Ever wonder how people get the nicknames they do? How on earth did we get the name Dick from Richard? Or Bob from Robert? Or Ned from Edward? Recently on Twitter, people gave an insight into how these nicknames may have evolved. After one Twitter user shared how their dog's nickname evolved, folks around the Twitterverse began sharing their own pet name evolutions. And the results are pretty amazing! 

 

 

The purrfect pun. 

 

 

 Behold, the Fluffiest of the Elder Gods. 

 

Not short enough, if you ask me.

 

 

You have to Keith 'em guessing!

 

The simpler, the better.

 

 

 

From Hero to Zero

 

It really does make purrfect sense.

 

 

 

He might not have been the sharpest crayon in the box, but he sure had the best nickname. 

 

All I can say is ... Poor Rupert. 

 

 

The wonderful thing about Tigger, is Tigger is a very polite cat. 

 

Now that's one Cool Cat. 

 

 

Call me Bon. James Bon. 

 

 

Autocats, loaf out!

My first ever cat, Smokette, lived to be 20 years old. She passed a few years ago. In her 20 years, she was rarely ever called by her full name. She went from Smokette to Smo, then on to "Schmo", Smoke-a-Woke-a to S'Mowgli. As she aged, her meow eventually turned into a raspy sort of bleat, so we took to calling her the Old Goat. But mostly, she was Smo. Rest in peace, Smo!

    Our cat was adopted with the name Annie. We then changed it to her proper Christian name of Anchovy. It then evolved to The Chove, then to Chovy, then to Madam Cho, then Tofu Cho, to T.C. for short. Where it goes next, no one, especially her, knows.

    Nutmeg = Nutty Buddy = Nut Butt = Butt. I call my cat Butt, and I love her.
