What's in a name?



So many people have names that can be shortened to something that still includes part of their original name. My name is Jessica. I have been called Jess, Jessie, Jezzabell, and a few others than shall remain in the past..hahaha...Anyway, Henry is no different, he's got nicknames galore, however, they are of an unconventional nature. Apparantly unbeknowst to me, Hank is a nickname for Henry. If anyone of you ever calls my child Hank, it will be the last, just so you know! Matt and I have come up with a few of our own. It all started with Bailey, our chocolate lab. We call him Leroy, bails, bails hound, ole hound dog to name a few. Then Lucy came along, she goes by Luc, Luc, Lucy goose, Luc. All relatively similiar to their original names. Henry on the other hand so some very interesting nicknames. We refer to him as Bunz, because he's got the cutest lil' baby buns EVER, chicken bunz, chicken nugget, bubba, muffin, because he's got a cute muffin top of a tummy, and Hen bunz, baby Hen, a baby Henry. Matt and I were joking one day that when Henry goes to school and they ask him his name, he's gonna rely with Henry bunz chicken nugget Schulte! Do any of you have fun nicknames for your lil ones? I pray we are not the only weirdos.
