Just like my daughter then Gerri:- My Daughter is called Sophie and gets called Bo, Boff, Lady Vicks, Soph and Princess and she is only 9 - bless her she never moans - she just gives you one of those cheeky smiles.

My family call me Nell, but when I was a child I got called Claudia, Snoodlepush, Fanny-Ann and many other names by my mother - no idea why! If she called me Helen I knew she was going to tell me off. As for my father - when I was about 3 someone asked me what my name was. I went all over shy, so she said "What does Daddy call you?" whereapon I said "Beastly child!" nell

And Why? My father used to call me TOSH for whatever reason and my grandparents used to call me Bonky loo lah - because when I was a toddler I just used to put my head down and charge - I ended up banging my head or hurting myself more times than enough.
