A Loved Child Has Many Names

My grandma used to say "A loved child has many names". Apparently an old swedish saying. Anyway, here are some of the nicknames Penelope has aquired:
Peanup
Nuppers
Penelope Peapod
Pippa
P
Penne (like the pasta.....although Cori just calls her "pasta" sometimes:>)
Penelope Jones (No idea where this came from, but my mom is worried that Penelope will grow up thinking her last name is Jones, especially since Wayne and I also call each other "Mommy Jones" and "Daddy Jones". Yes, we are strange, and are already scoping out child phychologists.)
Pen
Big Toe (From Grandpa Ken...)
Penelope Sweet-Pea
And, of course, a plethora of honeybear's, babygirl's, sweetheart's, etc. There is no shortage of nicknames around here.

  1. Penelope lends itself well to lots of cool nicknames. When Olivia was born, there were six older siblings in the house-- she acquired a new nickname every couple of hours. By the end, they morphed into names that seemed to have NO relation to the word "Olivia."

  2. Love her nicknames! And I got the workout thing yesterday! Haven't tried it out yet, but look forward to getting down with salsa. ;-)

  3. 'Kjært barn har mange navn' goes the Norwegian saying, although it has also been known to be used in the other Scandinavian countries. Not everything translates perfectly to the English language unfortunately, but it's nice to see some of Scandinavian culture and sayings surviving down the lines after emigration to the states.
