We learn new things about celebrities every day.
For instance, did you know the big height difference between these couples? Or that many celebs have crushes on their peers?
We've also learned that a lot of celebs use stage names. Speaking of names, some go by nicknames we didn't know about...
Here are 10+ of these adorable (and some weird) nicknames!
First off, her name isn't actually Miley. It's Destiny Hope Cyrus, and the story behind her nickname is actually so cute!
Since she was always so smiley as a kid, her family called her "Smiley Miley." Eventually, Miley stuck.
Growing up in Oklahoma, the sounds of the outdoors was music to a young Blake’s ears.
He spent day and night catching bugs and bringing toads home, earning him the nickname “Toad” from his family.
Since the Bourne Identity star is just as alert off-screen, as he is on screen, his wife, Luciana, gave him the nickname, “Red Alert."
He's gotten even more intense since becoming a father, telling People, “I sometimes check to see if the kids are breathing."
The beautiful actress used to have the nickname “Mithoo” as a kid since she would mimic others and was always talking.
But after being bullied for the nickname at school, Chopra started going by “Mimi” instead.
The Tony award-winning actress may have been quite the lively chatterbox Rachel Berry in Glee, but she's different in real life.
Since she's very subdued and likes to be at home with her cat, she told V magazine that her friends call her "Grandma."
The actor revealed his nickname while talking with GQ.
He said that his nickname growing up around the age of 16 was “Weasel” at the time. 'Cause I was a little [expletive].” Charlize Theron might concur...
If you ever wondered whether the Queen has a softer side, this story should do the trick.
She used to let a young Prince William call her “Gary” since he couldn't pronounce “granny." How sweet is that?!
Thorne earned the nickname “Pickle” from Drew Barrymore when they worked on Blended together.
We're not sure why she has the nickname, but based on this video where Drew says "I love my pickle," it obviously stems from their closeness.
Since Jennifer Aniston and Lisa go all the way back to their Friends days, it makes perfect sense that they have tons of nicknames for one another.
Most recently, Anison called Kudrow “Floosh” on her birthday post saying, “Happy Birthday my sweetest Floosh."
The insanely likable actor earned himself the nickname “The Wall” back from his old hockey days where he played goaltender for De La Salle College.
This was a huge compliment that meant he would never let a puck go by him like a wall.
The Hunger Games actress has always been open about her social anxiety.
While speaking to Madame Figaro magazine, she revealed that this anxiety earned her the nickname “Nitro," short for nitroglycerin. It meant that she was “hyperactive and curious about everything."
Olivia Colman threw us for a loop when she revealed that her real name is actually Sarah Sinclair.
But to make things even more confusing, her friends and family call her "Colly." Anyone else confused?
By looking at the buff actor, it's unlikely that "sticks" would come to mind.
But since he had skinny legs growing up, he got the nickname from his friends. He's not even afraid to joke about it, either!
Now this is the kind of nickname we'd be trying to break away from!
He got it while studying English literature at Princeton University. Thankfully, it wasn't because of his smell; it was because his sarcastic attitude towards his friends.
The meaning behind the rapper's nickname is actually really sweet.
He shared with MTV that his grandmother would call him “Lil tuna" while growing up. Eventually, the “chi” was added from ‘Gucci" and then he came up with ''Tunechi."
As if Keith and wife Nicole Kidman couldn't be cute enough, we discover that Nicole calls him this.
She explained to WSJ magazine that the term is Australian slang (where the actress is from) meaning “musician."
Time for Keith's nickname for Nicole!
He has taken on his in-law’s tradition of calling Kidman “Hokulani." This is a Hawaiian nickname, meaning "heavenly star." Her parents gave it to her when she was born.
It's Nick's wife, Priyanka, who likes to call her hubby this since he has an “old soul” and is “extremely smart,” according to her speech at the Women in World Summit.
We'll stick to calling him "daddy," thnx.
The actress has a lot in common with Dory from Finding Nemo.
She explained to Express that her best friends call her “Goldfish” because of her short attention span. We wonder what husband Ashton calls her.
