nicknames!

I have lots of nicknames. I'll list them for you!

  • Joobs-All of my siblings . there was even a song by my brothers friends when i was in 4th grade-Joobs, Joobs, has no boobs! seriously 4th grade! who has boobs in 4th grade!? they were in highschool. Loosers!
  • Goober-my brother Aaron and all that know him. Sharlesa
  • Aunt Goober-aaron's kid, and lance is uncle goober! too funny!
  • Jules-my sister in law, and other various friends over time
  • Julia Gulia-my brother in law whipped this out the other day. and the secretary at the surgeons office really wanted it to be my real name.The Wedding singer
  • crazymama-my email name-that people identify me by if they know me from the internet
  • Julie-the name my mom picked to call me
  • Julia-my grown up given name that i go by at church on occasion. they all start out calling me Julia but figure out i go by Julie , so I answer to both.
and then there are nicknames I made up to call other people
  • Toot-my sister Maria-we made up a song for that one
  • Boob-my brother Bruce-why not? my name is Joobs!
  • Monkey buns-Pierce
  • Sparkle sunshine-Hope when she was tiny , she had huge bows and giant CZ earrings and bracelets!
  • Joy-Chatty Cathy-she talks alot
  • Libby-I named Liberty, Liberty so I could call her Libby. She picked Liberty to go by
  • Hope-Hope's real first name is Julia but we obviously don't call her that. It matches the theme for the girls name. But i didn't like the way Hope Julia sounded. so I named her Julia Hope and call her Hope. but it gets confusing at the pharmacy and the DRs office.
  • and aunt ______ or uncle______-if you are and aunt or uncle that is your name when i am talking to my kids and even when they aren't around. Some of the aunts think it's funny but then my kids only refer to them as aunt or uncle. the ones that think it's funny don't make their kids call me aunt Julie. They call me Julie-like we are equals. It is weird.
  • I call a bunch of my cousins aunt___________ or uncle______- because, they are old and were married when i was a kid. thus they are equal to being an aunt or uncle.
  • I call some adult friends aunt or uncle referring to them with my kids if they want to be .
  • If they are mormon and adults we call them Sister or brother________.
although with the last few I have discovered that if I don't refer to them as aunt or uncle or brother or sister my kids call them whatever i call them. So that's why Joy calls all my friends by their first name. Sorry if it isn't respectful. It isn't my favorite thing. but it's how it is. if you wqant her to call you something else tell me what you want to be called and watch it transform into your" real name."

So what nicknames do you have? what do you call other people?

That was fun reading about all your different nicknames. The only nickname I have ever really had is Brookie. Well except for all the silly names Reilly has given me over the years.

Well, I did have boobs in the 4th grade. I hated it. But no nicknames associated with them thankfully. Mostly my nephews call me Aunt Tam. My ward is getting to know me as got2shop since that's on my email and my license plate thanks to my dh (I wonder why??) My 10 year old, Taylor, was Tator Bug when he was a baby since he was just 4 pounds, then later just Bug. My 5 year old, Connor, is Boo.
