I like to copy Axel. :(
So yeah, Tomo is also a nicknamer character. I sometimes forget this about her, which is hilarious because it's also something I do OOCly as I'm sure most of you in the chan have noticed. XD; S-sometimes I even mix up whether a nickname is IC or OOC, and other times I deliberately migrate them ACROSS THE FOURTH WALL.
She does have special names for people though, so I might as well make note of them here! Mostly for my own reference. |Dd
Unlike Axel, Tomo's nicknames don't really have meaning, most of the time. It's just something she does when it pops into her head, and sometimes it sticks.
Osaka isn't here, but it's her most famous canon nickname, so I'll mention it. Other canon nicknames: Chiyosuke (although I don't think it's ever explicitly stated which of the girls starts that), Megane for Yomi . . . and Yomi is a nickname in and of itself, and again it's not stated why she's called that, but five'll get you ten Tomo started it (since it predates the events of the manga).
Sano surprisingly never got a nickname from Tomo, probably because she has a thing for saying his name (she uses it much more often in conversation with him than usual for her). However, sometimes she'll ironically call him honey or baby or sweetie or whatever just to be irritating. Recently she's also called him honey completely WITHOUT irony, but she hasn't consciously noticed this. XD
Robert is Boss and Tomo tends to forget that not everyone knows that. It started in CFUW and got transferred over to CFUD and it's the nickname she uses most often. YES, Tomo called Robert Boss before I called Juri Boss. XD It doesn't actually have anything to do with her modliness!
Ed is sometimes known as Edamame or Edo-mame.
The Riku Replica is Pochi, because he didn't have a name and refused to pick one, and Tomo is canonically horrible at naming things (her hamster is named Hamu, and . . . "Osaka," yeah). So she picked Pochi for him. He calls her Tama which secretly thrills her.
Sora is Lil Sis! She sometimes uses this on Sena too, but generally it refers to Sora.
Roxas is Sistwo by association with Sora.
Axel, as mentioned in his list, is Pornstar Butt.
Wanko is Puppy! Because he is. :(d
Yukari has canon nicknames from Tomo that aren't really nicknames, just diminutives. Tomo will call her Yukari-chan or Yukarin. Which is highly inappropriate. XD I don't generally use honorifics for Tomo except -chan, and when she does it repeatedly it's a form of nickname in and of itself, as in
Himeko being Himeko-chan or Hime-chan, and
Peony being Peony-chan.
These are the only people Tomo uses honorifics for except the absent Chiyo-chan, Yuujirou (because he asked), and Tohru by association with Yuujirou.
Itachi sometimes gets the other diminutive from Tomo and is called Itachin. Similarly
Haruhi (Suzumiya) is occasionally Haruhin.
Yachiru is Pinky! SEE TOMO'S A GREAT NICKNAMER RLY.
Seimei is BUTTONS MCFANCY as he reminded me because he's a preppy little twerp! >Dd
Tohru (Kouno) is Ruu-chan, to match Yuu-chan.
Chisame is Chiucchi! Which is a canon nickname of Chisame's that bugs the hell out of her. XD
Simon has a nickname that Tomo hasn't used in awhile: Dr. Smoothlove.
Hiruma is Fucking Ugly, and he calls her Fucking Girl. :Dd
Sousuke is Sarge.
Mugen is Pedro.
Arnaud is Arnie because Tomo sometimes steals nicknames from Norma. >D Senel is Senny and Shirley is Shirl, for this same reason.
She has used Rairai and Shii for Sasarai and Caesar IC too, but doesn't use them often. Ditto Teddy for Ted.
Mikoto is Muu-chan because the third Princess has to match the other two. :(
Akira is Beastmaster because Tomo sometimes develops her own random slang, and one of her new favorites is "The Beast" (referring to an erection). So Akira is the Beastmaster because all the Princesses have a hard-on for him. :Dd
Kyou is Kyoron because ordinarily she'd use Kyon, but uh. She already knows a Kyon! So she just added a syllable >D Also it sounds like "nyoro~n" so it's easy for me to remember
Shunsui is Ojiisan because Anko called him old, and Tomo likes to think of Anko as an old hag, so obviously anyone SHE thinks is old is . . . very old.
Asuna is Twintails, for her pigtails, of course.
And in further playercest news, Greed is "Pops," which she inherited from Ling. Hahah, Tomo has nicknames for all my characters but Yuuma.
Takami is Ichi, just a shortening of his given name.
--and that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Did I forget anyone? I know she's also called Ryuuken by some horrible nickname before, but I can't remember what it was.
