A few nights ago my sister called Denethor "Spanky".
Yeah, I didn't understand that either... but Denethor seems to get all of the good names in my house. Sparky, Spanky, Cuddle Bear (inspired by that gigantor fur jacket, as you probably imagined)... it deteriorates from there.
Frodo is, of course, "Fro-fro" or "Afro"
Legolas remains as he was dubbed in the National Lampoon's spoof: Legolamb, but I have been known to call him "The Bow-twanger" without remorse. Then in the movie: Captain Obvious.
Thuringwethil (begs for a nick name) has been christened "Furry-Thurry".
Gimli: Gimster the Pim'ster.
Eomer: "LION!!"
