Well, it's beginning to look like many, if not most of us, have or do call
our children odd nicknames. Julian sometimes idly ponders whether we actually
remember his given name.

He is often called Puff, which is short for Juli-Puff, from a long ago
interest in Pokemon, when he gave himself the name. (He also gave Beth the name
Beffy-boo when he was little, and she is still his Beffy-Boo. Interestingly,
other, close family friends also often call her Beffy-Boo, which is a little odd, I
guess. He also gave her the name Fluff. I am rarely anything other than
Mama.) Other names include Pokey, Bubbles, and other things. He likes them, but we
are all clear that we be careful not call him those things in front of his
friends. (At youth group which Beth advises she called him sweetie once, and
everyone just pretended she was talking to the other Youth Adviser LOL)

In utero he was Ignatius.

Should we all be taking out Trust funds for future counseling?
