: Slapper, Dark Scream, and Gas Skunk, from Transformers: Robots in Disguise. The three of them are comic relief villains who are always seen together.
  • In Armada, Thrust was called "Squidhead".
    • This is not actually a fan nickname, as Megatron insulted him with the term in one episode. In Megatron's defense...well, look at him.

    • Alternatively, Choo-Choo Rocket.
      • Similarly, Skyfire/Jetfire (depending on your canon) is referred to as the Space Taxi
