Daddy says she's gonna forget her own name....

[MakeupIsArt]

So I call Fuz alot of different names including;
1)Snuggle-bug
2)Bug
3)Bug munchkin
4)Bug muffin
5)Muffin
6)Baby
7)Babe
8)Boo-Boo
9)Fuz bug
10)Fuzzyboo
11)Poo-Poo
12)Pooh
13)Love bug
14)Love munchkin
There's more, but I can't remember them.....

Is this bad? Should I only call her as Fuz?

I think sticking with one name will help avoid confusion for your pet. For instance, I have several outdoor cats. I swear they all think their name is "Kitty". They do have individual names, but if you call here kitty kitty kitty they all come running. One of the cats is actually named Kitty.

I generally stick to 2-3 nicknames for my cats, all that have part of their real name in them. Like my cat Smog, we call him smog, mo, moggles, and mogey, and he responds to them, but if I look at him and call him Kovu he ignores me.
I say stick with calling her nicknames that part of her real name in them, as well as her name...50/50!!

Wow, that's a lot of nicknames

I have around three or four nicknames for my dog, but they all sound the same (like Em, Emmy, Emmers, M&M )

I think that sticking to three at max. will be a lot less confusing for your pet. It kind of depends though, if you have a cat I wouldn't say it matters as much as a dog, as cats kind of roam as they please, whereas dogs need to be called by their names in order to get them to do something or walk towards you or whatever else, so it's probably not as best to have a million names that you call your dog when you're asking him do something. Stick to one name when you're commanding them to do something, I'd say.

I don't think it makes a difference.
All of my cats think their name is 'Psswssswsswsssswsssswsss'

[Thurineth]

I think stick to one or two. I have a dog called Mac, we call him Maccy-boy, Mac or "Oi! Jimmy no mates/Jimmy" :P

My friend, she calls her dog Bella (shes obsessed with Twilight), I always thought her dog's name was Bella, until she told me the real name is Ollie, but apparently her dog responds to both names.

[BeautyKills :O]

I think you should try calling her by one name... Once she gets used to her name, maybe by then, call her whatever you like My pet's name is Pipay (don't ask why, my sister named her. I don't get the name's meaning ) and she's used to her original name but I call her Poopaii more often and she responds to it very well.

whoa that are tons of names lol
i call my dog lots of different names too, but when i actually give her comandos i call her by her "real" name just as not to confuse her.
maybe you should shorten your list a bit, especially when youre calling her.

I think as long as you know that your dog knows its actual name, then nicknames are fine. My dog, Chico, responds to his name, but I also have a TON of nicknames for him. He doesn't seem to mind!

[hellolove]

i have quite a few animals and many of them have gone through at least a few nicknames. their nicknames usually don't even have anything to do withtheir real names. but they seem to catch on to all of the nicknames. my list (original name- nickname(s)):
jasmine-tubby
garfield-stinky, stinker, mister happy
bandit-pudgy, mister pudgums, booger, booger head, booger brain
roxy-fat girl, obesity
tyson- mister fuzzy butt
kali-cow, moose
