Slinker

From Tolkien Gateway

Slinker was a name given to Gollum by Samwise Gamgee. He originally used Slinker to refer to Gollum's slinking around before they had captured him.[1] He then came to use Slinker and Stinker to refer to the two contrasting sides of Gollum's personality,[2] caused by possession of the One Ring for so long.[3] Slinker was the fawning, desperate to please, "Sméagol" side and Stinker was the plotting and sinister "Gollum" side of him.[2] When he first came into the service of Frodo Baggins his Slinker side was more prominent but the closer they got to the Black Gate the more the Stinker side started to take over and Slinker became more like Stinker.[4]
