[quote=Anonymous]Well with us we have formed names that don't echo those of another relative. In our family circle We have a couple of few papas/daddies/pops/mummies/moms/Grandmothers/Nanas/Gimpy (he got the short straw), Puppa-old (arguably also a short straw) and The Ancient (arguably the shortest straw). The thing is that the kids have an individual name for everyone. They all call me "mommy dearest" which is a bit of a joke after I told them about that particular biography. I think they mean it nicely but a few years will tell. Whatever the case I stop them from calling anyone a name that resembles a whine eg Mooooooo(inflection up)oooooooo(inflection down)ooooooo(rising terminal inflection)Mmmmmmmmm. That's an aggravating "mom" in about twelve syllables. It's hard to make 'papa' so egregious.[/quote]
