S Family Nicknames

Lucy's nicknames still continue to be "Snuggle Buggle," "Buggle," "Buggle Boo," and "Bug." I also call her "Lovey Lu" and "Lu." Sometimes I call her "Buh-Buh," because that is one of the sounds she makes right now.

Lucy's nicknames have made me think about some of the creative nicknames, silly titles, and silly phrases that my siblings had. Here are ones that I can remember:
  • Viv
  • Vivi
  • Vivi Voo
  • Vivi the Fusser
  • Mah-da-ca
  • Mah-ca-ca
  • Mahn-ca
  • Chef Boy Aldee
  • Aldee Baldee Boo
  • Alden Balden
  • Aldoo
  • John
  • Milly (Mom said she thought of this one when she was reading Hamlet's Mill and thinking about Millstones)
  • Milly Willy Huggy Hilly Lovey Lilly Silly Gilly
  • Milly Moo
  • My Little Angel (V would call my sister C this, which made my brother A upset. He would say, "She's not an angel. She's just C!"
  • Liza
  • Liza Bean
  • Snugglebean
  • Bean-A-Rama
  • Liza Loo
  • Looper Doo
  • Looper
  • Liza Looper
  • Loopey Doo (a variant of Lovey Loo, which we also used)
  • Favorite Sister of the Universe 
  • Lize
  • Eliza Lies a Lot (Not that this is true! We just liked to say it because "Lize" and "Lies" are homophones)
  • Cal Pal
  • Cal-Pal-A-Rama
  • Pal
  • Wernk
  • Wernk-A-Chunk
  • Wernky Wernk 
  • Wernkalicious
  • Schmoshem
  • Schmosh
  • Schmoosh
  • Schmooshroom
  • Schmoshy Schmoosh
  • Snugglebum
  • Pardner
  • Lydia the Prettia
  • Lyddie Loo 
  • Lover Dove
  • Snugglebug
  • Lyddiebug
  • Sweet Pea (I think just Dad used this)
  • Peanut (just Dad used this one too)
If L grows up to be a grouchy old lady, maybe we will call her Lyddie the Old Biddie as a joke!

This is fun to see in writing! I remember a few others:
Mahn-ca
Mah-dah-cah
Aldoo
Sweet Pea
Wernk-a-chunk

L used to think Dad never knew her name because he ALWAYS called her "Peanut."

Your kids are so cute, Monica.
