Do You Have a Nickname? Other than the Obvious 'Mom' :)

Just for fun :)

My nickname when I was little was 'Ra-doo' because my cousin next door couldn't say 'R.'.

Then, for forever, my nickname was 'Red'... my initials spell red, and I happen to have red hair :)

Obviously, I've been called 'Rach'...

My dad, for WHATEVER weird, unknown reason, always calls my mom (whose name is Patricia) 'Norman'. So cute.

I used to do it accidently, but now I am the ONLY person allowed to call my husband 'Bert' (his name is Robert, but goes by Rob)

My kids: Emily (Emmy), Madison (Madi, although when she was born, Emmy called her 'Sonny', LOL!), and Romanov, and we call him Roman :)

What about you? Do you have a nickname? Do you have a nickname for your husband? What about your kids?

What can I do next?

My 21/2 year old has given me a nick name of "KiKi". For some reason he has always called me this no matter how much I have tried to get him to call me mommy. I don't know where he got the name from. There are rare instances that he will call me mommy but the majority of the time, I am "KiKi".

I guess i need to come up with a nick for the hub that is not so random....I do refer to him as my lobster.....because of the episode of friends where Phebee says...''ah she loves him, he is her lobster''..or something to that effect.

I call my mom G'thug to the G'nug. She is a teacher at a pretty rough middle school near me. She is always telling me tales of things her gangsta students do...so I thought the name was suiting and it stuck for good...six years strong now:)

My husband has always called me "Girl". No idea how it started, but it stuck and I answer to it. I've always called him "Sug" but then again I'm from the South so there's a little "sugar" in everything!

answers from Milwaukee on

My four year old calls me "sir" or "Mr. Mom." Not real sure why, I think he's still wrapping his head around both mom and dad having the same name.

My family ALWAYS calls me C. never Chris.

My friends call me Chris and NEVER C.. They call my HUSBAND Chrissy. I think it's so funny because he's SO much bigger than me and it's like calling him "Tiny."

My sister's have known him since we started dating back when they were in high school. He got tagged as 'Chrissy J'. and all our friends ran with it. I thought after 25 years it would stop but now the nieces and nephews call him that. We DID have to correct our nieces when they called him Uncle C.. THAT was hysterical!
