Do you shorten your kids names or call them by nick names?

I call Thea "Tea" all the time (Tea is Thea in Hungarian so i suppose technically I'm still calling her Thea lol) Richard call her Tetley lol (Tetley Tea get it )

We have lots of pet names for her too, my kid is gonna grow up totally confused about her name

Jamie is normally called Jam, although OH thinks its funny to call him Marmalade?!

 

[Melly+2]

Hopey, stinks (bloody men) and i call her chicken pop sum times but i am not sure why,

 

[Princess_Puddles]

We always call Harrison, Haribo or Bubby

I never call Stanley 'Stan' although others do and I guess it'll be inevitable as he grows up and gets his own friends.

We have lots of nicknames though, chunky hunky monkey, spud, little man, the usual stuff!

Finlay gets called Finn and has gazillion different nicknames - all of which are too embaressing to post here! Most of the time we probably don't know where we get them from!

We sometimes call Arianna "Ash" as thats her intials. Otherwise it's just the usual, tooty or babys, etc

Brody: Minky, pookie, pokey, OH calls him pokemon

God looking at that I must sound nuts.
