A Girl With Many Names

Alexandra’s nicknames. None of them make sense. All of them are obnoxious. Most of them rhyme.

1. Stinker

2. Stinker binker

3. Stink-a-link

4. Stink-a-bink

5. Stinky butt

6. Stinky pants

7. Fussy pants

8. Cranky pants

9. Silly goose

10. Silly goose-a-loose

11. Baby love

12. Tiny baby love

13. Beautiful baby love

14. Beauty

15. Baby boo

16. My precious

17. Kiddo

18.  The Kid

I’m beginning to suspect she won’t know her own name for some time. Similar to what Marcus went through in grade school (when he discovered that his first name is actually "Derrick") she will insist that her name is "Cranky Pants" only to have her teacher bet her that her name is actually "Alexandra."  Later, upon arriving home, she will discover that her name is, indeed, "Alexandra" and she will be burdened for the rest of her life over the decision to go by "Cranky Pants" or "Alexandra."

In short, I think we've already messed her up for life.
