30 Nicknames for Pit Bulls by Pibble Parents

We think the term “Pit Bull” doesn’t quite capture the essence of these lovable pups.  So, in an effort to find a better fit, here are 30 other fun nicknames for pit bulls.

1. Pibbles: A cute turn on the old label, this should be the new standard.
2. Goofs: These puppers aren’t exactly stoic, so goofs is pretty accurate.  Especially when their tongues flop to the side of their mouths.
3. Goofballs: Same as a goof, but in ball form.
4. Goobers: Slightly different from a goof, goober captures the sometimes clumsy nature of these doggos.
5. Blubbers: These pups can get a lot of treats from being good boys or good girls.  So, sometimes, blubber applies.
6. Boopers: They’ve got boops.  You can boop their snoots.  Hence, they’re boopers.
7. Bloopers: Like boopers, but with a touch of loving, clumsy derpness.
8. Lovebugs: I mean, just look at them!  They’re lovers.
9. Kiss Factories: They are incredibly efficient producers of kisses, if you let them.
10. Toy Destroyers: Because what fun is a toy if it isn’t in a thousand pieces within a minute?
11. Treat Monsters: A treat monster is a creature who can hear plastic crinkle from 2 rooms away.
12. Land seals: Close cousin to the Blubber, a land seal likes to laze.
13. Land manatees: A land seal that lives in Florida.
14. Land Rovers: This one we might’ve made up.
15. Block Heads: Maybe it’s an insult to Charlie Brown, but to us, their cube noggin’ are the best part about them.
16. Melon Heads: A more rounded block head.
17. Meatball Heads: For the more rounded block heads that you want to squish.
18. Wiggle Butts: For some of these pups, the tail wagging starts at the midsection.
19. Nosy Noodles: Oh, were you sitting on the ground?  You must want to be accosted by kisses.
20. Fuzzy Tanks: If they’re intent on coming through, sometimes it’s best to just let them go by.
21. Big Squishes: Often used as an interrogative.  As in, “Who’s a big squish?”
22. Velvet Hippos: They’re big and they’re soft, so they’re practically the same thing.  Except they don’t live in water.
23. Sofa Whales: It’s a scientific fact that a dog is at its greatest mass when occupying your couch or bed.
24. Tuskless Walruses: It’s the giant eyes and snouts that draw the comparison to a Walruses… you know, minus the tusks.
25. Pitopotamuses: See: Velvet Hippos.
26. Cows, but with a personality: Cows can be cute, but do they ever jump four feet in the air when you come home?
27. Furry Linebackers: These pups would be great at football, if face licking wasn’t a 15 yard penalty.
28. Muscle Plushies: They’re strong & soft.  Like if The Rock was a teddy bear and afraid of thunder.
29. Squirmy Blankets: They’re warm and snuggly, but if they haven’t gotten their walk, good luck getting them to stay still.
30. My kids: Because once they’re in your family, they’re in your heart forever.  And they’re in the will, sorry human kids.
