Fandom nicknames

Real and made up names for music,  YouTubers, movies, and shows for fun


Harry Potter: "Potterheads"
Self explanatory, their heads filled with Harry Potter and the great magic that it brings.


Dr. Who: "Whovians"
Obviously relates to the Dr. Who name and adds mystery and pride to this unique fandom



Celldweller: "Cellmates"
A play on the term for prisoners except these cellmates are locked in their own little worlds. (see what I did?)

Scandroid fans: "Fandroids"
Circle of Dust fans: "Dusties"


Blue Stahli: "Blue Stahlians" (made up)
Currently there is no name for the Blue Sahli fandom and I wanted to choose one that did not involve devils or the other crazy shenanigans that only FiXT fans appreciate.

Percy Jackson: "Halfbloods"
Refers to the half god half human main characters in the series. Who wouldn't want to go to a mythical Greek summer camp?

Eliot Chang (comedian): "Changsters"

Boyinaband: "Homeslices"
This term was mentioned in his YouTube videos; seems legit.

My Little Pony: "Bronies"
A combination of "bro" and "pony" however there are plenty of female Bronies out there.


Hunger Games: "Tributes"
As proud as they are of their fandom name, not many of them would actually "volunteer as tribute" when it comes down to it.

Dragon Ball Z: "Sayians"

Stranger Things: "Stranger ones"

Once upon a Time: "Oncers"

Michael Vey: "Electrofans"
A play on the Electroclan that composes of the main characters with electricity related powers.

Divergent: "Initiates"
Term used for the characters when they take tests and choose what faction they will belong to.

Voicians: Voicians
No explanation needed.

Adrian Von Ziegler: Wolf pack members
Mentioned in YouTube comments.


The Luna Sequence: "Luna Sequencers" (made up)
Sequencers sounded cool and I could not think of anything else.

The Enigma TNG: "Monster Killers" (made up)

At 100,00 + YouTube subscribers, I was stunned that there was no official fandom name. At first, there were some ideas in mind such as TNGArmy and N.G.E. for Next Generation Enigmas, but many people would not know what it means. Enigmas or Enigmatics would not work, as there is another band called Enigma. TNGs is too simple. So what is the first thing that comes up when you search this artist? His YouTube song Monster Killer, of course.

"Monster Killers: battling the monstrosities of prejudice, worldly lies, and country music, one beat at a time!"



Halusatwin: "HaluNatics"
This term was shown on his website and his fan club on there. Quite fitting for HalusaWin...I mean HalusaTwin. https://halusatwin.bandcamp.com/

Dreamstatelogic: "Dream Logicians" (made up)  http://dreamstatelogic.com/


Miraculous Ladybug: "Miraculers"
A play on the Miraculous and the objects that give the heroes their powers.

W.I.T.C.H: "Guardians"
The main characters are called Guardians in their magical forms and let's face it, this underrated fandom needs a memorable name.
