I realy like giving my Skylanders Nicknames. Some have emotional purposes or cartain events connected to them. Others have resemblence purposes. How about you? What are you going to call the Superchargers Skylanders (-If nicknaming is still possible?)

Splat: Smearglez - Because Smeargle is the paint pokemon.
BB Pop Fizz: Beast Cola - I've done it with all My PF's so far. I didn't had the Cola one yet.
Smash Hit: Spike - Due to the big amound of spikes
SS Terrafin: Rocket Shark - Pretty obvious
High Volt: Shield - I was getting low on ideas for this one
DD Trigger Happy: Daring grem - More of reference to his spiecies: Gremlin
Astroblast: None - I'm fine with the name. No need to change
Night Fall: None - See above
SS Stealth Elf: Sniper - More of a random name that I thought had to do with long range
Thrillipede: Caterpie - It's a caterpillar!
Donkey Kong: None - Can't think of anything good
Bowser: None - See above
LL Eruptor: Lance - Obvious name...
Spitfire: Tylor - A reference to a character I made myself.
Dive Clops: Cyclops - I started lacking on names
DD Gill Grunt: Tridant - He's holding a tridant.
BB Roller Brawl: Bone Rush - That's a part of her name...
Fiesta: Rayman - He reminds me of an enemy in Rayman: Legend
Stormblade: Dara B - Reference to one of my characters
H Jet Vac: Riskar B - See above

I'm keeping the normal names. I dont like renaming my skylanders

Something MLP related like the rest of my skylanders

Same. But if I would have to give Soda Skimmer a nickname, I would call it "Bubbles & Fur" look at the supercharged art and you'll know why

Yep I know

I might do that

You can nickname Skylanders?


Okay so I knew that, but we've never bothered.

If you can name vehicles, I'm renaming Hot Streak to Hot Steak, just for old-times' sake.

Now nicknaming the vehicles is something that might happen in my neck of the woods

Is it CONFIRMED that we can rename Vehicles?

GG: Filet O' grunt

I don't know if I'm going to nickname any, but I got one for Astroblast! Lumious the 2nd!

Quote: Luminous35

Is it CONFIRMED that we can rename Vehicles?

Not even normal nicknaming has been confirmed,they never let the select menu show up.

I won't get many,but as I said in my guestbook to people a few times, I like to name them after other characters or silly things because I hardly call them that anyway, everyone goes by their actual names.

Instant Spitfire might have to wait, since with a different color palette there might be better pun opportunities, and we don't know how he looks like yet.
Instant Hot Streak I might rename as Got Steak or something dumb.
Leaning on calling Fiesta as Big Band. He has a summonable band,and it's also is a character in Skullgirls.
Nightfall is Eris,no contest about it. She's pretty much a hero version of that character,minus the godly powers.
Sea Shadow probably Event Horizon,black holes and stuff.
Jet Stream I'll name as Silverwing; for the mod set and the bat from the book/show of the same name. Didn't have too much interest on the show or the book but hey, puns.
Crypt Crusher will probably be Wheel of Fate. The backstory calls the back wheel the Wheel of Doom but it's not as kewl.
If we can nickname villains in trophies and their vehicles,Golden Queen will be Eliza as her trapped version, vehicle Solar Barge since not only is the name I'd have given it,but it's also the boat attack that Eliza has in Skullgirls.

edit: my keyboard does not want to copy and paste today. Changed the Eris video since I mistook some things.

Lol Skyfan.

DO NOT INSULT ASTROBLAST!

Lol Luminous, lol!!

Just came up with another: Shark thank: Kevin O'leary

I am pretty tempted to rename Splat to Elora.

(Wonder how many people will get that one )

First, Gill Grunt has a "trident," not a "tridant."

With being "that guy" out of the way... I have a whole bunch of really great nicknames for my characters in Spyro's Adventure. However, in later games, some of them weren't showing up with their nicknames, which was irritating, but would have been okay. Giant onward I didn't nickname anything, since they removed what I feel there was no need to remove. I play on 360, and in Spyro's Adventure on 360, you could use the chatpad eyboard to rename things. The ability to do that was removed in Giants, and was never brought back. I was just far too annoyed that was is considered a basic feature on 360 was removed, so I never renamed anything again.

Splat - Splotch
Big Bubble Pop Fizz - Tuba Beaker
High Volt - Jumper Cable
Double Dare Trigger Happy - Hotshot Trigger
Smash Hit - Cliffhanger
Steel Plated Smash Hit - Titanium Mace
Shark Shooter Terrafin - Pavement Knux
Stormblade - Ruffles
Hurricane Jet-Vac - Master Bluster
Legendary Hurricane Jet-Vac - Power Bluster
Spitfire - Afterburner
Dark Spitfire - Exhaust Flames
Lava Lance Eruptor - Roadside Lava
Hammer Slam Bowser - King Koopa
Dark Hammer Slam Bowser - Shadow Koopa
Dive-Clops - Eye Sea Guy
Deep Dive Gill Grunt - Hydro Lunge
Thrillipede - Crashhopper
Easter Thrillipede - Egghopper
Super Shot Stealth Elf - Turbo Meadows
Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf - Shady Meadows
Turbo Charge Donkey Kong - DK
Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong - Nightmare DK
Fiesta - Senor Calavera
Frightful Fiesta - Calavera Grande
Bone Bash Roller Brawl - Street Vendetta
Legendary Bone Bash Roller Brawl - Street Anarchy
Astroblast - UFO
Legendary Astroblast - Alpha UFO
Nightfall - Poison Algae

Now that I think of it, I should get that creepy Easter Thrillipede variant just to name it Bugs Bunny.

Renaming them backwards

I rarely ever nickname skylanders. I've only done it once with my custom Snap Shot that I took the traptanium weapons out of, painted him yellow, red, and orange, and called him Fruit Punch.

While I do intend to nickname my Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser in amiibo mode (every one of my FPs has a nickname, and these two would be no exception), I don't often nickname non-variant Skylanders, so they probably won't have special names as Skylanders. Having said that, here are the nicknames I'd use for some of my potential SuperChargers:

●Turbo Charge Donkey Kong - Super Kong (as an FP)
●Hammer Slam Bowser - Koopa King (as an FP)
●Steel Plated Smash Hit - Chip Thunk
●Frightful Fiesta - Bootternut
●Shark Shooter Terrafin - Scarthug
●Hurricane Jet-Vac - Ace Skimmer
●Lava Lance Eruptor - Blister
●Deep Dive Gill Grunt - Blue Squidget
●Super Shot Stealth Elf - Stealth Gelf
●Bone Bash Roller Brawl - Kaslamski
●Big Bubble Pop Fizz - Duane Dribbley
●Double Dare Trigger Happy - Tongue Tied

Wow, I have been watching WAY too much Red Dwarf lately...still, it was fun coming up with those nicknames.

Enough will, trust me.

Never liked nicknames so won't use them in SuperChargers either but I would definitely call my Dive-Clops "Mike" and my Fiesta "Calaca".

Spitfire: Candlehead
:stealthelf: Jubileena
DK: Viridi
Bowser,: Gracia
Stormblade: Sky
Diveclops: Adorabeezle
Fiesta: Shreeky
:terrafin: Anna
:jetvac: Minty

Splat: Ella
:eruptor: Zoey
:popfizz: Rapunzel
:rollerbrawl: Darla
Astroblast: Joy
Thrillipede; Taffyta
:triggerhappy: Vanellope

Stormblade: Wawee- a nickname my kids give to their Grandma
TC Donkey Kong: Johnny Kong- Named after me
Nightfall: Jaq- Nickname of my wife.
Smash Hit: P Claw- nickname of my youngest son
Fiesta: Senor Lukain- nickname of my eldest son
DD Trigger Happy: Nitro Circus- After the stunt show
Thrillipede: Flynn- I thought it was fitting
SS Stealth Elf: Sage- A name I would use if I had a daughter
BB Pop Fizz: Louis Armstrong- Pretty self explanatory just minus the trumpet and add a tuba
Astroblast: Stormtrooper- Kind of looks like one

Other new Characters:

Ka-Boom: Col- Nicknamed after a guy at my work
Bouncer: G-Man- After the GWS Giants mascot
Zap: Billabong- He surfs so it makes it sense to me

As you can see I have a little weird system going on here

Splat: Squid Kid (Because Splatoon and one name for a young goat is a kid so are you a squid or a KID?)
Dark Donkey Kong: DK (This one is obvious, it's a well known abbreviation for Donkey Kong)
Bowser: Koopa King (Bowser is the Koopa King, therefor he is Koopa King)
Dark Spitfire: Dank Spitfiyah (wordplay)
Super shot stealth elf: NINJAsk11 (Darkspyro reference)
Dive Clops: Dyclops (Pun on the word cyclops, but he is a dive clops so his name is dyclops)
Nightfall: Eris (From Sinbad and the seven seas)


Also thrillipede is a centipede or a millipede, not a caterpillar @Original poster

Hmm....if I owned the Nintendo gaming system, I'd rename Splat "Wee Ewe". LOL I know that she isn't a sheep but the pun is so awful that I couldn't resist saying it.

But seriously I've only renamed a Skylander once, my very first Hex. I hated the quotes around the name, so I undone that and never renamed another Skylander ever again.

Hurricane Jet-Vac: Gadolt
Xenoblade spoilers:

Jet Stream: M97 EAGLE
The shape and detail of Jet Stream remind me of a Mechon, so I wanted to name it after one. And what does it look like? An eagle. So I named it after that model of Mechon. (You might be thinking I'm a real nerd for remembering Mechon models and names, but nope, I actually had to search the Xeno Wiki for a good model to name this after )

Thrillipede: SPOONE
He looks kinda like The Tick and I may as well get something out of him by giving him a funny nickname.

Bone Bash Roller Brawl: Skull Kid
Obvious reference is obvious.

Splat: Painbrush
Someone suggested this nickname on the news thread a long time ago. I like it much better than the official name.

Big Bubble Pop Fizz: Billy
Nostalgia Critic reference. Pff! He's new so we hate him!
Soda Skimmer: Bubble Thing
I was so wrong to judge you Billy! So wrong!

Double Dare Trigger Happy: Buttowski
His outfit kinda reminds me of Kick Buttowski. I liked that show. That's really it.

Astroblast: Space Ace
I don't know why, but Astroblast makes me think of the main character from the game Space Ace.

You are correct but using a Nintendo pun on my Xbox 360 just doesn't feel right.

I don't nickname my Skylanders, but I usually think of some names:

• Splat: Splat Toon (bad, but good pun)
  
• Big Bubble Pop Fizz: Jazz (don't have much creativity)
  
• Dive-Clops: Fish Eye (obscure reference to the engine of the cancelled Sonic X-Treme)
  
• Deep Dive Gill Grunt: King Triton (don't need to say)
  
• High Volt: 220 V
  
• Double Dare Trigger Happy: Mad Max (he just makes me remember of that movie)
  
• Thrillipede: Muscle Bug (lack of creativity too)
  
• Super Shot Donkey Kong: Rambo (???)
  
• Turbo Charge Donkey Kong: Expand Dong
  
• Fiesta: Mariachi (you understand)
  
• Bone Bash Roller Brawl: Bone-Rang (Dino-Rang)
  
• Spitfire: Flame Viper (lack of creativity)
  
• Lava Lance Eruptor: Lava Fencing (can't think of anything)
  
• Hammer Slam Bowser: The King (looks cool)
  
• Smash Hit: Alvin (ok, bad one)
  
• Shark Shooter Terrafin: Land Torpedo (he's a Land Shark, so I think that's good)
  
• Stormblade: Angry Bird (the best I can think)
  
• Hurricane Jet-Vac: Hair Dryer (the weapon he uses)
  
• Astroblast: Crystal Gem (don't need explanation)
  
• Nightfall: Bayonetta (the hair)
  

I haven't nicknamed a skylander since Giants.

IT IS TIME FOR THE RETURN


Splat- Ink Kid (A baby goat is called a kid.)
High Volt- Kryptdown (he looks like kyrpt king and countdown mixed.) or S.W.A.T
DDTH- Mad Max (He seems like a MAD max type.)
Frightful Fiesta- Manolo (Reference to a REALLY GOOD movie. guess what it is, and you win.)
Stormblade- Bird Waifu []
Thrillipede- The Tick (It's pretty obvious)
Dive Clops- Big Daddy (Bioshock)
Nightfall- Predator (The mask..)
Astroblast- Zach Attack (i'll let you guess.)

and if you can nickname vehicles-

Splatter Splasher- Goat Boat

Well that's disappointing...

I haven't nicknamed my Skylanders until now, but I was going to finally start. (What with finally slimming down my collection.) Mainly because I don't like the repose Superchargers being the same characters as the S1 versions...

I even had some (but not all) pseudo-headcanons to apply to them. Like Super Shot Stealth Elf being Stealth Elf's older sister. Etc. (Not sure how I was going to go about the Minis...)

And just to make each skylander more of a character, to me, I was going to start giving them real names. Because let's all be honest, very few Skylanders have real names. Stealth Elf is a description, Chop Chop is an onomatopoeia, Drill Sergeant is a title, and Trigger Happy is an adjective. Even some Skylander who do have names, arguably, don't have very good ones. Eruptor, Jet Vac, Pop Fizz, and Terrafin just sound silly. Off the top of my head; Spyro, Cynder, Bowser, DK, Hex, Fiesta, Barkley, and Splat are the only skylanders with good, actual names. And half of them were established characters before skylanders started! (Which might be the only reason I'm not complaining about DK, honestly...) There are probably more, but I can't think of them right now. (Other than Fright Rider, and that's only being half true. I like the bird being named Fright, but I don't like the Rider being named Rider... He should get an actual name too!)

Isn't Rider already a real name, though? I mean, I usually see it spelled as "Ryder", but that's just splitting hairs.

You're not wrong about some characters having weird names. A lot of characters had better/more popular prototype names, to be honest. Remember when Whirlwind was called Stormee? Whirlwind's just kind of bland. The same is true for a lot of other mundane names.

I completely forgot that "Ryder" was a real name...

As for prototype names, the only one I know of is Sun Dragon for Camo (in this case, Camo sounds better). And I agree, Stormee us a much better name than Whirlwind! Maybe I should look at more Spyro's Kingdom prototype videos/articles...
