It's funny seeing several I coined, as well as the classics. I always found it interesting to watch which ones take off or don't.
It's isn't always clear why some names work and others don't. I thought Ronnie Kray was one of my cleverer ones when she went gangster, but it never got used widely. In fact, it hasn't been mentioned above!
I would say my most popular contribution is Rambo that originally came from a scene in which she threatened Phil when he was about to hit Ian. Crackfox was already calling her 'that bloke Jane', and Rambo sort of superseded it.
The only one I felt bad about was Cyclops. I thought I was a bit of nasty b@stard for coining that - I bet I even contributed towards his depression - but it's been surprisingly popular around here!
I dare say we've forgotten many nicknames for past characters . One I had a lot fun with was calling DC Summerhayes (the female detective who had an affair with Max), DC Summerwhore. A female poster on here got quite annoyed with me about it, which made it all more amusing - could have been the actress herself, I suppose...
Yeah, you did come up with a lot of them, Deceiver.

An older one that I remember... Jar Jar Binks (Zsa Zsa)
Thick Ricky Butcher
Dumbwar
Chewbacca
Weren't there some for Carol Jackson, Kat and David Wicks as well?
There was someone who had the username "Billy Fenwick" and it used to make me smile every time they posted, for some reason. Easily amused.

Well done for remembering these. Jar Jar Binks was an early one. I recall the others, except for Chewbacca - who was that?

I came up with David Winks because he literally did quite often. Was there another name for him due to his eating?
Carol Cocksûcker was another name that got me into trouble! But if you look at her history, Carol has been a slut.
I sometimes referred to Billy as Billy-no-mates, but now he's banging Honey again, it no longer applies... share

I vaguely remember this, dunno about the name but he was always eating toast.
Didn't we have a funny name for Michael Moon when he was about? Like Dracula or something lol share
Yea, I remember his toast munching and key jangling was always commented on here, as was Max's "I dunno, do I?" and Bradley's "...heh".

I can't recall, either, but I do think ther was one. We kept talking about Derek raping him as well...

That must have been Peter because of that scene!

Ye it was Peter because of the scene when he found out Lucy was dead. I think Peter was also "Paedo" because people misheard Fatboy calling him "P-Dog".
shareYep, you jogged my memory now...
