Ha, ha, and apparently Shannon didn't either as I see she's cried uncle!

You were right Mom. Baby's name ...Okay okay okay! You were right Mom. Baby's name was Frances in the movie. It has just been so long since I last saw it. And since I am usually right why would I doubt myself this time, huh? :)<BR/><BR/>The funny thing about terms of endearment is that when you use them a lot and then use the person's regular name it sounds like something is wrong. For example, I always say "honey" or "babe" when I am talking to my husband. When I call him MARK it is because he ticked me off and I want to get his attention. But strangely he almost NEVER calls me anything but Shannon... so sad. I call all my children baby but each has his/her own little name. Max is Maxter and Corinna is Nina and of course Annie is Lulu or poopy pants or stinkerpot or nutcracker or pookie doo (that is what her daddy calls her... cute huh?) <BR/><BR/>My mother calls me baby or baby girl sometimes but she used to call me "whales tale"... now what is THAT about!? I have NO BUTT to speak of! Perhaps she was being ironic? Or ironical like my dad would say. Hee hee! :)<BR/><BR/>But it is so true how as soon as we like someone we tend to shorten her name as a way of expressing friendship and perhaps manufacturing closeness that isnt quite there yet... but we hope will be soon. I have a friend who is really blunt and can rub some people the wrong way. But the first week I knew her she started calling me "spicey" (my last name is spicer). I knew that meant she liked me :)shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054528936453284675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-91427041158550999092007-09-30T20:05:00.000-04:002007-09-30T20:05:00.000-04:00People very seldom get the spelling of my name rig...People very seldom get the spelling of my name right the first time, mother got fancy and had to add that second "N". Growing up everyone called me cookie, my mother said it was because I was sweet and round like a cookie. I still have cousins that call me that. Other nicknames..Di, Dy-Dy, Lady Di, and from work, MizMacgyver. <BR/>I thought naming my daughter a short name would keep her from having a nickname but it didn't work that way...her name is Tonya and wouldn't you know people call her Tony. My son's name is Patrick but for the most part no one has shortened it to Pat. I have a tendency to call my beloveds "baby".

Have to say, though that we deliberately named our sons so that the shortened versions of their names were...palatable. Grins. Cooper is Coop, Snoopy, Little Pup, or little hawk. The Pup one is from a book I used to read to him and he liked that part best. The hawk thing is because there's a pair of Cooperi hawks in our neighborhood and he and I are both fascinated with watching them. My other son, Quinnton was named so that when it was shortened it would be Quinn rather than Quint, which I really don't like. He's usually just Q, Quinnie, or Q-bop. We also call him QBL (for Quinn-Bob-Lee, a joke about southern names) Or QDA (Que-dah), which are his real initials. :> As for the DH, he's either honey, sugar, or wolf (short for werewolf). Snork. Since his given name is Ralph, I also frequently call him RA in posts. He usually calls me honey right back, sweetie or hon-pot (honey pot). I got Jeannie-beanie a lot when I was a kid from my sibs, which then shrank to beanie or boo-boo. Or other less pleasant derivitives (she frowns at the memory). My maiden name was Pickering, so you can guess some of the schoolyard nicknames I got from THAT. Snork. Adams is SO much easier. Throughout college I got Boomer, because that's the small town in NC where my family's from. That's still one of my favorites. I love all the Bandita nicknames, including the Duchess one with which I've been graced. Grins. This was fun, Jo, and fun to see what other people do with their kids names! ha!Jeanne (AKA The Duchesse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03492480881584553111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-24102716532386346572007-09-30T18:07:00.000-04:002007-09-30T18:07:00.000-04:00Oh, Jo, I adore nicknames!

Somehow, it doesn't seem like it fits you! <BR/><BR/>Jo, I think Caro was the popular nickname for Lady Caroline Lamb (reaching into the achives here, I read her biography a couple of years ago so I could be wrong). I believe they had lots of Carolines in the family, so they all got different nicknames. that could be why it shows up in Regency novels quite a bit. A popular name at the time. I've never heard it as an endearment for someone other than a Caroline, though. <BR/><BR/>FoAnna, I want to come watch too!!!
