We don't use his NN often. Although he does have a bunch of silly pet names that we say often. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2101968 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 09:12:21 +0000 Anagram 2101968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call her her full name 50% of the time and a nickname the other 50%. It's not a real nickname, it's "My-my", hahaha.</p> <p>Funny this is, if you ask her what her name is, she'll say "MyMy". So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2101900 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:40:48 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2101900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually use her full name, even though I love one of the nick names for it. The nn just doesn't seem like her. Occasionally we will call her Ayaya - which is what her 2-yr old cousins call her. (Not really close to her real name other than first and last letter. :silly: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2101862 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:19:51 +0000 Alivoo01 2101862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call him by his first name. Once in awhile, DH will call him by his first and middle because he's frustrated or exasperated. lol</p> <p>My mom calls him by his Chinese name and he's totally clueless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2101692 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:59:56 +0000 littleblessings 2101692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day. I use both kids full names and nick names. They both answer to their names and nicknames. </p> <p>DD goes by her name S or bee<br /> DS goes by his name H or buddy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2101081 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:40:28 +0000 littlejoy 2101081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost always call her by her nickname, "Al" ... Do you guys remember the show Step by Step? I always thought it was so weird that they called their daughter Al, ha. So much for that ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2101003 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:31:19 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2101003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought we'd call J by a nickname most of the time but I've really come to prefer his full name and i call him by that. </p> <p>My mom hasn't called me by my real name since i was a baby and I actually find it so annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2100994 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:26:00 +0000 Finfan 2100994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nickname almost exclusively.

I do have a million nicknames for her but they are silly and not something I'd regularly call her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2100948 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:55:41 +0000 Corduroy 2100948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No nickname for our LO. Her name doesn't lend itself to it. We add -girl to the end of her name like "Laura-girl." She calls herself "first name last name" every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2100904 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:31:15 +0000 DillonLion 2100904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost exclusively by her nickname, but I introduce her with her full name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2100820 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 13:50:02 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2100820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter is Quinn, but we call her Quincy.

Only about 1/2 of the time, but I think it's cute.

I am pretty sure she likes it that way. Lorelei is "Flea" most of the time, and Ellie calls her "Lita Flea." Sometimes we call Lorelei "Lita" (we pronounce it Lee-tah), but she's mostly Flea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2081535 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:05:52 +0000 littlejoy 2081535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our little one's name is already short, but half the time, we just call her Al. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2081529 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:00:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 2081529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nickname usually, but I will pull out her full name every once in awhile when I mean business. :) She prefers her nickname and will correct me at times saying "my name is nickname, not fullname" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2081527 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 11:58:14 +0000 Mae 2081527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly I call her boo or booba. I have no idea why. It is not remotely close to her name lol. If I do call her her name it is her full first name. Although when I talk about her to other people I often call her by her (name related) nickname. Although that may be because I'm lazy and her nickname is faster to type. My husband equally calls her boo, her full name, or a different name-related nickname than the one I use (I use fia, he uses nona-- so not at all close). It's entirely possible our daughter won't know what her name is until college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2081523 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 11:54:33 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2081523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 we use his full name but I mostly call him chickadee</p> <p>LO2 I think we will mostly use her nn but time will tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2081492 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 11:34:41 +0000 looch 2081492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends, usually full first name only, but sometimes I shorten it, sometimes I call him a nickname derived from the shortened name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-your-lo-by-their-full-name-or-a-nickname/page/2#post-2081488 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 11:32:15 +0000 avivoca 2081488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually her full name.
