• Poppy is mainly called Pops, and sometimes Poppet.


  • Too funny indeed. I love it that everyone seems to have nicknames for their babies.
    Seren Jane is also know as "Girlie"

  • First Basenji's

    These are great! I'm glad I'm not the only one with crazy nicknames for my boys!

    Moe - MoMoe or Baby

    Cody - Codyboy, Bubby (I tried to say baby and buddy at the same time, and it stuck), Bubbs, His Royal Grumpyness, Mr. Grumblebutt, and Grumpypants (he's not really grumpy, but the only noise he makes is a grunt or grumble).

    When they are both in the very back yard playing, they also answer to "Boys" when I call them.


  • Shaye is also Shaye-kitty, Poopydog, Beastie, Pruney-Puss, Sweetiebuns, and some which I cannot in good conscience put in black and white….....

  • First Basenji's

    @Shaye's:

    some which I cannot in good conscience put in black and white….....

    Ah yes, Cody has a few of those too! So did Moe as a puppy!


  • Buddy is known as Clown Boy at the dog park for his antics.


  • Cody has a few-
    dodo head(when he was a puppy he once pooped in his crate and somehow managed to get it on top of his head), Dude, buck a roo(I had a doggie cowboy hat I used to put on his head), F*&King Dog, little man

    Aurora-she's overweight so her names go as follows

    Chunky monkey, bubble butt, honeypie, her grumpiness (she 13 yrs old and doesn't like to move from her comfortable spot), her highness, princess

    I am sure I am missing a few. Some I can't write in a public forum.


  • I though of another name for Aurora my husband uses this regularly. .. little miss grump grump. Again she is old and doesn't like to be moved once comfortable.

  • Irena - I am quite a red dwarf fan, so the name kinda came from there.

    I also remembered another name for Nakura. Maybe only UK people will understand it. We call her 'simples' after the meerkat in the 'Compare the meerkat' advert. When she folds her ears back like a whippet. HEHEHE 😃
