The Various Nicknames Of My Son

In his all too brief life so far, my son has picked up a variety of nicknames.

Some are variants on his name:

  • Cammie
  • Cambo
  • Camiford
  • Camdizzle
  • Cameroonie
  • Cameroondie
  • Little Ram
  • Rammers
  • Ram Jam
  • Jammers

Then there are the functional names he’s picked up at different “growth phases”:

  • Lil Shrieky
  • Lil Slumpty
  • Slumptiford
  • Standiford
  • Droolio
  • Rolltastico
  • The Rooty Tooter
  • Drama
  • Dreh-Dreh (a particularly menacing version of “drama”)
  • Slappy
  • Grabby
  • Grabbity Grab Grabs
  • The Jolly Jumper
  • The Rolly Rumper
  • The Skolly Skumper
  • Chubbs

And then there are a few that make no sense whatsoever (usually a name I threatened to ‘name’ Cam before he was born; Wen wielded her veto):

  • Humptiford
  • Chisleworth
  • Littlest Boo
  • Little Nar

I know that more will emerge over the coming years.
