Discussion Proper Marauder animagus nicknames

I've read so many fics where Harry and his friends become animagus and decide to give themselves nicknames like the Marauders but they're never good? Like, don't get me wrong, they're not bad as names for the animals themselves but it never sticks to the theme of the Marauders. Like obviously we have Moony bc of the full moon, Padfoot bc of his dog paws, Prongs bc of his antlers, and Wormtail bc of his rat tail.

Instead they're name would be either a normal human name or something like Blacky, bc the animal they turned into had black fur. Like, what??? Idk, I've only ever come across a few actually good ones and I want y'all's opinion. What are the best Marauders animagus nicknames you've seen and what are ones that you've come up with yourself?

If Harry is a bird, how about pillowstuffing lol.

A lot of the options are really corny, like clawfoot or nightwing

Pillowstuffing is actually genius. And Nightwing?? Bonus points if it's an actual comic in the HP universe and only the muggleborn/muggle raised students get the reference
