Dangerous names

Filed under: — Aprille @ 9:47 am

One of Miles’s approximately four thousand nicknames is Sugar Booger.

I recently learned that booger sugar is a slang term for cocaine.  Maybe I need to cut that one from the list.  That will leave me with just:

  • Snuggle-butt
  • Scoop
  • Noosh-noosh
  • Budu
  • Miles-cachoot
  • Smiles
  • Grumplestiltzken
  • Stinker-bean (obviously some of these are contextually-based)
  • Puppy-kins
  • Butterbean
  • Lots of others that I can’t think of right now but occur to me when the situation arises.

Apparently he’s supposed to start recognizing his name in the next month or so, but I don’t think he has a prayer considering all the other things we call him.

    Oliver has begun to say his own name, but he can’t quite do it, and it comes out, “Olivoo.” So I have begun calling him Olivoo, or Oliboo, and i think it might stick. Very hard to get nicknames to stick around here.

    Yeah, my bet is you don’t call him regularly by his real name until he’s about one and a half, based on all the nicknames you already have! I love that you guys use that mane. I think nicknames are a good thing (well, unless they are mean of course!).
    We use Grumplestiltzken in our house, but it what I call Nate, not the kids! Snapperfish is another that fits nicely in that category.

    My roommate calls her Shih Tzu Sugar Booger. Also Kumquat, Love Bug, Spunkmaster, and Devil Child.

    Would one of those work?
