Names you had for Mario characters/enemies before you knew their actual names

I used to call Toads mushroom heads, but other than that no, I always knew everyone names.
 
Enemy = Goomba
Turtle = Koopa Troopa
Spikes = Spiny
Bullet = Bullet Bill
Dead Turtle = Dry Bones
Cloud = Lakitu
Lakita = Lakitu Bros. (misread the name)
Browser = Bowser (I used to call him Browser since SM64 until MKDS)
Hammer Throwing Soldiers = Hammer Bro.
Plant with teeth= Piranha Plant
Dog = Chain Chomp
Fish = Cheep Cheep
Squid = Blooper
Shiny Turtle Shell = Buzzy Beetle
Flying Turtle = Paratroopa

I thought Kamek was female at first.
The dress and the “Witchy” voice doesn't help anyone who sees Kamek or any Magi-koopa for the first time, I realized in Mario Party ds that Kamek was a he.

Peach: the princess
 
cataquacks were "oh lord it's these things again stop blowing up my giant watermelon you jerks aaaaaaaaahh"

I realised he was male in Yoshi's Island DS, when Kamek was called "he".

Oh yes! Cataquacks!
My brother and I called the blue ones "quaker-jackers" and the red ones "quacker-snappers".
Also, we thought the name "Gooper Blooper" applied to all Bloopers, and not just the big boss of Ricco Harbor. Oops.
The Toad species were all called "mushroom-heads", because we just figured that Toad was only named Toad, and not his species. Same with Yoshis, which we called "cute, big-nosed dinos".
