My Sons childrens names are Joshuah, Jordan and Jaye. Sadly he divorced the Mother of his children but they are still good friends. ( he says that he will love her forever and never find a replacement).... I'm waiting for his house with the name of 'The Popping J's' Gerri x

My youngest son is 'spike' - named himself that after his first crew/buzz cut 5 years ago. (He's more of a 'shaggy' now!!) My oldest was called 'charlie' by some kid on the bus who didn't know his name - now everyone calls him that, even his teachers and the janitor.

My poor kids are going to hate me when they are teenagers! My son was such a chubby baby and my aunt said he was a little pudding so we nicknamed him 'tidgy pud' (after the little yorkshire puds) and he has been 'Tidge' to all the family ever since. My mum nicknamed my daughter 'DoDo' Have no idea why. Must be between them. Claire xx

Eldest is Kerry AKA Kel, Kel Bel, Smell, her second name is Louise so when she was little she said it as Kerry Wheeze LOL which we changed to Kerry weasel... unfortunaly the weasel bit stuck and she is still known as weasel/wease!!!! Then come the the twins Luke and Nathan collectively known as Horice and Doris.. No idea why and not a particluar name for either or simply known as the boys ( and the funny thimng is everyone know i mean just the twins and not ben when i say the boys) Luke AKA Pukes (cos he used to a lot!!!) Dukes cos it rhyms with Puke but sounds better LOL or smiler. Nathan AKA Nath or Nuts. Youngest.... Benjamin AKA Little man, mitghy midget and more recently gapster ( cos he has several teeth missing) and when they are playing me up i have several names for them ALL too rude to put on a public board!!!!!!

My youngest (19) is nicknamed Felix by my dad (91!) because he comes and goes like a cat. Eldest boy is called 'Spanky' by my husband and I - something to do with grandad again. Boy used to wear grandads old peaked cap when he was a toddler (wouldnt be without it). Grandad said there used to be some sort of film series called 'Spanky and his gang' in the 1930's and the kid who was leader of the gang (Spanky!) always wore an old peaked cap.
