Grey's Anatomy is full of fun, adventure, drama, comedy, romance and suspense. There's a perfect balance of everything and that's probably why the show is now running in to its fifteenth season! That is an amazing achievement for any series and we, as fans, are so grateful!
What's even better is that we can actually tell the whole story by using just the nicknames, instead of actual names, and a fellow fan would be able to understand and relate very quickly. A real fan also knows that there is no need to mix up McDreamy and McSteamy. This is a mistake that an ameteur would make - but not an avid fan! Just to clarify, McDreamy is the nickname given to Derek Shepherd. And McSteamy was the nickname which was given to Mark Sloan.
One thing Grey's Anatomy has taught us is that everyone deserves to have 'a person'. A someone who gets everything, with no words being spoken. Someone to call and help hide a body after dragging it across the living room floor (at least that's what Meredith once said). Imagine for a moment that one of these amazing doctors could actually be your person... Who would it be?
McDreamy
McDreamy was one of the leading doctors in Grey's Anatomy. He was the guy Meredith fell in love with, right from the very beginning. We knew she loved him from the moment he met her as the "girl in the bar". Their relationship was rocky and had a slow start, but in the end true love prevailed.
The Wicked Witch
Erica Hahn was a cardiaothoracic surgeon who starred in the first few seasons. She was not a big fan of Preston Burke or Christina Yang. But she was a fan of Callie. They had a short romantic relationshipbut soon moved on to other ventures. Erica was known as the Wicked Witch.
Dying heart guy
Denny was a patient of Izzie's. From the very first interaction he flirted with the young intern. Who can blame him, she's gorgeous! Their relationship didn't last long but Denny left a huge sum of money for Izzie. She put it to good use by opening up a free clinic.
Swap monkey
Shane Ross was the intern known as the Swap Monkey. He would often go to extremes to swap a surgery with someone else so that he could get the better surgery. This landed him in some hot water a few times. Eventually he found his feet and left on a jet plane to Zurich with Yang on his arm.
Petunia
Leah Murphy was given this nickname. Leah made some folks very upset with her tricks and she was off our screens before we knew it. Then, out of nowhere she reappeared. Although her come back was short lived, she seemed to fit in a little bit better than the first time, or did she?
Mousy
Heather was an intern that started with Shane and a few other people. She was literally a mousy person. She would have made such a great neurosurgeon but sadly she passed away. She was a victim to one of Swap Monkey's tricks and ended up getting hurt. Sadly, Derek was unable to save her.
Dirty mistresses
There was more than one dirty mistress, as this title suggests. That's right, Mark Sloan and Meredith Grey were labelled as the dirty mistresses because of their in appropriate romantic relationships with married people. Ironically, these people were Derek and Addison, who were married to each other...
Syph boy
George was such a sweet guy, and someone that anyone could count on. He had an amazing character and was easy to like. George was also married once, to Ortho God, Callie Torres. He was also madly and deeply in love with Izzie. George was the kind of guy that would stand in front of a bus for a stranger, which he did.
Mrs McDreamy
Addison was nicknamed Mrs McDreamy. This is clearly because she was married to Mr McDreamy. Addison also cheated on Derek with his best friend, Mark Sloan. Mrs McDreamy was soon to be divorced after that stint, luckily for Meredith and the viewers of Grey's Anatomy.
Twisted sisters
These two ladies could have been separated at birth. They do have tons in common, and hence their nickname, twisted sisters. Meredith and Christina developed a very special bond, this didn't take long. And soon after this, Christina actually told Meredith that she was her person.
Three
Lexie has a few different nicknames. Initially Yang named her 'Three' since she wasn't interested in learning who the new interns were. Lexie was also known as Little Grey - after all, she was Meredith's younger sister. She was also known as Lexipedia because of her outstanding photographic memory.
Bethany Whisper
This young lady, Izzie, had a past she didn't really want the world to know about. She actually modelled her way through her studies. Her pictures were published under the name 'Bethany Whisper'. Alex also enjoyed taking her to task about it and did his best to make her life hell - of course, it all backfired on him.
The annoying twins
If Cristina and Meredith were named The Twisted Sisters, then it goes without saying that they'd also be considered as The Annoying Twins. Just another nickname that these two ladies earned and embraced as they went about their daily lives. Meredith and Yang were really like two peas in a pod.
Dr Hotty
When we first met Alex Karev he came across as an arrogant annoying hot-shot. Thankfully, Alex aged like a good wine and not like a bottle of milk. He matured and turned out to be a pretty decent guy, but it took awhile for him to reach that point. Alex was nicknamed Dr Hotty - it's pretty obvious why!
Mer-Der
Meredith and Derek were the power couple that every couple wanted to be. They were not only cute together, but they also worked well together. Yes, they had some bumps in the road, but we know that everything was resolved and worked out for the best eventually. They also earned the nickname Mer-Der.
Dr Fancy Pants
Dr Fancy Pants is also known as Jackson Avery. Jackson comes from a very wealthy background and he has a huge burden to carry when it comes to the Avery reputation. Nevertheless, Dr Fancy Pants has been easy to grow fond of over the last few seasons. Perhaps it's those eyes that have us hooked.
Ugly Duckling
April Kepner is the lady shown in the picture. A young, innocent farm girl who was also given a nickname by her sisters that she didn't really appreciate. She eventually decides that she's actually a swan, so maybe it wasn't so bad afterall.
Big Kahuna
The Big Kahuna is actually Richard Webber. He is the chief of surgery and is well respected in his role. Richard also has his own battles to fight, and falls in love more than once throughout the seasons. Richard is also replaced a few times as chief, but his colleagues still consider him as chief anyway.
GI Joe
GI Joe is the red haired doctor who used to do work in Iraq. He came in with a patient that need a trachy to breath, so he used a pen because it's all they had at the time. He also helped save Cristina Yang after she fell and got stabbed by an icicle. It must have been love at first sight for them.
The Junkie
Poor Amelia Sheppard was nicknamed the Junkie after her history with excessive drug use. OK, so she often used that name to refer to herself but that didn't make it fair either. Amelia is also a neurosurgeon, just like her brother, Derek. Amelia also ends up marrying GI Joe, although things don't go as planned.
Ovarian sister
Cristina Yang was dubbed Ovarian Sister. This probably had a lot to do with the ectopic pregnancy that she had when she was still dating Preston Burke. She lost an ovary when this happened, not that she really seemed to mind all that much. Yang could bounce back from just about anything life threw at her.
Cardio God
Here we have none other than the Cardio God himself, Preston Burke. Preston was very good at what he did, although not always the easiest man to get along with. He was one to challenge and push the boundaries where needed. He was also the one who coached George while he was stuck doing open heart surgery in the elevator.
Sugar
Ellis Grey was Meredith Grey's mother. Ellis won the Harper Avery Award more than once as well. She was a woman who took no nonsense and she made sure that she was always at the forefront of medical advancements. Ellis also had a fling with Richard, who was married at the time. But that is another story for another day.
Satan
Addison has the perfect red hair to go with this nickname. She wasn't anyone's favorite doctor or person when she first joined the scene. That might have had a lot to do with the fact that she showed up out of the blue and ruined the romance Derek and Meredith were enjoying. OK, in all fairness Derek was still married at the time...
Phoenix
Arizona was nicknamed Phoenix. Not because she rose from the ashes but rather because of her first name. She was named after a ship in the war but folks often assumed that it was to do with the town, Phoenix. Arizona is an amazing doctor who knows just how to make the little children feel better.
Ortho chick
The Ortho Chick is none other than Callie Torres. When we first met Callie, she thought that she was straight. So much so that she even fell in love with George and they got hitched in Vegas... Later she discovered that she actually enjoy the ladies too... This realization caused some upset with her family but they eventually accepted it.
Evil spawn
Dr Hotty also earned himself the nickname of Evil Spawn. This was due to his arrogant and bad attitude which we got to know in the first season. Ironically, Evil Spawn also hooked up with Satan for a short romance. This nickname has seemed to have disappeared over the last few seasons, probably since Alex has grown up.
Medusa
Meredith was dubbed Medusa at some stage. This was based on the legacy she'd made over the years. Pretty much the same as Bailey's very first nickname. For sometime Meredith wasn't even aware that the interns had given her this name but we don't think it was an accurate description of who she is.
Patient X
We know that Izzie had a few nicknames like Bethany Whisper, Cricket and Dr Model. But she also named herself patient X when she was unsure of why she was feeling ill and had the interns try to figure out the case. She didn't want everyone to know that it was for herself, so hence she used a nickname.
McSteamy
Ah! Mark McSteamy Sloan! This guy had many women falling at his feet. This was because of his charm and dashing good looks. Of course, Mark got himself in to tons of trouble because of his actions. He did also father a child with Callie Torres. Mark was injured in the plane crash which happened and sadly passed away eventually.
007
This nickname was give to George right in the very first episode of the very first season. George was selected by Burke to do an appendectomy. He messed up in the OR and almost lost a patient. This is where he earned the nickname 007. In essence, it means licence to well, you know...
Little Grey
Little Grey was Lexie Grey. As we mentioned she is, or was, Meredith's little sister. They only shared the same father though, not the same mother. Lexie was a super sweet and innocent young lady who quickly stole the hearts of her peers and viewers. It's no wonder time stood still when she died in the plane crash.
Scrooge McDuck
Jo Wilson was nicknamed Scrooge McDuck. This young lady didn't really deserve the name since she had a pretty rough start in life and was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Jo was actually also on the run from her husband and had changed her name and town to save herself.
Grumpy
Stephanie Edwards was an intern who started with Jo and Shane. She Also fell head over heels for Dr Jackson Avery and they dated for a short while. Steph was named Grumpy, although after a few seasons she turned out to not be so grumpy after all. She also left the series though, recently actually.
BCB
Miranda has had a lot of nicknames. This one came up when she was dating Ben. It was one that she didn't really appreciate or enjoy, and made her re-evaluate her choices. Of course, it didn't stick forever, even though they made it as a couple. Still, if you know what it stands for, it's pretty surprising.
