I do.
They all have nicknames depending upon their purr-sonality, or because it's befitting in some way.

Geronimo's nicknames are Hooties, Einstein, Brat Cat, Norman Bates, and Indiana Jones.

Winchester's are Big Boy, Lover Boy, Evil Knevil (Evil for short), and Goofball.

BlackJack's are CrackerJack, Spook, & Jabber Jaws.

Samurai's are Little Man, Rotten Egg, Con-Man, and Baby Face.

Jinxy's are Dolly, Itty-Bitty, & Bedroom Eyes.

Ricochet's is Fuzz Butt.

Salem's are Stubby & Daddy's Little Girl.

Spencer's are Forrest Gump & Half-Baked.

Gabriel's is Nubbins (Nubs for short).

Chiquita's are Chi-Chi, Bony Marooni, & Skinny Minnie.

Cassidy's is Stinky Butt.

I think I remembered them all!
I know some of them sound rather bizarre, but they all have a reason for them.

I'm usually too lazy to call them by their names, so they are both just "fluffy" most of the time.

Sadly, if I ever have to put up a lost sign, it will probably say "responds to Fluffy Butt" rather than their actual names.

I also call him Einstein cuz he's extremely intelligent. I've always heard that really intelligent beings that are TOO smart are also usually a bit neurotic. I guess it has something to do with not having enough to do to keep their minds occupied so they are in a constant turmoil which causes hypersensitivity - if that makes any sense....

I can relate to that.
Poor Gabriel doesn't even know his real name anymore cuz I call him Nubbins so much. I'm not sure Samurai knows his name anymore, either.

Shareena: Sweetie Cat, Baby Cat, You-Dratted-Cat!, Goofus (she's not)

Miss Patchwillow: Missy, Baby Cat, Doofus (she is)

Iris: Flower Girl, Sweetie Cat, Flower Child, Baby Cat

You'll notice some of the names are multiple use. There are probably a lot more nicknames that I can't think of at the moment. I don't think any of my cats know their real names, except maybe Iris.

I sure do! Well, some of them at least. Some of them I just call variations on their names.

Harlequin- Harley, Harley Quinn, Hardly, Hard-a-ly, Little Kitty, Little Girl, Princess.
In general I call her Harley most of the time, but I liked to call her Hardly or Hard-a-ly a lot too. She also gets called Princess because she's the spoiled/pampered "girly-girl" of the group. She gets called Little Kitty/Girl because she's very small compared to the others, just 7.5 pounds.

Mister Grey- Ister Gwey, Little One, Cuddle Kitty, Greyboy.
He gets called Ister Gwey a lot because he got his name from the book Dreamcatcher and that's similar to what one of the characters called Mister Gray. I also call him Little One because he was the tiniest kitten in his litter.

Blaze- Blazey, Blazey-poo.


Spot- Spottykins, Chub-chub, Chubby, Big Boy, Big Kitty, Giant Kitty.
Poor guy hardly ever gets called by his actual name-- I call him Chub-Chub way more often than Spot!

Church- Churchie, Churchie-boy, Winston Churchill(his actual full name), Cuddle-Kitty.

Roxy- Rorschach, Inky, Woxy, Moxie, Long Kitty, Foxy-Roxy.
Her full name is Mid-Illini Inky Polydore Rorschach so she sometimes gets called different parts of it.

Sneakers- Sneaky, Sneaksy, Sneaker-Deakers, Sneaks, Grumpy, Silly.

Mine don't have a lot of nicknames, mostly just rhymes of their real names.

Demetri - fancy pants or meta-pita

Farley - barely boy

Anastasia - Ana, Annie or belly-belly

Malika - Millie or silly billy Millie

Ashia - shia-pia or shoobs

Hattie - batty hattie, mad hatter or little magic

I think we had a thread like this a while ago... I don't mind, I love the nicknames! And some of Holland's have probably changed since then.
I've only got the one kitty, and some of her nicknames are:

Pretty Princess
Little Miss So-Cute
Fuzzbutt (my 6 year old niece heard me call Holland this once and now she calls Holland Fuzzbutt ALL the time!
)
Spaz
Monkey
Sweetness, Sweet Pea, Sweetheart
Precious
Little Punk
Scaredy-Cat

I call her so many things, it's a wonder she knows her name!

That's really funny, because Larry's nickname is "Mr. Fluffybutt".

A State of Confusion
Thufir is "Fluffy", "Mr. fluffy", "Handsome", "Good-Looking", or "Sunffaluffigous".

Tre
was "Fuzzy", "Fuzzy-Wuzzy" (the cat with no hat), "Little Buddy", or "Buster Brown".

Promise is "Sweetie", "Squeaky", "Beautiful", or "Little Girl".

Tiny is the least nicknamed of all my cats. I call her "Sweetie" or "Sweetie-pie" sometimes, but usually it's just Tiny.

At one point, since Thufir was "Fluffy" and Tre was "Fuzzy", I started calling Tiny "Furry". When Promise came along, I needed another F-word, so I went with "Funky" since she was a kitten and although she gave grooming her best shot, it usually wasn't fully successful.
