Don't know why, I just really liked it! Oh and obviously that's not my name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1798285 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 22:10:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1798285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's too little, but when I was 3 or 4, I demanded to be called Pete. Because of the movie Pete's Dragon. I also insisted on eating clam chowder (from the movie) and called my parents Nora and Lampie (from the movie). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1798278 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 22:00:38 +0000 Pancakes 1798278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD introduces herself as "FirstName MiddleName LastName Big Kid Orange Japan." I don't even know where she gets this from. Actually, I asked her where she came up with that name and she said, "I looked it up on my phone." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794643 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 15:08:48 +0000 Andrea 1794643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She asks to be called by her sister's name a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794433 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:31:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1794433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: it's the four year old.<br /> @rachiecakes: love hockeybaby, but if the love of hockey holds, you may be in for an expensive hobby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794243 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:15:47 +0000 rachiecakes 1794243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I'm always reminded by relatives that I insisted everyone call me "Dorothy" like from Wizard of Oz when I was small. I think it was between 2 and 4 because those three years that was my Halloween costume! :silly: </p> <p>If I call J "baby" or "my baby" he says, "no! hockey baby!" so he likes to be called, "hockey baby" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794234 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:12:42 +0000 autumnlove 1794234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Haha, is this the older or younger LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794221 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:09:33 +0000 autumnlove 1794221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: She loves being naked/nikki and one of her coaches at gymnastics is Nicole (or Nicola) but goes by Nikki.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794217 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:08:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1794217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yes. She even pretended her name was Elsa for a whole ballet class with a substitute teacher. She would have gotten away with it except one of the other girls at the very end said she wanted to be Elsa now. I was kind of embarrassed and surprised that she would do that. Then again, I give her points for creativity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794090 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:22:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 1794090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol!! where did she get that from? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794083 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:19:58 +0000 autumnlove 1794083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Is she a Frozen fan? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-ask-you-to-call-them-by-a-different-name#post-1794079 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:17:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1794079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter often introduces herself as Elsa.
