Nicknames

As some of you may know, we've never been able to call our cats by their proper names. As you may have guessed a similar pattern is arising with Verity. To the parents out there... will this be an issue? Will she never learn her name?

Here's the running list:

Very bear
Birdy bear
Bingo bear
Lil Goombi
Lil Babu/Babu bear/Babu
Lil Smoogie Bear (this was more just in utero, now not so much)
Stinky Pockets (wait, that's Erin's)

We never call her Vera which I thought would be a nice nickname for Verity, and even VJ is rarely used!

Frank, she's adorable!

No worries on if she'll ever learn her given name, she will...every time she does something you don't want her to! I know it may be hard to imagine right now ever being upset with her...but believe me, she'll learn her first name, middle name, and last name!

It's like my Mom used to do...if I did something I wasn't supposed to, she'd holler out First, Middle, Last names and I knew I'd better hustle to wherever she was standing.

We've got nicknames for all the kids, but when Loch & Rinny get going, the full name disclosures come out! Then they know...!!!
