person Nickname How it
developed Steve Kayla Sweetness, Baby he used Baby when he first called her
on the phone, trying to scare her out of Cleveland (before
they had met). Sweetness was used later. Steve Stephanie Little Sweetness Derived from Sweetness used for
Kayla Steve Hope Sweet Thing ?? Steve Justin Dimples, Daddy Dimples, Little
Vic Wally Kurth has huge dimples; Daddy
Dimples was used starting the first time Adrienne became
pregnant (miscarriage); Little Vic was used after he found
out that Justin was related to Victor Steve Jack Jackson, Junior, Billy Jack-Happy
Jack Jackson is an obvious derivation of
Jack, and Jr. refers to Steve thinking of Jack as Harper
Jr., since he was so much like his dad regarding politics
(before they discovered Jack was Billy). Billy Jack-Happy
Jack was used to remind Jack of his true heritage and I
believe referred to him being happy with Kayla. Steve Emma Brunhilda, Wicked Witch of the
West Steve thought of her as a witch, since
she kidnapped Andrew and paid him to torment
Kayla Steve Marcus Homey Refers to the time they spent in the
orphanage as children Steve Frankie Franklin Obvious derivative of the
name Steve Max Maxwell, little Dude Maxwell, like Franklin, is a
derivative of the name; Little Dude was used to refer to
most young boys Steve was fond of Steve Benjy Little Dude, Benjamin,
Benji-Monkey same as above for Little Dude and
Benjamin; Benji-Monkey has no real meaning, just a random
Steve nickname Steve Bo Beauregard, Little Vic Another name derivative and a name to
irritate Bo by referring to him as being like his evil
father Marcus Steve Home Boy refers to the time they spent in the
orphanage together Steve himself Patch Steve referred to himself as Patch in
his early days, because he didn't believe he deserved
anything better. Many of the women he knew around this time
also called him Patch Steve Anjelica Red Witch, Angie Baby refers to her red hair and witchy
attitude toward anyone she considered to be low-class (just
about everyone) Susan Elvis (her son) Sweet Pea One of those motherly names Susan Marlena Dr. Marlena Evans Susan thinks of Marlena as someone who
should be revered because she is a doctor and such a
wonderful person. She uses Marlena's full name to honor
her. Susan Stefano Mr. Stefano DiMera Much like her nickname for Marlena,
she uses this because she sees Stefano as extremely powerful
and she could never just call him Stefano. Susan Abe Colonel Carver A reference to Colonel Parker, the man
who "made" Elvis. This is just another way for Susan to make
a connection between those around her and the
King. Susan Sister Mary Moira Banks Sissy She's both Susan's sister and a sister
(nun) Susan Stefano, Kristen, Vivian and
Ivan Vampires Susan knows that the DiMeras are evil
and are capable of nearly anything, much like vampires.
Vivian and Ivan got the nickname because they assisted
Kristen in her schemes. Susan calls Stefano "The Head
Vampire," since he is in charge of all the schemes. Their
accents also lended themselves to this nickname. Thomas Susan Suzie Q A brotherly take on the
name Lucas Mike, Austin Bro While they are both his half brothers,
Lucas uses the term normally with Mike, but in a
condescending tone with Austin Chris Mary Sunshine Chris (in the early days) said that
Mary could fill the room with sunshine just by walking into
it (can you tell he was in love?). Chris Kayla Blue Eyes she had gorgeous blue eyes Mike Mickey Dad Mike calls him Dad, although Bill is
his Dad, since Mickey raised him Mike Jennifer Squirt Only Michael T. Weiss used this
nickname Mike Jennifer Sis Only Roark Critchlow uses this
nickname Mike April Boom Boom Mike started calling April this out of
the blue when they were setting up decorations for Julio's
surprise birthday party in October 1988 Mike Maggie Carrot her red hair Maggie Red her red hair--Mickey began using this
again in July 2005 after not using it for many
years Caroline Celeste Frankie Caroline has known Celeste for a long
time, but knew her as Frankie, Lexie's aunt--she still uses
the name today, even though everyone else calls her
Celeste Kristen Billie Bill used by Kristen when L. Rinna played
Billie and the two were close pals Jay, Taylor, Brandon Nicole Nikki They are people from her past. She
apparently used the nickname at one point, but wants to
forget it Carly Bo Brady his last name (well, not
really) Carly Lawrence James used in the 1980s, when she didn't
know who he was, and again after being buried alive when she
had amnesia. Celeste Hope Little One used before we found out Gina was Hope
(1994)--unsure if there is a connection between Celeste and
Bo both using this name for her Celeste Hope Cupcake Used during the 94 Maison Blanche
story and again in 1998 Billie Hope Little Miss Hopeless Billie blames Hope for the loss of
Georgia and for stealing Bo Bo Hope Fancy Face Hope used to wear a lot of make-up to
try to impress Bo Bo Hope Little One Bo considered Hope a mere child when
she first met him again Bo Carly Princess Carly's wealthy background which
bordered on royalty Bo Billie Lady Since she was named after Billie
Holiday (the singer) and HER nickname was Ladyday, Bo
started off calling Billie that. He later shortened it to
just Lady. Bo Billie Billie-Belle Reason unknown, however, Belle means
beauty in French, so maybe he's using it for that
reason Bo Roman Bro This is obvious! Bo Shawn Douglas Sailor, Sailor Man Bo and Shawn D's life on the boat as
sailors Bo Zack Tiny Man He began using this in June 2002,
shortly after they got Zack back. He is their tiniest
son. Bo Alice Mrs. H Her last name is Horton of course. He
could never call her Alice, since she's someone he holds in
high honor. Bo Tom Doc H His last name is Horton also. Just
like Alice, Bo couldn't come to call him Tom, so he stuck
with this nickname. Bo Shawn Pop Bo calls him Pop, even though Victor
is his father, since Shawn raised him Bo Kimberly Kimber His shortened form of her full name
(used only by Peter Reckell) Bo and John Ivan Ivan--pronounced "Eye-van" They prefer the American form of the
name to the more flowery French pronunciation Bo and John Lawrence Larry Lawrence is "Sleazy Larry" Roman and John Marlena Doc She is a doctor (duh!) Of course this
was Roman's nickname for her first, but John has continued
calling her this, even though he's not Roman. John Isabella Izzy B short for her full name, Isabella
Beatrice John Diana Colville, Lady Di Her last name is Colville; a reference
to the Princess of Wales John Vivian Viv, Auntie V Some more of his shortened
names John Victor Vic One more of John's shortened
names John Abe Abraham, Partner They were once partners with the Salem
PD (when John was Roman) John Stefano Old Man, Pal, DiMera He is older than John, who uses all of
these as very condescending terms. He also likes to call
people by their last names. John Ernesto Ernie T Another shortened nickname of John's,
probably made to rhyme with IzzyB John Brady Slugger Refers to John's neverending desire
for Brady to be a baseball player someday John/Roman the women he's dated (Isabella, Diana,
Marlena, Yvette, Kristen) Pretty Lady Just one of those things John like to
throw in when talking to his women John (as Roman) Eric and Sami the twinners they're twins and John loves
nicknames Roman Bo Little Brother I don't have to explain this
one Roman, John Sami Peanut, little Pumpkin These are just typical Dad
nicknames Roman, John Carrie Pumpkin Another typical Dad
nickname Roman Marlena Legs When Roman slept on her floor to
protect her from Salem Strangler, he woke up and only saw
her legs Marlena Sami Sweet Girl, Baby Girl Just some motherly names used for her
daughter Diana John/ Supercop her way to suck up to her cop
boyfriend Ivy Pete P.J. his initials Jack Jennifer Miss Horton first used when she was an intern at
the Spectator (M. Ashford's Jack) Jack Hawk Baby Howie Hawk's real name was Howard, and he
was the son of Howard Sr., who Jack and Jenn also
knew Jack Vern Chief Jack called Vern Chief after he was
put in charge of the Spectator when Jack lost ownership of
the paper. Vern hated the nickname Jack Eve Buntcake He used this in a patronizing way
during their marriage. Jack Frankie Francoise After it was revealed that Frankie was
really Francois, Jack began to call him Francoise, the
female version of the name. This annoyed Frankie, which was
Jack's purpose Jack Abby Princess, Sweet Pea, Angel All are typical Dad nicknames (used by
Mark Valley; Angel also used by Steve Wilder) Brian Scofield John/ The Big Guy John was Brian's boss at the Salem PD,
so Brian thought of him as the big guy in charge of
things Brian Scofield Tanner Tan Just a shortened form of his name for
his younger brother Charles, Tony's driver Tony and Kristen Mr. D and Mrs. D As their chauffeur, these are
partially nicknames of respect, but at the same time, of
friendship. Susan Hunter David Martin Loverboy A bitter nickname because he got her
pregnant even though he was in love with Julie Billie Lucas Wonder Boy used in 1994 or 95 after she regained
control of Countess Wilhemina and she and Lucas argued about
how the business should be run Curtis Kate Katie, Baby two condescending nicknames that she
hated Curtis Bo Bozo in reference to the clown with the
same name, since Curtis isn't too fond of Bo Peter, Jack, Laura and
others Jennifer Jenn this is obvious Vern Jennifer Jenny Girl Vern's affectionate name for her--he
started using this when she worked at the
Spectator Santos, a gangmember Jennifer Uptown her higher social class Emilio Jennifer College Girl She was in college when he met
her--also his reference to her being in a higher social
class Ivan Vivian Madame he is only her servant--name
establishes her superiority Jonesy Vivian Flora Dora, Vivvy Wivvy After finding out her real name was
Vivian, Jonesy began calling Vivian "Vivvy Wivvy," rather
than the original Flora Dora, which he used because he
thought she was his long-lost love, a Ziegfield
girl Stefano Marlena My Queen of the Night This started when Stefano was living
next door to Marlena and started coming into her room
through her wardrobe. They had little rendezvous every night
in their own fantasy world. It also refers to her being the
"queen" in his numerous chess games. In addition, there is a
famous piece from an opera entitled "Queen of the
Night." Stefano Kristen Cara Mia Although we never heard this onscreen,
Kristen recalled that Stefano called her this as a child
(meaning "my dear"). "Cara" was the password to Stefano's
computer, that John found at Maison Blanche Stefano Megan Golden Girl This name was used for 2 reasons--
one, she was a blonde. Two, he had high hopes for what she
could accomplish, she was, after all, his
daughter. Calliope Eugene Euge a derivative of his name Tony Liz, Anna Contessa He was a Count, making them a countess
or contessa when they were married Rachel John Johnny We never quite found out the
reason Don Maggie Red refers to Maggie's hair
color Hope Bo Brady first used during their days as PIs
and again in the 90s Hope Alice Gran This nickname was a big factor in
identifying that Gina was Hope. Hope just called Alice
"grandma" before this storyline started. Doug Hope Princess Another dad nickname Doug Julie Fair Lady A reference to "My Fair Lady," but I'm
not sure why. Julie almost everyone younger than she is,
especially her female family members Darling there's a little of Zsa Zsa in
her!?! Shane Andrew Sport, Master Andrew Master Andrew is based on his
upperclass upbringing, as men are masters of the
house Peter Kristen Krissy short for Kristen Nick Eve Evie Nick used this name when he was Eve's
pimp Eve Nick Nicky goes along with him calling her
"Evie" Eve Jennifer Jenn-Jenn used in 1990-91 when there was
jealousy because of Frankie Eve April Ape Used after Nick was killed Alex Anna Saddle Shoes she tried to pretend that she was
naive, sweet and innocent but Alex knew better Sami Lucas General, Soldier Boy He used to wear his outfit from
military school often Sami Jamie J One of those nicknames used to shorten
a friend's name. Lawrence Carly Katerina He was the only one who called her by
her given name, since he knew her many years earlier by that
name Nikki Vivian Aunt Viv, Auntie Viv Nikki was told as a child that his
mother had died and Vivian became his guardian Kim and Bo Shane Gov'ner refers to him being English and
wealthy Roman, Bo and Kim Kayla Kay short for Kayla Shane, other ISA agents Lavina Peachy uses her last name, Peach Lavina Shane Laddie an English term for boy--used because
both Lavina and Shane were English Lavina Kim Lassie To go along with Laddie for
Shane Neil Liz Blondie She's blonde--the restaurant Blondie's
was named after his name for her Kim Tom Doc Horton this one's obvious Shawn Kim Best and Brightest Kim was the child who Shawn had the
highest hopes for Shawn John Son Although not really his son, Shawn
still refers to him this way because he feels the same bond
with John as with his other sons, even though John was
proven not to be Roman. Shawn and other Bradys Kim Kimmie short for Kimberly Austin himself Boston Austin Reed This was his nickname during his
boxing days when he first arrived in Salem Cornflower, Honey Blossom Salem high teens Bianca thought Roman had exceptional strength and
bravery, so she affectionately attached the superlative
suffix "-isimo" to his name

he uses "My dear" as a way to signify that he still thinks
of her as a little girl and uses "My Lady" whenever they're
dancing because he also thinks of her as being much classier
and more sophisticated then he is.
Pollyanna was first used in mid January of 2001, when she
suggested that Brady and Chloe resolve a fight by having a
by sitting down and discussing it.
More Nicknames of
