Sibling nicknames? - Page 2

post #21 of 28
My name is Shawna Marie and my mom always called me Shawna Maddy. I have no idea why, my dad chose my middle name, Marie, so maybe my mom had wanted something different. My dad always called me Buggerlugs. I have no idea why! It was said affectionately anyways. My sister was Sheri Leelee. Her real name is Sheri Lee but when she was a baby my parents lived next door to a family with the last name Lee and they always joked if Sheri married their son then she would be Sheri Lee Lee. My dad always called her Baby girl (I think I got the short end of the stick there!).

My kids have all sorts of nicknames but mostly from us. From each other.. hmmm.. well when Olivia was born Elijah wasn't even 2 and he couldn't say Olivia so he called her Lee-va for the longest time. Now he calls her Liv. Elijah and Olivia both call Eliana, Ellie Bellie or Ella Bella. Oh and also Eliana Bana Boo. Olivia calls Elijah Lij (pronounced like the Lij in Elijah).

My DD is 'Bugga' (short for bugaboo). My DS Tom is 'bomber' (elaboration of a rhyme with his name, though he used to be chubbabubba). My DS Dylan is 'Deeker' which is a shortened for his baby nickname of 'Shrieky-deekie'. ;> Sometimes he's called Boowin too, because Fiona used to call him 'Doowin' before she could pronounce 'Dylan', and everyone needs to have a "B" nickname.

Ds calls dd Princess Drool, B, Beanie, Beans, Beaner, Sweetsie-girl, Destructo-baby, among other things. We're big nickname people, I don't know why though

We call everyone baby here too, dh, me and the kids. You just have to know what tone is used for your "baby".

I totally forgot! My oldest dd called one of her sister's Charlie for the longest time. I thought it was because we had watched Charlie's Angels, but then she said, "No, it's because she looks like Charles Lindbergh's baby!" : Okay.

My youngest son calls my oldest son "Deedee". When he about 12 months old, he called him "Buh" because the name starts with a B. But, shortly afterwards, he started calling him, "Deedee". All I could think of was that my oldest was very doting with him and it was like a big guy name of endearment: Daddy and Deedee. He can say ds1's name now, but he still calls him Deedee. I am going to be sad when he stops using that nickname because it's so sweet.

We have called our 11 yo Ds "Bear or Boo-kie" since birth and our other Ds and Dd call him that daily also. Well we all do-I am not sure if he even knows his name is Erik

Alex is Nnamed "Bubba"....

Abby is "Sissa"
