Animal nicknames
I quite like the possibility of an animal as nickname. Can you think of more?

Nicknames are often unplanned and had little to do with your real name.In the US TV show The Office, Angela is called 'Monkey' by Dwight. My mother often calls people lamb or bunny out of affection, and I know a couple of little boys called Teddy or Bear when their names are unrelated. When they're no longer toddlers they can go back to their full names.I read a book on by Shirley Jackson where Mary Catherine was "Merry Cat" (I forget the spelling).Some of these are really dumb:Melissa "Bee" (for the meaning)
Anthony "Ant"
Bridget "Birdie"
Tabitha "Tabby"
Henrietta "Hen"
Tony "Tiger"
Berenice "Bunny"
June "June Bug"
Peregrine "Falcon"
Gulnar / Gulnara "Gull"
Wolfgang "Wolf"
Pandora "Panda"
Devora "Dove"
Delphine "Dolphin"
Keturah "Kitty"
Reuben or Ruby "Roo" (as in Kangaroo or any Jo name for a Joey)
Swanhilda "Swan"Literally any name beginning with a letter J for Jay.

Wb Ferox- Fox?NNs are fun and one of the best thing about them is if a person doesn't like them later they could always reinvent themselves into their legal name or a different NN altogether. So to answer your question yes I think it's harmless and a little cute.
