The Name Game


After seeing this doodle on NotebookDoodles last week I got to thinking about nicknames.
I'm big on nicknames.
So is my family.
At one parent teacher conference my sister's pre-school teacher was worried that she didn't know her name, she'd always say her name was Hannah Banana, never just Hannah.

Nicknames are special, they insinuate a level of closeness, and they're just plain fun.
So anyways, just to prove how much I love nicknames here are some of the ones I get to use...
Jus, Cole, Edie Beads, Layl, Banan, Beth, Bobo, Pipsqueak, Laur, Keegy, Em, Jules, Sar, Manth, PeteyBoy, Riri, Al, Prissy, Wilm, Coley, Wheezer, Sneako, Tuffer, Oller, Knicky, Allie, Celia, Eb-ba-ba.

Do you have a nickname?
What's the best nickname you get to use?

Your list is lengthy. I get called Melissa all the time but that's not a nickname nor do I like it. I guess I get called Mel the most.
