What's In A Name?

We spent such a long time figuring out what we wanted to name these two babes of ours.  And yet, we rarely call them by their given names. 

Instead, they are and forever shall be:

Boo-Boo
Bo-Bo
Lovie
Baby Girl
Sweet Baby Girl
Gorg Porg
Gorgy Porgy
Gorgy Porgy Puddin' and Piesie
Lover
Lover Bover
Love A Dove Dove
Lova A Dove Dover
Sister
Nu-Nu
Mi-Mi
The Girls
The Twins
The Ladies
The 'Naners
The Crazies
The Giggles
Thelma and Louise
The Rugrats
The Knuckleheads
Goobers

When they were infants, I made up this song for them (to the tune of Clementine): 

"Mumma loves you.  Mumma loves you.  Mumma loves you, yes she does. 
Daddy loves you.  Daddy loves you.  Yes he does.  (Kiss)  Just because.
You're a coo-coo face.  You're a crazy bean.  But we love you just the same. 
And we always call you "Sister", so you'll never know your name."

Thankfully, they answer to them all. 

As my Usher Dupey always said, "You can call me anything, except late for supper."  I guess he had a point.
