BBEGs with really bad sounding nicknames from the PCs...

[Impeesa]

Ilthrix the White, a fearsome great wyrm, earned (from me!) the unfortunate nickname of "Anthrax the White." I also started referring to Ghaerleth Axom as Gary the Flayer (from Speaker in Dreams, also made a return appearance in the next module in our game). Nothing as great as Jingleballs though.

--Impeesa--

Well, I ran Shadows of the Last War to my players last friday, and Garrow quickly became known as "that damn vampire" or "the f*ing what-was-his-name". Or just "that [insert long string of curses and derogatory terms]".
I also ran the beginning of Whispers of a Vampire's Blade the next day, and Lucan was also adopted under the latter nick. And with the players' amazing name memory, they became "the G-man" and "the L-man" by the end of the day.

None of them are BBEG, but a failed lich got nicknamed Foutremerde (no translation provided as it would not be Grandma-compliant), after a curse he swore once. And the Arks of Limbos, where they have to throw a cursed artifact (your classic "toss the ring in the volcano" plot) is nicknamed the Cosmic Trashcan.

Loss of mystic indeed...

I've picked up the rpg.net-ism of referring to Exalted's Sidereal leader Chejop Kejack as Ketchup (or Kneecap) Carjack but not IC - just on the internet.

(I've also picked up some other rpg.net memes but lots of them aren't granny friendly. Nor are they on topic anyway.)

Neither are BBEG but it seems either of these might have been anticipated:

The evil apprentice we are hunting down, Karthak:

Carfax. Instantly.

And the poor, poor cleric of Wee Jas has been informed he actually worships:


Huge A * *.

I suspect the doling of healing will involve a few million apologies for that little indiscretion!

 

[Stone Angel]

I once had a Barbarian Warlord named Ingrastius, due to late gaming sessions and a funny voice he became...

Bob Kalazoski (in sort of a barney from the simpsons imitation)

There was also The Bringer of Darkness shortened to the bringer then turned to Brought.


Then there was my own name Joe, turned to "Joemosexual" there were quite a few "thats it were goin outside and I am going to pound in your face" moments but now it's just funny.


The Seraph of Earth and Stone

Heck, when I was playing in a superhero game, our team made a specific point to do that to the supervillains. Publically and as soon as possible. We label them something humiliating before they get to unvail themselves, and thus, people are less likely to be supervillians when all it gets them is made fun of.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

The first meeting the epic party I played in had with Gargauth had an unusual reaction from my cleric of Torm, Rozhena......

Gargauth: (to party) Join me or die!!!!

Rozhena: (Without even saying a word) ::flips Gargauth off::

She didn't take his "threat" very seriously at all.... She then tried to blast him with various spells which failed to penetrate his damage reduction.

 

[Emperor Valerian]

The big bad guy my party faced in a recent session was a truly formidable character... a sorcerer/aristocract with the Green Star Adept PrC tacked on, who'd slap on a Globe of Invulnerability, lob a fireball to start things off, and then wade in with his ice bastard sword for grim and gritty work.

My party's nickname for this formidable man?

"Happy." Or, as the party sorcerer referred to him, "Mr. Happy."

The bad guy died rather quickly in the fight (a long series of ones and twos on D20 rolls can do this), but I choose to think he died of embarassment instead.

This Mr. Happy?
