If your grandchild was given your childhood pet name what would they be called?

Thankfully my pet name died out when I was very young or I'd really pity any future great grandchild been called Didding.
What horror could be inflicted on yours?

Bubsy - my mother still calls me this! I’m in my 40s 🤣

I assume you mean your childhood nickname like Lilibet ? Not the name of your childhood pet 😂

Me I dunno. Don’t think I ever had one and my parents aren’t around to ask.

Kids pickle and sausage. So they could be my imaginary great grandkids names

I was called Andme for a long time as apparently whenever I saw my older brother do something or get something I used to say And me over and over until I got it as well.

Lou Lou. I have wisely not informed the DC of this to prevent such an occurrence.

Wink or Toots. 47 now and DPs still call me these.

My DD never ever calls me by my actual name unless we're in company 😂

This is still better than another (very freckly) family member who was affectionately referred to as Fly Shit Face Blush

As my parents would say, it was a different time back then...
