Though the term "fan" should be used loosely, there are plenty of these if you know where to look.

General
- "Suethor" tends to be a common one given to the author of a sporked work. Often, badly-written and/or reality warping original characters are also simply called "The Sue/Stu."
- Another common one is to refer to characters as "Not![Character]". Interestingly, this is usually done for two reasons. The first happens if the character is blatantly themselves In Name Only. The other happens if a character is obviously an expy of another (for example, most of the cast of Fifty Shades of Grey), in which case they're called "Not![Character they're an expy of]."
Series-Specific Reviews
Anime & Manga
- The titular character of Nobunaga-sensei is dubbed "Nobukinz" and "Nobustu".
Fan Fiction
Harry Potter
- This actually came about as early as the first sporkings for The Ariana Black Series, but only "Severed Snap" and "Airhead" stuck long-term.
- The Partially Kissed Hero version of Harry is nicknamed "Harrymort". Augustus (his pet Kneazle he acquired through dubious means) is called "the Very Illegal Kneazle".
- The fic's incarnation of Dumbledore, meanwhile, is known as "Darth Dumbledore".
- Its incarnation of Hermione was dubbed "Herminion" for her subservience to Harry and her complete willingness to believe everything he and Luna tell her.
- After Professor Trelawney is turned into a dryad, she gets the nickname "Tree-lawney".
- Cornelius Fudge is called "Schrödinger's Minister" because the story is inconsistent as to whether he's still Minister of Magic.
- Senseless and Libraryseraph call Saviour of Magic Sirius "Frivolous", because he is the exact opposite of "serious".
- Similarly, Harry is referred to as "Holt" as a Portmanteau of his name and the author's, due to being a very blatant Author Avatar.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
- Some people refer to Danisha, from the Back to the Frollo series, as simply "Danish."
- Her version of Frollo, meanwhile, is dubbed "Clod Rollo".
The Lord of the Rings
- Identities:
- Morwen is renamed "Moon Girl," due to choosing "Rana" (a Quenya name for the "Moon", lit. "Wanderer") as a pseudonym.
- Caranduin and Malinaduial are referred to as "Red" and "Yellow", respectively, due to their names containing the Sindarin words for those colors.
- The fic's version of Boromir is sometimes called the "Boro-wight", due to the Alternative Character Interpretation that he actually did die at Amon Hen and came back as an undead.
- Anwyn is dubbed "Clonewyn" because her characterization and role in the story can be summed up as "copy of Eowyn".
- The fic's version of Denethor is called "Denny Thor".
Pretty Cure
- Riffing Academy—or rather, his characters—attempted to get through Pretty Cure Heavy Metal by thinking of everything that either rhymed with Pistols N Flowers or Guns N' Roses or anything that sounded similar to Velvet Revolver. Each one is different from the last. They haven't run out yet.
Sailor Moon
- In the Sailor Rainbow snark, Sailor Rainbow has been given the nickname "Sailor Skittles" or sometimes just "Skittles."
Other
- Undertale fanfic Bone-afied Security Guards gives us Suesk, Sangst, and Paper-Ruse.
- Leliel_12 and Boyd the Reaver do this a lot:
- The spork of the Fire Emblem Fates fic A Brighter Dark hit Corrin with the nickname Corringula. The authors also tend to refer to Garon as "the Cunning" insincerely when his particularly implausible Gambit Roulettes are brought up. During the end-of-fic section that revealed that Gunter would have been the immortal main villain, they gleefully name him Anakunter.
- Thousand Shinji hits the Tzeentch-worshipping version of Shinji Ikari with Tzeentchji, explicitly because they felt he didn't deserve a more creative nickname.
Literature
Fifty Shades of Grey
- Christian Grey got "Gaston", "Hellspawn" and "Bedbug", and Riffing Academy referred to him as "Chris-Chan" in comments. Ket Makura tends to call him "Fuckface".
- Likewise, Anastasia Steele often gets called Anabella if she acts very similar to Bella Swan. Gehayi used to call her Anaconda (for her clinginess), but since a certain song became popular, she has switched to calling Ana "Anathema" (something intensely disliked or loathed, or the denunciation of something as accursed
). Ket has started calling her "Anabanana" or just "Banana". When Ana starts acting sane and rational, Ket and Gehayi refer to her as Stacy. Her subconscious is called Dora, and her inner goddess, Stephenie. (And no, that's not a typo.) - Mervin nicknamed Dr. Greene, the doctor who makes frequent house calls to wherever Ana Steele is to provide her with birth control, Dr. Giggles. She also dubbed José—the ethnic third wheel who sexually assaults Ana when she's drunk—"Hosebag."
- Dr. John Flynn, Grey's therapist, has been nicknamed Dr. Dolittle.
The Twilight Saga
- Mrs. Hyde takes a page out of Growing Up Cullen and calls Edward "Wardo".
- Mervin calls Jacob "Dances With Plot."
- Dean Winchester, meanwhile, refers to Edward as "Frostyballs", Bella as "Deadweight", and Jacob as "Sixpack". Sands prefers to call the latter "Jerkoff". Nicknames for Renesmee include "Renesbrat", "Renuzit", "Renesbait", "Renesfail", "Re-Name-Me" and "Renaissance Fair".
Other Books
- Astra has dubbed the main characters' adventuring party in The Belgariad "Team Morally Bankrupt". She also calls Barak "the rapist", Lelldorin Fucknunkle, and Relg Douchelot (a portmanteau of douchebag and zealot).
- Debt Inheritance's Fetishized Abuser leading man Jethro Hawk becomes "Edgethro".
- Patch from Hush, Hush has been dubbed "Rag" by Ket Makura. She will sometimes add to that, so he becomes "Fuckrag", "Assrag", "Shitrag", "Dishrag", etc.
- The sporking of The Mists of Avalon refers to Vivianne as the Borg Queen (because she expects to be unquestionably obeyed), and other Avalonians as her drones. Morgaine takes on 'Morganus' as well as 'Migraine' by the point in the story where she falls wholly in line with Avalon's doctrine, and believes all the terrible things Vivianne did (including setting up Morgaine's incestuous sex with Arthur without telling either) are justified and morally right, and that she was wrong to ever think otherwise.
- In Save the Pearls, the mutated Ronson Bramford is given the nickname "Pumaman".
- Astra calls America Singer from The Selection Eagle, because her real name is too silly to countenance.
- In one of her sporkings, Sweettalkeress took to referring to the love interest of the novel, Shadowtrack, as "Doormattrack," "Uselesstrack," "Trophytrack," and similar. Some of the other sporkers joined in as well.
