The Little Corporal: this was at the beginning of his career, as a recognition from his own soldiers (which he would himself refer to as his "children" later on in life), affectionate term, as Bonaparte was a man who was not afraid to mix with his own men and involve himself more than 200%.

He also inherited from such bad names as "the ogre" (specially around the first half of 1810s when he was recruiting raw recruits in his ongoing effort of war.

The English called him Boney as well (surely more friendly), for example Betsy Balcombe (little girl) on St Helena
