I have just thought perhaps I should tell MrD that his name isn't Dudley...  

as I often say to him "Ducky's son Duds... blah blah blah"... he probably thinks that's his name too!

But then as I am actually talking about a friend called Ducky...    does it really matter?

 Love hearing these children's nicknames!

So, DD Cup? 

*snarfles*

  I thought everybody knew this!

Woo hoo! I'm not alone!

Make sure you're here this evening Slinki..... your turn for hangman  

Next time he moans when I call him Duds in public, I'm going to point out that it could be soooo much worse.  

My little sister called me Boo Boo. 

Care to divulge why, Blizz?

Hahah!! I'll be getting hung by my brother for this  

She couldn't say Liz, so she just changed it to Boo Boo.  

Blizz, so cute 

I was called Bud as a child *coff* and into my teens  shortened from Rosebud, which was similar to my name.

My Brother was called Chub... cos he was a right wee porker. 

Yay! Look forward to playing all over again!

when my youngest was a baby we often called her charlie poo (for obvious reason), my eldest we gave a name that couldn't be shortened, so his friends called him by his surname which they did shorten!!

random names - "fruities" were rice crispies - eldest again!

I love the random words they come up with

I love the mispronunciations too! I still always say "ploblem" instead of problem because of how Duds pronounced it when he was little.  (only in appropriate company of course) 

bomerbangets!!!

^^^ is what I used to call a certain fruit

We always say radigator (for radiator) and cowowah (for califlower) - I love it when kids say things wrong. My daughter (Georgina or George) will always be Tooer to my grandson ...............we all refer to her as Tooer to the grandchildren.

My son met my cousin from Ireland a couple of years ago, he called him and still does call him Avocado

The one I loved most of all was - my niece used to call the handle bars on her bike - handbardles.

Her sandals were always sandcastles.

My daughter had to say a prayer in assembly once for all the school staff - try as she might she could not say caretaker - it was always tarecaker.

And what is his name?

my daughter used to say carbella for umbrella and she STILL says vininegar. I should correct her, I mean shes off to college in September, but it still makes me laugh so i call it that too.

I used to have an office junior that always referred to gloves as 'mittens'    I kept saying, they're not mittens, they have fingers.. but she insisted she had to call them that because she couldn't say the other word.    Eventually I got her to say it... and it came out as 'Glubs'... she had some mental block and just couldn't stop herself ending the word with a 'b'

My daughter came home from school (Reception) and told me the Head Mischief had told them a story in assembelly.....I could never look at the Head without smiling after that.

I like that 

Riccardo

My SIL was known as Auntie Jellybean for a long time

My Nephew used to call Master Cinds Bam Bam because he couldn't say his name.  Another nephew used to call cornflakes fleeflaws.  Master cinds also always pluralises 'going to the cinemas' and he also says mould and closet in a odd way too, no matter how much we have corrected it.  When he first started school there was a boy called Hugo in his class who he insisted was called Fugo, not matter how many times we would try to get him to say H H H Hugo, he would still say H H H Fugo 

Cinds

Thats reminded of when D started nursery, he came home and told me Broccoli had put sand in his hair... i found out he meant Brooklyn

and both the older two used to say fuge instead of huge

This'll take some beating .............God only knows how the confusion arose.

When my oldest boy started school he was friends with a boy called Lionel - this boy was so shy he wouldn't speak. The only person he would speak to was my son - when the teacher wanted a response from 'Lionel' my son and he used to go into the Wendy house where he would speak through my son!

Long story but ..........................the boys name was actually Warren .................God only knows where Lionel came from!

Loving all these.

Duds used to call McDonalds ...."Old McDonalds" ..... never failed to make me smile that one  

My eldest nephew thought Tom off Tom & Jerry was called Tommin.  Probably because of hearing it said as Tom N Jerry.  This is also a kid who when being picked on by a group of boys went out with underpants on his head so the boys wouldn't recognise him, he also took a twig with him to hide behind.  

Aww Cinds bless him!

Jen he's 26 now and we still rib him about it.

The logic of children

When I was four or five my mum was trying to get me to drink some medicine that she had put into a glass of milk. I wasn't fooled.   So I found a plastic bag, poured the milk in to it, tied the bag up and hid it behind the sofa. 

I remember my mum finding it and saying the gypsies must have put it there. I was over the moon at getting away with it..... it wasn't till years later that it dawned on me that I may have missed the sarcasm in her tone.  

Does he work in a creative profession? That's a kid who thinks outside the box (or alternatively - is a bit of a nut job).

He's doing a degree in Quantity Surveying 

However, he is also a bit of a nut job.  I love going out with him and his mates, never a dull moment. 

Awwww, loving these stories!

Said this before on here, but, one of my favourites was when my niece was certain that the guy who played the piano at her ballet class was called Mr. Penis!

I was , and still am occasionally, called Gacow or Cagon by this niece and her brother 'cos neither could pronounce my name when they were small

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm - from that - I couldn't even hazard a guess - What is your name? Oooooooooooooooooooooooh hanf on - Karen?
