We keep saying that we should use his real name more often so that he knows what it actually is and doesn't think its bubba. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-550149 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:35:33 +0000 hilsy85 550149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A million and one nicknames that have nothing to do with his real name.

Her name is super short (three letters) so it not cumbersome to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-549971 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:26:31 +0000 Bao 549971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has multiple things I call her, whatever comes out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-549970 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:25:41 +0000 oahujeni 549970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @boogs, pretty much half and half </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-549967 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:24:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 549967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually her nickname, but I'll use her fullname when talking about her to other people and when she's being a stinker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-549865 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 05:30:29 +0000 bpcmarj 549865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I talk about her I almost always use her nickname. When I talk to her it's half and half. Most people call her by her nickname. But, we picked her name with the intention of her having a nickname so I am OK with that:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-549830 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 01:21:42 +0000 Honeybee 549830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-moreyour-los-real-name-or-nickname#post-549829 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 01:20:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 549829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: love it! Poor Lala has so many nicknames, she doesn't know if she's coming or going.
