Answer:

Yes, one of his nicknames was "The Grandfather of Modern Computing," according to the article on this website.

Answer:

According to one internet blogger, Charles Babbage was called "Mr. Computer" by his peers. Both this nickname, and the one listed above, are clearly recent confabulations and are unsupported by historical accounts of Babbage's life.

Although there is no indication that Babbage himself had a nickname, people skeptical of his invention, the Difference Engine, dubbed it "Babbage's Folly."
