Two come to mind for me:
Mr. Jeb "cheap, insufferable pig" Hawkes
Miss Victoria "I don't understand" Winters
-
(In 1841PT) Gabriel "Expects a Hell Of a Lot From His Drinking Buddy" Collins
Aristede "Can't Handle Comeuppance Very Well" .... uh... no last name I guess...
Andreas "Hand Sold Separately" Petofi
Gregory "That's Not My Skeleton OR Quentin's!" Trask
-
Andreas "Hand Sold Separately" Petofi
LOL, Magnus.
-
Garth "The Chain" Blackwood
Noah "Scarface" Gifford
-
Naturally, we must give mention to Barnabas' nickname right before 1970 PT, when the Leviathans made him a vampire again and Barn's hair developed a shocking streak of grey: the one, the only... SKUNKABAS!
-
Susie the mute waitress.
A few nicknames were used on the show-- "kitten" may be the most well known, but another is Carolyn's name for Bill Malloy: old chin and whiskers. I'm not sure which would have bothered him more if he'd heard it-- being called old or being compared to a cat.
Roger And Carolyn referred to David as the little monster.
But my favorite is Buzz's pet name for Liz: Mommy! [ghost_cheesy]
-
Tim "Killer Bartender" Shaw
Evan "Weasel" Hanley
Guy with no name Tate created: "Guy With No Name Tate Created"
Quentin "I'll Tell You When I've Had Enough" Collins
Minerva "Really Likes Sewing" Trask
Edward "Waxy Yellow Buildup Above Lip" Collins
Laura "Ice On Fire" Collins
Harry Johnson: Well, guess...
Diabolos: "Ol' Desk Job"
-
Angelique "Cassandra" or "Valerie" or "Miranda" Bouchard Collins
Danielle "the most evil woman of the 18th century" Roget
Alexis "I'm NOT Angelique" Stokes, and her sister,
Alexis "I secretly am Angelique" Stokes
-

-
Julie "Hopelessly Devoted" Hoffman.
Barnabas "SYT Fixated" Collins.
Angelique "Barnabas Fixated" Bouchard.
Abigail "Blasphemy" Collins.
-
Barnabas "two sheds" Collins
-
Barnabas "two sheds" Collins
He was only thinking about getting a second shed.
-
Julia "Hot to Trot" Hoffman
-
Harry "Redbone" Johnson
-
Garth "Special Shoes" Blackwood
-
Harry "Redbone" Johnson
What, because he disappeared and was never heard from again?
-
Barnabas "two sheds" Collins
He was only thinking about getting a second shed.
Am I missing something? The Old House?
-
Vicki "Not Too Picky" Winters
-
What, because he disappeared and was never heard from again?
Nope, it's because Harry Johnson was a brown-to-reddish skinned person of Louisiana with dark eyes and straight, frizzy or curly hair.
-
loril54,
Forget about the sheds. They don't matter.
Seriously, that's from an amusing early Monty Python sketch called "Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson." I'm sure it's on YouTube.
-

Nope, it's because Harry Johnson was a brown-to-reddish skinned person of Louisiana with dark eyes and straight, frizzy or curly hair.
The 70s band "Redbone" may have been from there too. They had two hits, "Come And Get Your Love" and I think "Witch Queen of New Orleans". As I understand it, the whole band disappeared and no one knows what happened. I don't mean they just stopped being successful; they physically couldn't be found. Supposedly, the first band made up of American Indians.
Craig Slocum seems to speak like Ray Bolger. What kind of accent is that, I wonder....
-
Julia "Sputter" Hoffman
Judith "Mouth Almighty" Collins
Angelique "Giggles" Bouchard-Collins
Quentin "Quipy" Collins
Carolyn "Queenie" Collins
Victoria "Droopy Drawers" Winters
Roger "Boompsy" Collins
Big Nose Sara (Mrs. Johnson)
Jenny "Looney Tunes" Collins
Elizabeth "Lumpy" Collins Stoddard
-
Vicki "Not Too Picky" Winters
[lghy] A perfect summation of her serious relationships with men! Obviously she'd fall in love with anyone from a control freak to someone who acted like a lunatic nearly 24/7. No wonder she and Frank never really went anywhere: he was much too normal. [wink2]
-
Vicki "Not Too Picky" Winters

I think you and retzev hit the nail on the head MB. Vicki did seem to have a preference for unusual types of men. Guess poor Frank did look too ordinary when compared to a vampire, an ex-convict and a hot-headed amnesiac. LOL
-
Julia "She needs a sedative" Hoffman
Julia "A Spoon Full Of Sugar Helps The Medicine Go Down" Hoffman
Barnabas "Josette You've Come Back To Me" Collins
Elizabeth "I Like Enclosures" Collins-Stoddard
Cyrus "I Like Playing Dress-Up" Longworth
Maggie "Have you Seen My Blonde Wig?" Evans
Sam "The Starving Artist" Evans
-
Roger "In His Cups" Collins
-
Well, Joe Haskell once really did refer to Bob-the-Bartender as "Punchy." [confused5]
Personally, I like to think of Bob as the "Sultan of Stogies"! [thumb] [beer]
-
Aristede : The Gay Blade
-
Barnabas "She's Pretty, I Love Her" Collins
Vicki "Always Entertaining Gentleman Callers in Her Bedroom for Some Strange Reason" Winters
Harry "Yes, His Parents Hated Him Enough to Name Him That" Johnson
Julia "Constantly Fawning" Hoffman
-
"Always Entertaining Gentleman Callers in Her Bedroom for Some Strange Reason"
Yes, that's much shorter than "Victoria"! Good ones... I can see Roger calling out, "Vick--- I mean, 'Always Entertaining Gentleman Callers in Her Bedroom for Some Strange Reason'!! Could you come downstairs please?"
-
Barnabas "She's Pretty, I Love Her" Collins
Perfect!! [thumb] As I've said many times, Barnabas so very rarely ever thought with the head on his shoulders. [wink2]
-
When you're right, you're right MB. [ghost_wink]
As much as I love Barnabas, he did need to get his head out of the clouds. [ghost_embarrassed]
But then, would he be half as interesting to watch if he did? [ghost_nowink]
-
But then, would he be half as interesting to watch if he did?
Indeed he would! My heart always sinks when Barnabas starts going moony-spoony over a sweet young thing.
-
That's a basic dilemma of life, though. It's just as well that it's represented on DS. Pushing further into the issue would have been nice, and maybe an uncancelled DS in the early 70s would have.
-
Quite frankly, the characters of DS, not the supernatural elements, are why I enjoy the show, and a good deal of that is the friendship and jealousy between Barnabas and Julia. It's quite clear with Julia, from the minor things (her "Here we go again!" looks when Barnabas finds Josette in 1897 and finds Roxanne in 1970PT, as well as her "What else have you had, Barnabas?" in relation to Megan) to the major (her outburst over Angelique, and did it look to anyone else like [spoiler]she shoved Roxanne out of the PT room at the end of 1970PT?[/spoiler]). It always provided a good amount of entertainment from those two. Of course, the fact that Barnabas was thoroughly unwilling to let Julia get swept away by some other vampire is an interesting parallel to that.
Back on topic...
"Got-the-Willies" Loomis
Rev. "Mutant Michael Jackson" Trask (revival)
-
Off topic here but something interesting happened recently.
I ordered my credit report from one of the big 3 and unbelieveably the password I got was: Gregorytrask. [ghost_cool]
-
Oh, that's wild! [ghost_cheesy]
