Our oldests name is Elizabeth. She has many nicknames. Our favorites and I think fits her sometimes are: Elizabeast, and Elizabear, Bearoni, and Beastygirl are the one we use most often. Shes really only grumpy one day a month, If you know what I mean! She has a boyfriend (shes 16+) he was over and she was a little grumpy so when I called them into the kitchen to eat (they were in the ajoining family room so I could have actually just said time to eat but because she was so grumpy I could not resist shouting her nickname ‘Elizabeast’.)I refered her to “Elizabeast and boy, time to eat” He thought it was funny, She did not!

My daughter’s name is Allison Paige. So we call her Ally, Ally P, Ally P Diddy, P Diddy, & somehow I just call her Dit now. She’s 4 & she will actually tell people the list of names they can call her. It’s too funny!
