[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 196885"] Nothing so fun here. My uncle's name is Michael, but we've always called him Wallie. His middle name is Walter. My grandmother *hates* it when people call him Wallie and throws the biggest hissy fit which just encouraged her other 2 boys to do it more and then it stuck with everyone - except my grandmother. Wallie's friends would call and and ask for him (cause he only lived at home on and off til he was like 34 - major difficult child) by Wallie and she would say, "There's nobody hear by that name!", and slam the phone down. Devon's aunt on his dad's side is Merinda, but Devon couldn't say it and called her Ree Ree (long e) as a little one and it stuck. Sounds kinda funny to hear your almost grown son call someone Aunt Ree Ree. And Devon's dad's great aunt was RaRa. My former mother in law tried to call Wynter, Winnie, but I nipped that one in the bud PDQ. [/QUOTE]
