What's In a Name?

Jack took Lucy from my arms to carry her downstairs.
"Come on Pooters. Papa Smudge's got ya."
What?
I laughed.  Really hard.  Later, after I had time to think about it.
Sometimes I wonder if these kids, especially Jack, ever call each other by their real names.
Here's a list of the current ones:
Pooters (Lucy's nickname)
Pooterton
Stinkbert
Stinkpot
Stinkbug
Smudge (saved for Lucy)
Papa Smudge (my personal favorite)
Pinkerton
Stinkerton
Parma
Parmasoochers
Council of Chalcedon (I know.)
There's a general theme going.  I guess "stink" and boys go together pretty well.
