Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
To honor the old Halfling tradition of addressing others with spontaneous nicknames that make sense (instead of the garbage some questionable 'authority' has given them) and in spirit of the thread Belkar's colorful names for other characters (who brought this madness upon us), I want to collect all 'names' the one and only Belkar Bitterleaf (which probably is a name the Belkster bestowed upon himself) uses.
So without furder ado, here is a table containing the so far used 'names', presented in a sortable table - so if you find the chronological order boring, you can simple sort it by alphabet or character addressed
Strip # Name Addressee Uncivil Servant (p.3) click-face Ankheg Uncivil Servant (p.8) Ali S. Fakenamington Belkar Uncivil Servant (p.9) badass ranger Belkar with cloak Uncivil Servant (p.9) brokeass ranger Belkar in dirty rags Uncivil Servant (p.11) Lowlife Thug #1 Brint Uncivil Servant (p.11) Lowlife Thug #2 Shart Uncivil Servant (p.11) these two scuzzbuckets Brint and Shart Uncivil Servant (p.13) Dough Boy Mayor OtOoPCs (p. 62) Friar Tuck Monk OtOoPCs (p. 62) a man with a REAL class Belkar OtOoPCs (p. 66) Mr. Principal Roy OtOoPCs (p. 67) the Handsome Halfling & Company The Order of the Stick OtOoPCs (p. 69) The chick Haley OtOoPCs (p. 69) the blond Elan DStP (Masterwork Theatre) this stupid paladin-town Azure City DStP (Masterwork Theatre) the other three idiots Elan, Durkon and Vaarsuvius DStP (Masterwork Theatre) this whole thing with Gates and a god-eating monster Main storyline 1 Daddy Belkar 2 Loser Elan 34a Dwarven crap Dwarven iron rations 42 those giant lumbering oafs The Order of the Stick sans Belkar 42 the most badass halfling EVER Belkar 47 freakshow Yikyik 48 little orange piece of sh— Yikyik 48 [Yikyik's] big dumb door-opener Thog 60 The Linear Jerks The Linear Guild 107 Ears Vaarsuvius 107 Pointy-eared, purple-haired, ambiguously-gendered pain in my ass Vaarsuvius 115 my pretty little chunks of XP Goblins 140 Beardy McBeerstein Durkon 171 Miss I-have-ranks-in-Sense-Motive Haley 202 you ethnocentric bitch Miko 208 Mr. Paladin Warhorse Windstriker 219 the Ice Queen Miko 242 the Belkster Belkar 244 woman of my dreams Roy 244 baby Roy 244 this hot piece of ass Roy 244 Sweet Thing Roy 244 my Rod of Lordly Might ??? 249 baby Roy 270 "still alive" Belkar 281 Snow White Miko 281 the 8th dwarf, "Stabby" Belkar 281 you fascist cow Miko 287 Sweetwings Celia 294 Blondie Elan 295 loser Durkon 304 Queenhilt Roy 322 Wise Mister Owlbear Owlbear 322 Vaarsuvius Pop Vaarsuvius 323 That pointy-eared pissbucket Vaarsuvius 323 asshat Vaarsuvius 323 you androgynous twit Vaarsuvius 325 a boring stupid elf Vaarsuvius 326 Robespierre Belkar 331 Miko's stupid horse Windstriker 335 That Bilbo Tool Bilbo Baggins 338 The Belkster Belkar 340 Ears Vaarsuvius 348 Sunshine Elan 379 ho Sabine (in disguise) 379 the geezer Shojo 383 you frickin' bastard Nale 383 you spineless piece of weasel crap Nale 383 boss Nale 402 the Beast with Two Backs Elan and Haley having fun 408 THE WACKY OLD DUDE WITH THE CAT Shojo 419 paladin-turned-murderer Miko Miyazaki Miko 419 honey Miko 419 a go-getter Miko 428 "It's Pat" Vaarsuvius 435 Shlubbo Noname-zaki Azurite soldier 439 A SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR Belkar 467 a dumbass, a wuss and a sissy Hinjo 467 No-Name Daigo 469 Skullsy Eye of Fear and Flame 469 you third-rate Yorick knock-off Eye of Fear and Flame 469 Orangina Hobgoblin soldier 476 a sexy shoeless god of cooking Belkar 477 my little pointy friends Belkar's daggers 477 Scarface O-Chul 515 Mustache-for-Brains Thanh 515 [Thanh's] partner-in-ridiculous-blue-facial-hair Hinjo 522 the Belkster Belkar 524 "Miko 2: Electric Bugaloo" Thanh 530 the Scruffinator Mr. Scruffy 530 Whiskers Von Thor-Bugger Durkon 535 Fuzz-Lip Thanh 535 the Scruffinator Mr. Scruffy 567 You weasely little piece of dragon crap Oracle of the Sunken Valley 569 That scaly oracular bastard Oracle of the Sunken Valley 573 the magical Cart Fairy Celia 573 Happy Fun Sunshine Land Greysky City 575 Froggie Man Grubwiggler 575 a centaur Belkar 576 Herman Munster Flesh golem 576 the Cart Fairy Celia 578 A giant girl leprechaun Haley 578 (magic) scarecrows Golems 578 Happy Fun Sunshine Land Grubbwiggler's 578 a unicorn Belkar 605 Wacky old dude...

*Several of these were contributed by Belkar, but it is not possible to discern which came from him.
Some things to be aware of:
- If you find something not listed, please point it out (best with the strip, so I can put it in the right place). To make this a complete collection I need some help
- I will collect any reference from Belkar to anyone/anything else (including himself and non-character stuff like Evil Father Patrol or Happy Fun Sunshine Land - because it is way too awesome not to list )
- I will track multiple usages from different strips (though not within one strip) and/or bonus material
- I will not be overly strict (in fact I will not dismiss any finding) on what count as 'name' or whether something can be listed or not. If it is something said by Belkar that addresses some character I consider it as fair game
- Any type of feedback/questions/comments/improvement ideas are welcome, so feel free to post

Re: "How Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
I dunno if we can count Bloodfeast there. As far as we know, that's his real name after joining up with the Order.
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: "How Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Minor quibble: if I remember correctly, Belkar didn't call himself Ali S. Fakenamington. I thought the mayor called him that because he forgot to give his name. (Will have to double check my PDF when I have time for more than a drive-by posting.)

Re: "How Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Spoiler: Uncivil ServantThe panel before the newspaper ends with the major questioning a leaving Belkar "Wait - what IS your name, brave adventurer?".
So while we technically don't have the confirmation that Ali S. Fakenamington is used by Belkar, I think if Belkar wouldn't have answered the question, a better headline would be "Ankheg slain by anonymous hero". Asking someone for their name and then just inventing something sounds not that reasonable to me.
Edit: On page 11 the mayor greets him with "Oh, it's you, Fakenamington." - this imo makes only really sense if Belkar said he was Ali S. Fakenamington.
Edit: some additional detailLast edited by ChristianSt; 2014-05-29 at 02:21 AM.

Re: "How Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Title should be "What characters should really be called," not "How ..."
The answer to "How" would be an adverb (loudly, cautiously, rudely, etc.) or a methodology. The answer to "What" is the actual word or phrase being used to address them.

Re: "How Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Thanks for all the input . I will add them later, when I have the time to do so.
I personally don't really want to draw any lines what qualifies and what not. Unless there is objection against it, I will collect any non-trivial* statement Belkar uses instead of the "normal" name.
*So I don't want to collect every time Belkar calls V "elf" or Miko "paladin". If Belkar provides additional important content about that person, I think it is fair game.

The full "ambiguously-gendered" sobriquet is "Pointy-eared, purple-haired, ambiguously-gendered pain in my ass", from panel 6 of Defense is for Losers (OOTS #107).

How about extending the list to cover all characters, not just Belkar? So we could have Thog's Talky-Man and Not-Nale, as well as Celia's Soul-Patch.Last edited by Ron Miel; 2014-05-28 at 01:07 PM.

Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Wow, and I thought the first thread would feature a rather large amount of nicknames.
I now have the feelings that this was only the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for all contributions - and massive update incoming soonish.
As basically outlined above I personally don't want to open the discussion "is X a name or not". If someone points to something (that hits the bar minimum, i.e. Belkar addressing another character (or group of characters) with something else than their normal name*) I will include it.
Yes, some things probably are a (more or less) big stretch to call names. But first it somewhat matters in context (e.g. why does Durkon get premium top notch names whereas V only gets some kind of random slurs?), second there are some really awesome things that if I'm honest aren't really names (like Sexy shoeless good of war) and lastly I don't really want to spent that much time to figure out whether something is a name or isn't a name. [And I have seen things while searching a bit that I will not include in the list, because I think there don't fit here - but should someone point them out, I will include them.]
If If there is enough demand for such a distinction, I will not enforce my opinion onto this thread and change that stance. But I think this would shift this thread from "lets find funny things Belkar said" to "is <this> a name or not?". And the second one does sound kinda stupid to me.
*Or nickname with general widespread use. From the top of my hat the only thing that should be in this category is "V" for Vaarsuvius
On this I'm not sure - what do others think about it? Should we track other things than characters? Should we list places? Or maybe even other things (if that even really happens)?
I'm open to the general idea, but I don't want to "derail" the thread, unless that is what the people here want.
Basically the same as above (if other people really want it), with a strong personal opinion of not wanting to do it. First of all I think it doesn't add that much (noticeable counterexample would probably be Xykon - but he doesn't even remember any name, so I'm not sure whether that should be count. Belkar on the other side demonstrates more than often that he does remember the names of other characters.) and second of all it adds a whole new layer of problems to the question "how to best organize this collection?" [and keeping is simple isn't that bad].Last edited by ChristianSt; 2014-05-28 at 03:02 PM.

Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
I agree, don't take “name” too strongly. Further, note that Belkar specifically uses capital letters in many of these examples, and he says “the Beast with Two Backs” with capital letters in particular.

hehe, it's fun when threads help each other. I was reading some old comics to vote in Porthos' "Stick Awards" thread and found this:

Shlubbo Noname-zaki, refering to a "noname" soldier during Azure City's battle.

Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Just noticed your update, and I think that "Herman Munster" actually refers to the Flesh Golem, who (which?) looks just like Herman. My bad for not clarifying the nominations in the previous post.
[Edit: oh, on the topic of whether to include places, I think it makes sense, as the Belkster tends to aptly-name them in the same spirit as he does people (mockery, mostly).]

Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Oh, I didn't see the questions about what this thread should include. I'm all for us including places and other character's nicknamings, as long is it is shown who is giving the nicknames.
