My mom never calls me by my first name now. She will either call me by the childhood nickname she gave me or baby or some other pet names. My dad was the same way.
Of course, when referencing me to someone else, they use my actual name. lol
My mom has always called me Doodle, or Trishee Doodle, and that never changed after I had kids.
Hey! I'm a doodle too!
My dad still calls me princess doodle bug, and my grandmother called me doodle.
Really?! That's awesome! My grandma used to call me Doodoo....because she thought that's what my mom was calling me. Definitely not the name you want to hear shouted in a crowded place. Lol
i don't get why they would change what they call you after your baby is born?
My nicknames from them - that only they call me - are very kid-like. I'm not sure why I thought that, it just occurred to me this morning when my dad called me Kiddo that that might change? That it might confuse the babe eventually? Who knows. I hope it doesn't.
Usually still my nickname- Pibbs. Everyone in my family calls me that. It's SO ANNOYING. Sometimes H even calls me that. It was given to me when I was 3 and it stuck, bad.
My parents call me by my name, but when I call if I talk to dad and ask for mom he calls me babe or big girl. I am the oldest. My sister's stepson who is four calls her ninny. Her name is Amanda and when he was starting to talk ge couldn't say it and it suck.
my name. sometimes my full name, which everyone on my mom's side of the family does because i was named after her (insane) sister. so to distinguish us, that's what they did.
my dad has an annoying habit of referring to me as his "little girl" which makes me INSANE and has since i was 12, so i refuse to answer to it. it's like a really really really really long pavlovian experiment to see if i can train him to respond to stimuli appropriately.
My toddler niece knows the difference between a nickname and a given name. When talking about me, she says Heather. When calling for me, she yells HaHa.
Pooh, after Winnie the Pooh. Everyone in my family calls me that, parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc. Hence the username and avatar. I apparently resembled the bear during my infancy--all belly.
My mom names off my siblings before she gets to my name. I am the oldest lol.
My grandmother does this. She'll name my sisters, my mother, and my aunt until she gets to the right name. Sometimes she will even say, "whatever your name is!" Lol. It's easier for her to use my nickname.
