Her full name is Nijmegen, but it’s a mouthful so functionally she goes by Meg everywhere except the vets, where every single time they ask me where her name comes from. Answers on a postcard...

But beyond that: Baba, Babs, Babkin, Pupkin, Meegle, Meggle, Migly, Bobbety, Pupsy, and occasionally ‘Oi!’ And I am prone to saying ‘just a babyyyyy’ at her in an inappropriately gooey voice so I think she thinks that’s her name too.
