Nicknames are interesting. I prefer Saints to Buddies, but then I appreciate others don't, particularly as Scotland has another Saints (AKA the Fakes). There's also Southampton, of course. There's also the Welsh club, The New Saints. Any other Saints? There must be some in South America, I'd have thought.
