1 Answer

Answer :

Can’t help you there. We gave our youngest a nickname when he was tiny and he’s been ‘baby bird’ since. We don’t use it in place of his name but I use it more than his name. The oldest then got ‘big bird’ retroactively. And since we want to call the next one Turing (if we have another), we will call him turtle. Anyway, you don’t have to give your kids nicknames but, for us, it’s about holding on to a time when they were tiny and precious.
