Y’know, some people long for nicknames. And others naturally evoke an abundance.
The Babe is one of the latter. While I won’t share her “real” name online (yet), I wanted to share some of the nicknames we’ve come up with for her. Because, after all, nicknames often become more one’s own identity than a given name. My name is Anne but I’m pretty sure I’ve been Annie since I was a few days old. Taylor’s brother Garrett thought his name was “Hob” (as in: Hobbit) until he was 6, “But my dad calls me Bingle.” Nicknames are a big deal…
