My cousins and I have the inclination to call Gandalf "G-Dawg". Don't ask me why, they started it.

Peregrin>Pips

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!!"

I always want to call Elrond "Socrates" and Aragorn "Achilles" and before anyone mentions it, yes I was raised on Homer.

You eat lots of doughnuts and work on a nuclear plant?

I remember when I saw the FoTR for the first time (just to be clear, I mean the movie) I thought Legolas was pretty much like a vallet dancer that was very popular at the time... but now I forgot his name so it sort of defeats the purpose of a nickname
