Nicknames?
Sounds pretty tame.
Until I got thinking about it.
Nothing totally hilarious here.
But what fun to go back through the years....
I named my children specifically so their names could not be shortened to "Jen" and "Bob". Does that stop anyone? Of course not.
Jennifer transcends to: Jenny, Jen, My little peach blossom, Number 2 (Birth order you see).
Robert transforms to: Bob, Bobby, Daddy-Bob, Bopete.
Lindsey morphs into: "Eee", Didi, Linds, Iddy.
Jerrod is slightly altered to: J-rod and Jere.
Erik mutates to: "Earwick" out of the mouth of a 2 year old!
Erika is slightly converted to: Ecka and Ella out of the mouth of that same 2 year old!
Kloey revamps to: Klo, Klo-bo and in the moment Klo-eeeeeeeey.
Cora is reworked to be: Core, Coral, and the best is CLOROX when I get her mixed up with Kloey.
I challenge you to say Kloey & Cora three times fast! See what you come up with.
Trey shortens to "A" by said one year old brother.
Micah can only be referred to as Micah-do! Mike will NOT do. I thought he might think that was his real name at one point.
Rosy is quickly becoming "Roady" by her brothers and everyone else is falling in line. Oh dear!
I'm over the Number 2. I see what my first born goes through, I mean what I put my first born through and I'm all over being number 2. Are you kidding? It is so much easier! Why take the hit if you don't have to.
