Nicknames


Here's what we've got so far (usually with a "little" in front):

- Seamie (pronounced "Shamie", of course ... I wonder what the Gaelic diminutive would be)
- Shamu
- Shame-shame (Scott and Sarah should get a chuckle out of this one)
- Monkey-monk
- Frog legs
- Snorgler
- Snorcher (these last two refer to the funny snorting noise that he makes)
- Truffle pig (this refers to the adorable, open-mouthed, head-turning "rooting"---in combo with the snorching noise---that he does when he's hungry and looking for food)

While looking for a truffle pig image, I found this really cool chocolate-manufacturer website. ... wait for the eyes to show up, then use the magic wand!

(and, um ... if any of you happen to be close to any of their retail locations ... and you happen to want to get us something ...)

I'm partial to "Jamie" which sounds so much better than "Shamie" imho. I also like Mac (for the McCune part).

I know you're partial to Jamie -- you tried to name me Jamie.

I don't much care for Jamie on its own, but I do like it with "Mac". Oo, oo, oo, Jamie Mac, when are you comin' back ...

Personally, my children were affectionately referred to as 'Milkbreath' and 'Boob Boy' at this stage in their careers...

How about "Snorgler McBlau" ? Sounds kind of like a private eye...

I checked out what Seamus Blau would be in Hobbit, at the Hobbit Name Generator (Yes, there really is such a thing. It's right next to the Elvish Name Generator) and it comes out to be Longo Boffin of Needlehole.
Really!

LOVE LOVE LOVE
Nik's "Snorgler McBlau" !!!
Sounds kind of like the nickname that Carol had for Greta as a child... Gertrude McFuss

OK, I'm down with the "Mc" thing, since he's McCune already: how about McCute? Or one could shorten it to just "Mac" .....
