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?

@LoveFall

It is so cliche, but my Father, even in his most sentimental moments in his eighties, and my fifties, once in awhile called me Little Girl. It made me melt every time, I can assure you Little Girl was not descriptive of me at that point in my life.

I miss him so much.

This is so lovely and I'm so sorry for your loss Thanks

Fizzlebricks - my brother is really good at giving people funny nicknames.

The Babby (even when I was no longer the babby)

DSs used to call DH Timblemouse.

They have not called their sons that.

Somehow can't see it catching on.

The Mandrake! (shrieks when pulled apparently)

Or Whacky (my name pronounced incorrectly by my baby brother)

Titch, which is considerably better than a nickname I acquired for a short while from my friends at the time - Brownie Girl!

Which was a reference in my ability to tan in which left me with a considerably darker skin tone than them but tbh I looked liked I’d been rolling around in mud and needed a good scrub!
