Fan-made names

From Lostpedia

Fanon Alert!
This article contains tribute art, spin-off fiction, theories, reference and community material created by fans inspired by the show.
It is by definition non-canon, but generally distinct from intentionally fake hoaxes or humorous fan parody material.

Apart from the nicknames characters give to each other on the show, there are numerous names that fans of the show have created as an alternative to the real thing. The names are often used humorously in podcasts, forums, chat sites or recap shows, but are sometimes given to a character when his/her appearance on the show pre-dates the canonical name being supplied.

Here are a few:

Contents

Characters

Flight 815 Survivors

  • General, as a group
  • Tailies
  • Tailenders
  • Udders! (This is from Jin's attempt to describe his first meeting with the Tailies.)
  • Jackface - a reference to contortions this character's face can take on at times of stress; see main article
  • Doctor Who?
  • Sheppardy-Wheppardy
  • Jack To The Future (Mostly in reference to the bearded Jack who appears in the Season 3 Finale flashforwards.)
  • Jears (not so much a nickname but a portmanteau of Jack + Tears - due to the character over-emoting on several episodes.)
  • Ferret-Man (he looks like a ferret. created by CaptainFlafle)
  • Baldy Big Briches
  • Hatch-man
  • Destroyer of bunkers
  • Badass Knife Fighter
  • Capt. Badass

  • Throughout the first season, Television Without Pity referred to Michael by this name and only this name in its reviews.
  • Extra Crispy Sawyer - a reference to KFC's original recipe chicken and its extra crispy recipe chicken. In this context, is meant to discern between the Original (Recipe) Sawyer and the (Extra Crispy) Sawyer. Ditto with Henry Gale (see below).

  • AnaL

Fictional fan couplings

Others

  • Seabillies (Used only for a short while up to mid Season Two. Before then, they had only been previously seen on the boat from Season One finale and looked like Hillbillies on a boat.)
  • Udders! (This is from Jin's attempt to describe his first meeting with the Tailies - his one word in English)
  • Fenry - a neologism derived from Fake Henry
  • Faux Henry - a reference to the author O. Henry; also sounds like the name of the chocolate bar, Oh Henry.
  • Extra Crispy Henry - a reference to KFC's original recipe chicken and its extra crispy recipe chicken. In this context, is meant to discern between the Original (Recipe) Henry Gale and the (Extra Crispy) Henry Gale. Ditto with Sawyer.
  • Benry - from Ben + Henry, now that the character's real name of Benjamin Linus has been revealed.
  • The Artist Formerly Known as Henry Gale - based on the media moniker for the musician Prince when he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol. This nickname was also used by Sawyer in the show.
  • Captain Gorton - before his name was known, a reference to his similarity with the bearded Gorton's fisherman mascot
