Can you guess the real names of TV characters who went by nicknames?

You got this one, Little Buddy!

 
Keeping up with TV characters can be tough enough, but it's double hard when shows start doling out nicknames for our favorite characters.

Do you think you know classic TV characters by every name they've ever been called?

Then this quiz is for you, Little Buddy! Everybody knows Fonzie is short for Arthur Fonzarelli, but channel your inner cool to see if you can figure out the correct name for characters who go by some of TV's most distinct nicknames. 

Want a hint? All the incorrect answers are all names of other characters you know from movies and TV. Good luck!

13/13 Fairly easy. Had to guess on #8 as I never watched The Facts of Life.

12/13 because I didn't read the question, just the name "coach"... picked the wrong coach

You've got a knack for nicknames, like a true TV pal!

Hate facts and Leave it to Skeever. The two I missed that I never watch. Hate shaved by the Smell but I guessed it right.

The only ones I missed were Gilligan's Island, Bonanza, and Saved by the Bell. Almost never watched GI, and never watched the last two.
