HelpRe: Nicknames
in reply to a message by Joan-Ay
Oh that is so exciting! I already have an Aunt name picked out for myself when/if Sarah has kids - they will all call me Auntie Em.
I think being called an Aunt would be awesome. My mom's friend Susan has always been Aunt Susan to us, and until recently I always kind of thought we were distant relatives. I think the Aunt makes us quite close.
I think that whatever the kid starts calling you will be fine and you will love it and find it very endearing - although I do endorse Aunt, Aunt Nonie would be so cute - but would like to throw Jojo and Jono out there. Jono might be very hard to say actually, harder than Joanie, but it is a workable nickname IMO. (Although I must admit I hate it. Grace has a friend named Jonathan who is always called Jono prn JOHN-oh, and every time she says "me an' Jono" I a. correct her grammar b. make fun of Jono's name.)

Now I'm really starting to consider being Aunt ___ since others have said it's a good idea. Aunt Nonie is a possibilty, but you're right, I love whatever she calls me. As long as it's not something embarrassing like Cow. My little niece Jaylee kept trying to call my mom Kat, but she couldn't say her Ts correctly and she would call her Cow all the time. She also called my stepdad CaCa instead of Papa :P
JoJo wouldn't work, I used to have a blue heeler named JoJo, and well ... she was a really dumb dog. She once jumped out of the bed of our truck going down in highway with a leash around her neck. I still don't see how that dog didn't hang herself.
Thanks!
