It occurred to me today that poor little Madelyn might have difficulty when it comes time to go to Kindergarten and learn to spell her name. It's not that "Madelyn" is so hard to spell...it's more that she might not know exactly what her name is because we rarely use it! And to think of all the hours we spent pondering and debating over what to name her :)
The following are a mere sampling:
Maddie
Maddiecakes (thanks to Auntie Kelsie)
Button (also thanks to Auntie Kelsie)
Little Lamb (Gramma O's favorite)
Precious Lamb (frequent derivation of the above)
Juicy Girl
Sweet Girl (Daddy's favorite)
Drooly McDroolerson (becoming entirely too fitting)
Snebly (Grampa B's favorite)
Sweatheart
Bright Eyes (which is, in itself, a nickname of one of my baby nicknames "Bright Eyes the Guinea Pig"...see my father for an explanation!)
Sugar
and, of course, the ever descriptive "Baby"
This topic begs the question: if a nickname is significantly longer than the name itself, is it by definition a nickname?
Discuss.
Much love,
Kimberlee (AKA: Kim, Kimmie, Honey, Sweets, Babe, Love, and Babymama)
