My son's name is Harrison but since he was born we call him Dr. Jones from
the Indiana Jones movies. Everyone loves it and calls him Dr. Jones often. 

My wife also calls him Bunny and I sometimes call him Monkey so we also
started calling him the Bunny Monkey.

Nicknames are so funny.  We thought we'd call Austin AJ (short for Austin
James) but we rarely do.  I call him Buddy most of the time, and so does my
husband actually.  Austin really does not like anyone else call him anything
but Austin.  He tollerates us calling him Buddy, but the other day he asked
me to call him Austin, so I'm really trying to do that more often.
	With Oriana, I swore I'd never call her Ori.  I thought Ori sounded
ugly, and if we'd shorten her name at all I preferred Ana.  Wouldn't you
know it though, Austin started calling her "Ori Bori Guacaholi."  So we
started calling her that too, and now we mostly call her Ori.  She's even
said what sounds like Ori herself a couple of times, so Ori it will be.
	I'm glad both of our kids have grown up sounding names they can use
when they get older.  I was Missy growing up, and am so glad I am now
Melissa and had Melissa to switch to when I felt I outgrew Missy.
Just some thoughts.
Melissa

When mark was a baby, he was the wee one, and then he became pootsa and then
just toots and epentually we had to remember to call him mark in front of
his friends. I think my husband said pootsa is nerwegian for something but i
don't remember what.
