Its 2018 remake actually does use the name ''Tovlis Gunda'' on-screen, however.

** 'Bear Zombie' and 'Spinesnake' for the first monster encountered [[spoiler: who turned out to be Stitches.]]
** 'Hound Zombie', 'Hook Zombie', 'Plant Zombie', and 'Bellsprout' for the second monster, Daisy. She was also called 'Maddie', but that was more a case of mistaken identity, since Maddie was another patient [[spoiler: who died permanently.]]
** Stitches for the body found on the wall of the Dummy Room [[spoiler: Which turned out to be his actual name.]]
** Monitorface or Monitorhead for Bella, since her first few appearances were monitors showing her face.
** Subject #6 [[spoiler: though he's actually #5]] or just Nook for Tom Nook, to avoid confusing him with [[OneSteveLimit the protagonist Tom]].
** 'Emobird' for Jay.
** 'Spade' for Ace because he wore an Ace of Spades logo on his shirt [[spoiler: before the facility was abandoned]], and signed his name like that. Calling him this mostly stopped once it was made clear his name was Ace.
** 'Sven' for the goat skull in the cabinet, to fit in with the ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' ThemeNaming ('Sven' being a goat villager from that game). He's also assumed to be the same person as 'Dr. S', who signed one of the many notes found around the facility.
** 'Mr Water Cooler' for a water cooler in one room, which became a meme among players because its taps look a bit like an unamused expression.
* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'':
** Handlers occasionally give characters nicknames based on their personality traits and the like, and occasionally a character gets a malicious nickname made for the purpose of mocking them. Prominent examples of fan nicknames in SOTF include Kenurton Larris for v3 character Ken Lawson, BB for Blood Boy (people tend to prefer calling him by the shorthand "BB" for whatever reason), and in the mocking sense "* charactername* v2" for characters that are obvious clones of previous SOTF characters. "Mariavel v2" = Melina, "Damien v2" = Eduardo, and "Oliver v2" = Gabe Theobaldt, for example.
** A number of members (although it was sparked by the character's handler) have begun to refer to Bobby Jacks as '[[Franchise/MetalGear Bocelot]]' due to performing an [[OffhandBackhand Offhand Backshoot]] on another character (and hitting him in the head). Members joke that soon he will be ricocheting bullets off walls, and that before long he will have one of his arms cut off.
** Handlers sometimes give nicknames to characters who share the same first names to differentiate them. For example in V4, there's Happy!Nick (Nick [=LeMonde=]) and Sad!Nick (Nick Reid). And Sarax, Stan and Seizure Girl for Sarah Xu, Sarah Tan and Sarah Atwell respectively.

*** All three major networks have been given nicknames by those who believe them to have a left-wing bias: "Americans Broadcasting Communism", "National Bolshevik Corporation" (or alternatively, "Nothing But Communism"), and "Communist Broadcasting System". On the really extreme right, there are people who refer to NBC as "Negro Broadcasting Corporation", [[NWordPrivileges except they don't say "negro"]].
** Creator/FoxNewsChannel: "Faux News: False and Biased" because of the network's very right-wing slant despite their own claims of being "fair and balanced". Also given the tag line "We Distort...You Comply" (its actual tag was "We Report...You Decide").
*** Its left-oriented competitor MSNBC is sometimes said to stand for "Mostly Shit, Never Been Corrected". Also, "Most Socialist Network on Basic Cable". Detractors of MSNBC have also called it "MSDNC," claiming that it serves as the Democratic Party's propaganda machine just as Fox is known for its pro-Republican Party coverage.
** In its early years, Creator/TheHistoryChannel was called "The Hitler Channel" for the large number of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII based programs on it. Nowadays detractors of History refer it as "The Hysteria Channel" due to NetworkDecay with History now devoting its time towards CloudCuckoolander ConspiracyTheories and ''Series/PawnStars'', which while may still have a scant of historical value especially if the items featured were notable artifacts, are still regarded as petty reality show nonsense.

** {{Creator/CNN}} acquired the nickname "Clinton News Network" during the 2016 election, obviously an insinuation of the network being biased in favour of UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton. The term "Clinton News Network" has been used primarily by Creator/DonaldTrump's supporters (which Trump eventually adopted himself) as well as some Bernie Sanders supporters. Conservatives call it "Communist News Network" while far-left types call it "Centrist News Network".
*** Many of the network's detractors in its early years, who doubted a 24-hour cable channel devoted to news could be successful, dubbed CNN as the "Chicken Noodle Network". This and the other nicknames above for the channel play off its full name "Cable News Network".

** Another Mac example is the 2019 Mac Pro, which has been mockingly called "cheese grater" due to the design of the front air vents. The nickname also applies to the much older Power Mac G5.
