What unexpected nickname stuck with your child? I'm not talking about Alexander becoming "Alex" or Evelyn becoming "Evie"...I'm talking much more bizarre, that often has nothing to do with the name at all.

At home my sons are affectionately known as Muggins and Skeet. Skeet hasn't started school yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses to introduce himself that way!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

We call my son Taz - he was like the cartoon Tasmanian devil when he was a toddler - he's in his 20's now!

I call my son Bude a lot. Similar to his name tbh but no idea why, it's very random but does rhyme with his name😄

We still call our 13 year old Monkey since she was a cheeky monkey toddler!

My DD8 nickname is Hawkins. Her dad (my DH) likes to add kins onto names when being affectionate so for example, Poppykins but then may shorten to just call them kins. He's from the NE and when he would say ahhhh Kins when she was a baby it sounded like Hawkins and it's stuck. She is as likely to be called Hawkins as she is by her actual name now.

Not my children but my late uncle always, always called me Slack. It was because I loved the chuckle brothers when I was little. Stuck for all 35 years though! 😂

Scar or scary… it’s connected to his name (Oscar) but I never expected him to introduce himself as “scary” to his friends. I wonder what his friends parents think if he’s spoken about at home.
