For instance.
Auburn.
Tigers. Granted this is it's given team name; however one may argue 'War Eagle' (battle cry) may be just as popular.
Any other colleges, universities, pro sports teams out there that may be recognized by the masses by multiple names?

I've heard St. John's referred to as the Johnnies a lot. Quite popular in the days before Lou Carnasseca. Closer to a 2nd nickname than "Dookies" is today for Duke.
Hard to define when a catchy nickname becomes a 2nd nickname. I wouldn't call "The Silver and Black" a 2nd nickname for the Raiders. But you would know who someone was talking about. "America's Team", "The Pale Hose", "Noles". None of which are as well used as Bronx Bombers

Again - I feel as if I'm walking a loose line here and a 'cute nickname' may be being replaced for the actual name as opposed to a team commonly referred to as a term just like it's intentional name
hmmmm.
Marlins - Fish? Same goes for the Dolphins....
Hmmmmm....

The Mets were ( and are ) officially named the "Mets" but some people still mistakenly call them the Metropolitans.
