Portuguese term or phrase: Mudinho
Guys,

Estou legendando um vídeo onde há um garoto com o apelido de "Mudinho". Seria "Muty" adequado? Does that word even exist?

Thanks! :-)

Explanation:
Sugestão

Dependendo do nome real do personagem. Se não souber, pode inventar, tipo Silent Joe (existe um personagem famoso chamado Silent Bob).

Outra sugestão, dependendo da circunstância, seria fazer uma referência a algum personagem mudo. O Dunga (7 Anões), por exemplo, se chama Mudinho em PT (Dopey em inglês, que não é bem uma referência à mudez, né).
