Nicknames

You may have noticed that I am avoiding using names on my blog. I'n trying to protect my kids' privacy. Only my family and a few close friends have this blog address, so I probably don't need to worry about it. However, my sister, who has a blog, has given all of her kids nicknames and I thought that would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I am not too great at nicknames, so I am stuck. So I'm asking for your help out there. Send me some ideas for nicknames. I thought maybe each person's nickname should start with the same letter as their actual name does. What do you think?

Daughter #1 (almost 14) J
Daughter #2 (almost 11) M
Son #1 (7) J
Son #2 (3) A
Husband N
Me (probably not necessary since I go by "I") A

I have thought maybe Daughter #1 could be Jumble and Son #2 could be Atom but I am stumped on everyone else. I'm expecting so many good ideas from all of you that I'll have trouble choosing just one for each of us! So don't let me down.

So, when you first started this blog and sent me the message letting me know about it, I checked in and bookmarked the site and then promptly forgot about it. Today I pulled down my bookmarks page and saw the link there and couldn't figure out what the heck it was. So I clicked on it to find out, and here you are. Now that I know that it's really going to get updated on occasion, I'll probably check in more often.

I don't have any ideas for you on the names right now, but I'll think about it.

G (I guess I could use Googie, which is a name his mother uses for him sometimes) was over for dinner today. He was watching TV while I was in the kitchen fixing some food for him when he called out excitedly, "Dad!" When I came to find out what was up, he said, "Scooby-Doo will be right back!"
Later on he noticed it was snowing again (it's been snowing on and off all day) and I said, "Who said it could start snowing again? Did you say it could snow?" "Yes," he said with a wave of his hand and a tone of disgust, "It's all my fault."

Hey, H! Good to hear from you! I hope you can bring Googie with you when you come to visit. I want to meet him! He sounds very cute and smart.
