Nicknames

I've come up with possibly the most convoluted nickname ever for my child, but being as it's my child in question, said nickname has a perfectly rational basis. Here goes:

• "Avery," by natural progression of human laziness, becomes monosyllabic "Aves."
• I mentally spell "Aves" and recognize it as the Latin name for birds (class Aves).
• Being as this little bird was born in the Netherlands, and being as I actually know the word for "little bird" in Dutch, "Aves" becomes "vogeltje."

So Vogeltje it is, you see.

Dylan thinks that "Monkeybear" is more appropriate since she's a monkey that we dress up as a bear.

We'll see which one wins out.
