There's often a crunchy kind of noise for morphing into game face. I figure when you change the shape of bone that fast, it creaks. Like wood.
Spike's first name was never in doubt, but he was given a plethora of last names, especially by those authors who wanted to make him the debauched younger son of an earl whom Angelus turned straight out of night-long bender at the Naughty Hellfire Club (which was another pre-FFL favorite) or the stuffy, virginal younger son of an earl (post-FFL.) Even now that there's semi-official surname, many people cling to calling him William Arbuthnot Chauncey Smythee-Mangrove, because Pratt's not posh enough for 'em.
The BtVS writers were obssessed with variations on William. Not only do we have Liam and William the Bloody, there's Willie the Snitch, Willow was occasionally called Will, misogynist Billy, and Billy Fordham. Who was even a vampire, albeit briefly.
What I call characters depends on what POV I'm in. Connor would think of his father as Dad. Angel would think of Connor's Dad as Mr. Reilly.
My LJ name is the name of an Elfquest OC I used to write, and so not me. While I occasionally see people refer to me as Rahirah, everyone who knows me calls me Barb.
