What's in a (nick) name?

Almost from the moment I gave birth to Adeline, I was asked, "Do you call her Addy?" Too in love with her precious name, and not yet acquainted with the little creature well enough to know what suited her, I gave very tentative, vague responses ... kind of along the lines of, "No, but I won't be offended if you do." (And really, what kind of a response is that?)

Now after 9 months, the little dare devil has earned many a nick name. Some of these were short-lived and are now retired, some are still in rotation. In no particular order ... here's what she'll answer to!

• Adel-lion
• Pumpkin
• Punkin
• Punkin pie
• Addy Lou
• Lou Lou
• Little Girl
• Big Girl
• Love
• Lovey
• Sweet Pea
• Baby
• A
• Little A
• Dinosaur
• Sack of Potatoes 
• And of course, Addy!
