Eccentric nickname names like Buffy, Saffy, Bunty, Tiggy, etc.

Girl or boy, the sort you’d find in Jeeves and Wooster. Hit me!

Don’t worry, these are not for a human baby

Bunny, Kitten, Biffy, Muffy, Topsy, Binky...

Bugs, Miffy, Jinty, Frog

Bunny
Bunty
Tippy
Tuffy
Nobby

Tuppy, Biffy, Bonzo, Bicky, Corky, Sippy, Boko, Flick, Oofy, Dolly.

All from P G Wodehouse. (I'm assuming Stiffy and Nobby are probably too, erm, dated.)

P G Wodehouse's own nickname was Plum (I think!) please correct me if wrong!

I remember Bunch from an Agatha Christie novel. I think maybe because when she was little she had bunches that stuck out? I don’t know.
