My four year old daughter calls C3PO "The Golden Man", and Vader is called "The Big Meanie" (quite accurate really). Chewbacca is Chewmacca.
All the other characters she ignores except Yoda (she has a cuddly toy version of him). Mind you she has only ever managed to watch a few snippets of the OT.
I know there is footage of a young girl describing C3PO as "The Shiny guy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBM854BTGL0
Any other examples of alternate names for the characters?
My kid is just under 2, and he calls R2 "Beep Beep" and Vader "Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I know people who still call anyone who is a Force ghost a "blue glowy".

I used to call Darth Vader Dark Vader when I was a kid before I was corrected - by the movies or my school classmates, I'm not sure which.
I called Darth Vader Lord Vader, I didn't know that lord meant and thought it was his name. My mom corrected me and it took a little time to get used to Darth, LOL.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
My family members still call C-3PO "3-CPO"
It's an easy mistake I guess.
In Mexico is quite common for kids to call R2 "Arturito" which means Little Arthur.
I heard a kid call Boss Nass "Green Fatty"

" C-P30"
I used to call Yoda "Yoga" and Jabba "Java".
^ Ha Ha Ha! No way! So did I!
We have so much in common!
I always thought that "Greedo" should be "Grido" - pronounced the same but spelled differently in the subtitles. So that his greed would be more implicit than explicit.

^Naw, his name needs to be Gueedo.

Er, anyone who is anyone knows that it's Gringo.

Me too. I also called Darth Maul "Dark Mall."
