Jasmine still calls herself "Jazzin" which we find adorable.
Bekah is now "bubba." And if we say "Jasmine" too many times, she points to herself and says "Bubba!!" :lol:

How about your kids? When they were learning to talk, how did they refer to themselves?

When I was little, I called myself "Nonny." Charlene is a tough name!

I can't remember ever calling myself anything! LOL...my brother, when he was really little and just learning to talk, used to call me "Mikkelly" (my nickname is Kelly).

Braydon is Bubba
Amalie is Ams or Doodle
Kaelyn is Cake or Kaekerbug
Jack is Woogie (Kaelyn says "The Woog-ster") and Amalie calls him "Sweet Love"

When I was growing up my nickname was Midge or Midget and my brothers nickname was Boots

Bethany is EbE

JoHannah was JoJo but she really only wanted to be called by her name JoHannah and we said it with a Ha sounding hat JoHannah and she wanted to be called Ha like HaHaHa JoHannah... since it did not require a birth certificate change we switched the way we pronounced it for her... it was tough to get use to but that was a year ago now and we are all trained ;)

I was Pebbles and my little sister was Buttons :)

In HS I was Tee to most of my friends.

Too funny and what an inspiring layout! Since my brother was 5 years younger and couldn't say 'Melanie' that is how I got 'Mel' for a nickname. The kids made up names that I have no idea where they got some of them.

Joy - JoyJoy
Sarah - SarahBeara
Billy - Bird
Wade - PoBo
Chad - Chadzini

DH called Wade & Chad 'Get Off' and 'Stay Off' but there was a different meaning than I can explain here.

Of all the nick names I've been called Ann is my fave. I've been called poony but absolutely hated it. Now that I look back - Cranky Princess was probably the most fitting - which I said as Fwanky Pwincess - LOL

My kids say:
Si or Siman for Simon
Liv, Livi, Owivia, Wiv for Olivia

My DH's pet name for Olivia is Mushka which I think is mouse in Ukrainian.

I have always been called Sissy by family (most of my cousins don't know my real name is Kristina/Kristy). I will also answer to Squeeze Mammal if my stepdad is talking (long story).

Grace is Boober - always has been and refers to herself that way too.
Caroline calls herself Carlean and we call her Carrie or Chubbs (talk about gonna need therapy).

hee hee...these are funny :)

Camille - is Mille or Monkey (there have been more, but we've narrowed down to these)
Lily - Sweet Baby Lil, Lil' Bit, Lilkins, or just Lil' (Camille was already calling Lily "Lil" before she was born - LOL!)
