Bavarians produce a variety of [[nicknames]] for those who bear traditional Bavarian or German names like Josef, Theresa or Georg (becoming ''Sepp'l'' or more commonly ''Sepp'', ''Resi'' and ''Schorsch'', respectively). Bavarians often refer to names with the family name coming first (like ''da Stoiber Ede'' instead of [[Edmund Stoiber]]). The use of the article is considered mandatory when using this linguistic variation. In addition, nicknames different from the family name exist for almost all families, especially in small villages. They consist largely of their profession, names or professions of deceased inhabitants of their homes or the site where their homes are located. This nickname is called ''Hausname'' (en: name of the house) and is seldom used to name the person, but more to state where they come from or live or to whom they are related. Examples of this are:
* Mohler (e.g. ''Maler'' – painter)
* Bachbauer (farmer who lives near a brook/creek)
* Moosrees (Theresa (Rees/Resi) who lives near a moss)
* Schreiner (joiner/carpenter)
