nicknames

growing up, i had nicknames...different ones from different people
some i liked, some i didn't, or just not as much as others
then some i thought were cool and wanted people to call me and thank goodness they didn't stick...like the time i thought it would be cool for people to call me 'e.t.' which was my middle and maiden name-yeah, HORRIBLE idea
some of my nicknames were:
buddy
rach
rachies
sissy (only my younger sisters called me this)
rachie-bear (parents only)
now that i have a little girl, she is starting to get nicknames
some i understand, others i have no clue where they come from
here are a few of sophia's
sophie
monkey
punkin or little punkin (both by me)
gigaboo (by john and it sounds better than it looks typed)
now the others are by my mom and i have NO CLUE where they come from
munkinshiner (makes me think of moonshine)
punkinhimer
it makes me laugh thinking about what we call her now and our little endearing terms for her
i wonder what they will be as she grows up and which ones she'll like or hate or not care about

  2. From our high school days... remember Agatha, Bertha, Ethel...??? So sad that I don't remember who was whom but I thought you were Bertha and I was Agatha.

  3. That's so funny!! I was totally going to post those nicknames too! Well, for those of you that don't remember, I was Ethel, Ashley was Agatha, Rachel was Bertha (I think), and I can't even remember who Lisa and Lauren were... Lisa's started with an M I think.... LOL too funny!
