She knows both mine and DH's as well as babe! She will try to get my attention when I am purposefully ignoring her by saying "hey [my name]...hey babe!" It is hilarious! She still calls us mama and dada most of of the time though. mediagirl on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1389546 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 08:34:23 +0000 mediagirl 1389546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnlove: BABE!!

I was just going to come back and post this! Very important that a child can tell someone their parents name instead of just "mom" or "dad" Mamaof2 on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1389488 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 07:52:41 +0000 Mamaof2 1389488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes they both do PinkElephant on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1389380 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 01:02:51 +0000 PinkElephant 1389380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So cute! My 19 month old has no idea....but I actually intend to teach her my name, as well as my husbands/nanny's names, when she gets a big older. A few weeks ago ran into a lost little boy (maybe about 4 years old) in my neighborhood (I live in an urban area full of high rises, so it's impossible to know all our neighbors) and it was so helpful that he was able to tell us the full name of the adult he'd last been with (his nanny) in order to locate her. rattles on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1389240 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:08:43 +0000 rattles 1389240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ha, that's pretty adorable.

My husband and I rarely use first names so she has probably only heard it a handful of times! mrs. tictactoe on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1388879 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:35:59 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1388879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Liam calls me by my first name all the time!

Which is hilarious because I have a name that is usually really hard for little kids to say. :happy: My pediatrician says it is totally normal for first-borns, and that she has heard some pretty hilarious nicknames that kids pick up from the other parent (like "babe").

But DH never uses my name so J doesn't know mine. chopsuey on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1388841 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:19:00 +0000 chopsuey 1388841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ haha she calls my by my korean name occasionally. cracks me up. mrsjazz on "Does your LO know your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-your-first-name#post-1388766 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:46:22 +0000 mrsjazz 1388766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes and she used to call us both by our first names a lot but we broke her out of that habit by correcting her each time. She only does it occasionally now. Or she'll say Daddy First Name or Mommy First Name.
