The Brady Bunch : Give all the Bradys nicknames
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Bobby: Jesse
Oliver: Jinx
Oliver: Jinx
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
I was thinking Oliver could have been called Lucky. It was more positive than Jinx.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Good call, as always!
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Oliver-Denver (as in John, his doppelganger)
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Bobby: Double S for Short Stuff
Marcia: Blondie
Jan: Vintage (Because she always whines! LOL)
Greg: Cool Dude or CD
Cindy: "The youngest one in curls." So, Curly.
Carol: 4V for Va-va-va voom!
Alice: Miss CR for Comic Relief
Mike: Mr. Caine since he is as wise as Caine in Kung Fu.
Damn, I'm good.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Peter was also he only Brady with brown eyes. They cast all the kids so they would "match" the parents. Since Robert Reed had dark hair and blue eyes, that was the template for the kids.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
My guess is they focused on hair color rather then eye color. They could easily say the bio mom had brown eyes.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Greg: Johnny (Bravo)
Marcia: Juliet or Miss Benedict Arnold or Mrs. Marcia Dennist or Debbie
Peter: The Hero, or Scoop Brady
Bobby: Jesse (James)
Cindy: The Tattletale or Shirley (Temple)

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
You forgot Jan.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
The first nickname to come to mind is Lefty for Peter. He was the only left handed Brady.
left handedness can happen with no parent being left handed. my father is left handed with no one in his family was left handed. my 20 month old niece appears to be left handed [or at least ambidextrous]. and one out of ten people are left handed. crazy: both Dawn Wells and Russel Johnson from Gilligan's island are/were left handed. so there it was 2 out of ten. i swear, there are more left handed parents at my school than right handed.
~~~~~~
marcia: vanishing freckles or one eppie braces.
Greg: mind the bike pump! [urban legend time!] or Johnny Bravo
Peter: doppelganger or Donnie Osmond. [actually those two nicknames are interchangable]
Jan: whiner or dropped y
Bobby: sunshine digger or mr hair dye.
Cindy: thickest pigtail braids or 12 year old shirley temple.
Carol: wesson. no or. just wesson.
Mike: cuter without the afro. unable to smell strawberries cooking.
Alice: hu, no la.
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more. Edmund Blackadder.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Greg was the Casanova of Clinton Avenue.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
I remember Alice calling him that. That needs to be shortened to Casanova or something else for everyday usage.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
They could use the Native American names given to them during one of the Grand Canyon episodes.
Barry Williams also mentions the Casanove of Clinton Avenue in his The Real Greg Brady song.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
In the episode "Cyrano de Brady", didn't Peter get Greg to feed him lines because Greg was known as the "Wolf of Westdale High"?
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
That reminds me of "Stocking Wolf" which was the Native American name given to Greg during a Grand Canyon episode.
They could just use those nicknames.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Do you remember all those names?
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Of course I do:
Mike - Big eagle of large nest
Carol - Yellow flower with many petals
Alice - Squaw in waiting
Greg - Stocking wolf
Marcia - Willow dancing in wind
Peter - Middle buffalo, sleeping lizard. I'll get back to you
Jan - Dove of morning light
Bobby- Little bear who lose his way
Cindy - Wandering blossom
Mike - Big eagle of large nest
Carol - Yellow flower with many petals
Alice - Squaw in waiting
Greg - Stocking wolf
Marcia - Willow dancing in wind
Peter - Middle buffalo, sleeping lizard. I'll get back to you
Jan - Dove of morning light
Bobby- Little bear who lose his way
Cindy - Wandering blossom
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
That would be "Stalking" wolf.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Mike: Foy for father of the year
Carol: Moy for mother of the year
Alice: Hoy for housekeeper of the year
Greg: Sporty because he played them
Marcia: DQ for drama queen
Peter:
Jan: Trixie for her joke episode and tomboy like
Bobby: Soapy for too much in the wasking machine
Cindy: Spunky because she seemed like it
Oliver: Squeaky because of his voice
I'll have to get back to Peter. He seemed slow (well naive & innocent I guess) on the uptake in a few episodes, all thumbs in some, and learned the value of honesty regarding the vase.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
I just thought of a nickname for Peter. He is Deuce because he has so many doubles. The well known ones were Arthur Owens and Phil Packer. And in the "Miss Popularity" episode there was a boy named Herman who looked just like Peter. He was played by actor Darryl Seamen.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Marcia - Triple M (for "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!")
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Let's expand this and give them middle names and ones befitting their nature and era.
Alice Ethel
Gregory Michael
Marcia Marie
Peter Charles
Jan Elizabeth
Robert David
Cynthia Laura
We don't know if "Alice" and/or "Jan" were shortened forms of another given name.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
All the Bradys had middle names. They are from Brady Bunch Wiki so I don't know how accurate they are. Please click on
http://bradybunch.wikia.com/wiki/The_Brady_Bunch_Wiki
Michael Paul
Caroline Ann
Gregory Stanford
Marcia Denise
Peterson Christian Edward
Jan Elizabeth
Robert Eric
Cynthia Sofia
I don't think Alice's middle name was ever mentioned.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Cynthia Sofia ?? That is a horrible combination of names.

Especially for a girl with a lisp.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Where are the middle names listed on that page? Who chose themand when? The onlt ones Sherwood Schwartz ever game middle names to during the series were Mike and Carol.
Peter only used Peter and Pete. I doubt he would have used "Peter" if his given name was Peterson, probably just "Pete".

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Each Brady has their own page on Brady Bunch wiki. That is where the middle names came from.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Then some fan probably just chose and added them. I prefer the ones I chose.
I like this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Brady_Bunch_characters
it's informative and accurate. It only lists middle names for Mike and Carol, as the show ever did.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Some of those names are tuly wacky. Stanford, Peterson? WTF? Only Mike and Carol's middle names were said on the show. I think some joker had too much time on his or her hands one day, and just added them for shyts and giggles.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
As I recall, Buddy Hinton already gave Peter and Cindy nicknames:
Chicken and Baby-Talk.
Chicken and Baby-Talk.
Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Buddy was a bully.

Re: Give all the Bradys nicknames
Greg should have been called Shades in the "Our Son, The Man" episode when he turned hippie and wore dark sunglasses indoors.
