Day to Day happenings in my life

Call me anything

PROMPT May 23rd

Write about nicknames. What nicknames do you have for people in your life? What nicknames do others use to refer to you? Do any of these names have an interesting story for how they came to be?

Oh dear, this prompt is hard, I don’t usually give nicknames but in Australia particularly names always get shortened. My friends Karen and Gary are Kazaa and Gazza,
I’ve found that a lot of people with nicknames which sound nothing like their proper names derived from a younger sibling’s attempts at trying to pronounce their names.
My granddaughter who is thirty now still gets called Boo. Her name is really Beth but got called Bethyboo when she was tiny.
It’s funny with our dog Lucy, she gets called so many different names like: Loopy, Loo loo, dog, Lucile. She comes to anything so long as you have food!
