At this point it's pretty much become standard for us to call skorne's Agonizer "The Frog".
I find it hard to imagine there's too much variation between groups, since these colloquial terms mostly develop on the forums (and WarmachineUniversity), so they're almost universally available to people and end up catching on very quickly.

Never heard it called that, I have heard it call tortured baby elephant. But I can see why it has that name.
