Wait, I got it!  Make a bunch of cloth, dye it black, and make cloaks out of it.  Whoever starts hoarding black cloaks is obviously a vampire!

Urist McRedCloak?

I think the nickname thing should be considered an exploit. Much like the quantum stockpile nobody should be faulted for using it but the "proper" way to catch a vampire should be salem style trial by water or paranoid garrisoning of dogs in everyones room.

Wait, it's been confirmed that dogs will attack a feeding vampire?  Someone mentioned in another thread that this didn't work.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of my dwarves is named Atir. He claims to be the cousin of Bomrek... while Bomrek considers Atir a passing acquaintance and nothing more.

 I suspected vampires or other shenanigans ... but after looking into legends I see that Bomreks uncle (Erush) married Bomreks cousin (Vabok) and Atir is indeed Bomreks cousin. Bomrek just ... doesn't acknowledge it. Possibly he had objections about the marriage? but how can...

 Vabok was born in 61. Erush in 58.
 Vaboks grandmother "Doren" was the sister of "Dastot"
 Dastot was Erushs' father. Meaning that someone married his son off to his cousin... and Bomrek is just being anal about it.

Conclusion: No vampires were involved here. Oddities in the relationship screen may be perfectly natural.

They won't? Oh, then police state. Garrison soldiers in everyone's room.

ive had a dwarf arrive coverd in over 40 peices of bone jewelry and with 48 none-sentient kills to his name.
So a dwarfs bling factor and his kills dosent necessarily mean their a vampire.

Such a bling factor usually means they killed alot of animals, not sentients. I had a hunter with 200+ kills, nearly all of them giant animals or animal men.

From my personal experiences, I have confirmed two interesting things.

1. A vampire dwarf can enter moods and make artifacts.
2. It is possible for one of your dwarves to accuse a non dwarf of murder. One of my dwarves accused a buck rabbit.

He himself may be a vampire then.

Or he absolutely detests buck rabbits.
 or the buck rabbit is a vampire?

OR

He IS a vampire, he absolutly detests buck rabbits, and the the rabbit is vampire!

Is it entirely confirmed that all blood draining is instantaneous? I once found one of my garrisoned soldiers standing around in my dining hall, and he was faint or pale, can't recall which. Not a scratch on him otherwise.

You'd think the vampiric dwarf would just drain a little, not kill him.
But then, iot is a dwarf vampire, and logic doesn't seem to be very high on thier priorities...
