The Name Game

It will truly be a miracle if my daughter ever learns her name. While I'm not a baby-talker, I am a nick-namer. I realized I almost never call Eliah by her given name. Her "official" nickname is Ellie. And I do call her that sometimes. But her list of appellations also includes:


Ellie Belly
Ellie Bean
Jelly Bean
Green Bean
Baby Bean
Beaner
Binker
Binks
Binker Doo
Miss Mouse
Mouser
Peanut


And...


Nutter Butter (a natural extension of Peanut, of course)

...and grandma given names like "cute bug", and "Beanie Jeanie", and "Miss Ellie".
