Sibling nicknames?

[~member~]

I have no idea why or where, but our youngest has taken to calling her sister, "Sami-Ami".

I remember when I was little, I used to call my sister, "Monie".

Any cute nicknames in your family?

We never had nicknames growing up, however my sister decided we needed them as adults. We now call each other Sisty (based on sisty ugler), and we call our brothers by nicknames based on their names.

My son calls his siter sweetie, honey or stink-butt, but he has heard me call her those things.

I started calling my baby sister "Fudgie" 20 years ago, and it stuck! Now she's a 24 year old Fudgie.

Taro (10) calls his 2 year old bro "Demon." I wonder if that will stick.

DD1 calls her little sister "Bam Bam", or sometimes just "Bam".

Dh is one of five kids. The oldest is Therese. I guess at one point one of the younger kids couldn't say Therese right so called her Tree. My dd calls her Aunt Tree because she has a hard time prouncouncing Therese as well. It's so cute to hear from her little mouth, lol.

DD is Anna Kate, and DS calls her Rhino Kate for some reason!

We all call DS "Bubby" (since he was born), and Anna does too.

Yes, and it drives me crazy. My foster daughter has a name that no one in our family cares for, but it is the name her mom gave her so I think it is important to use. My 3 year old calls her ta-ta or cece. It is an improvement over kaka, but still. Poor kid has a cruddy name and a cruddy nickname. But a great personality and as cute as can be.

Mine and my dads name are very similar with one letter being different so when I was little everyone just called me Lizzy. no clue why, nothing close to my real name but thats what they chose. I was very confused in Kindergarten. I would say it faded when I was 16 or so and boys would call and instead of yelling my name they screamed, "Lizzy or Lindsey"

Growing up everyone called my sister "creeps" or "creepy" and sometimes still do, because she was a really late walker. She crept everywhere.

My younger brother was called, and still sometimes is, grumps. Cause, well, he was really grumpy in the mornings.

I was mouse because I was a tiny babe and child. Now everyone calls me by a variation of my name - that started around my teen years. Oh, and my dad has always referred to me as "daughter number one".

My other brother was always "number 1" to my dad - Star Trek reference.

Another brother has always been critter or critterpher.

Everyone's always loved their nick names and none have ever caused any problems. Well, except for the odd day we'd be fighting and come up with really mean nick names.

I should add, we call DS Matthew "Monkey" and DD Eden "Boo"

My MIL and her sisters asked their mom when their baby sister was born if they could call her Cookie. The mom said yes just figuring it was child funniness. The thing is 50+ years later the baby's name is still Cookie.


Our old was 2 years 5 months when her sister was born and she couldn't say Amelia so she called her Mia. #2 dd doesnt like to be called Mia by anybody but her immediate family so we must be sure to introduce her as Amelia. We even had to tell the grandparents address everything as Amelia.

#3 dd for a very short time period couldnt say Lydia so she called her LouLou. Well dh and I like that nick name for some reason and have taken to calling her that at times.

My husband's g'pa had 5 sisters and NOBODY remembers/knows their real names! There's Toots, Honey, Goldie, Jet, and Tommy.

My ds couldn't pronounce his older sister's name 'Olivia". it always came out "O-ya-ya" later "Gee-ya"..shortented to "Gee" (hard G sound) We still say "gee" once in a while.

Dylan is "Dilly" or "Dilly Bob." Jacob is "Jakey Cupcakey" or "The Jakester." Sydney is "Worm." (Don't know how that happened. She's perfectly happy with it.) Elizabeth is "Buggy Bug." My husband calls me "Liver." (He finds "Sweetheart" too sappy, so he chose another vital organ. So romantic!)

My littlest sister is "Lovie" and my mom's sister is "Boo".

Everyone in my family (immediate and other wise) has nicknames. Some people have more than one or two. We use them for the kids on a daily basis.

My oldest, for completely unknown reasons, calls the baby "Annie-pants." My grandmother called my mother "Treesy" (her name is Theresa) and my cousin picked it up and used to call her "Treatsy."

When my brother was born I started calling him buddy. That was after I got over the jealousy of a new baby ! We all still call him buddy or bud and hardly ever refer to him using his real name.

i don't know if it's a regional thing, but it seem's like a lot of people around here called their older sisters "sissie" when they were little. it's kinda cute, but i don't know if i would encourage dd's future younger siblings to call her that, i'm ambivalent.

i used to call my brother nick "nicky boy", but everyone called him that i think. and for a short while i called my little sister "chicken" when we were both in our teens for some weird reason.

[numom499]

my husband called his sister whose name is dawn, double shay or just shay...have no idea where that came from...
