We call our oldest Buddy. He has been called that since he was a baby and I don't know why. In fact, when our second was born and was learning to talk she said Buddy pretty quickly. After she could actually say his name she rarely would. We would ask her to say his name and she would look at us and say "Buddy." It was funny!
Our second has the nickname of Cessie. My Dh started that one...called her Princess and then shortened it to Cessie and it stuck. He also calls her Cessalyn!!
My youngest has several nicknames but the main one is Nani. When she was born the kids were very into Lilo & Stitch and Lilo's older sister is named Nani. (not sure how it's really spelled). Her name does start with N and somehow Nani took off from that. Everyone calls her that. We also call her Lunka Lousie and Lou Lou. And, our oldest two sometimes call her "The famous Chubb!" It's a wonder she knows her real name!!
My son's nickname is "Bean". It all started when my daughter started to talk. She couldn't say Brendyn so she started calling him "Bean Bean". Needless to say, it stuck!
My oldest we call peanut becuase when she was born the doc right away said oh she is just a little peanut. My middle dd we call naners. Her name is Anna and we would call her Anna banana but it just morphed into naners. My little guy is the RJ dude.
Our youngerst is Lisa.. her nick name is Lou Lou.. that stuck by older sister requesting we read skip to my lou 100 times a day.. and little sister doing a little hip wiggle when we read.
our oldest is Sara and her nickname is Nellie... why??? little house on the prarie of course..
We are good friends with a detective involved in high profie kidnappings.. he suggest that when in public places where preditors may be.. (ie.. park, pool, amusement parks) you call your childern by a nick name..
