Cooper By Any Other Name

If you know Cooper's dad Patrick or Patrick's brothers and friends from New York and Colorado you know that it's impossible for any of them to actually call some one by there given name. EVERYONE has a nickname. Patrick is Cheese or Pappy depending on which coast you are on, Uncle John is Sweet Lou, Uncle Billy is the Finch and Uncle Steve is H or Cheeks. Cooper's cousin Olvia is often called the Bean. Patrick's friends go by Slug (Dave), Beef (Jed), Green (Pam), Mon (Josh) and Billy. Billy may not seem like a strange nickname until you find out that Billy's real name is Mike...don't ask, I have no idea.

So, it should come as no surprise that at only 10 weeks of age Cooper has the following list of nicknames...
Coop-a-loop (okay, I gave him this one)
Chupa Chup (this is a Spanish sucker brand and sponsor of a Moto GP rider)
Big Man
Little Man
Little Big Man
LBM (which stands for Little Big Man)
Joby (I think it's some hockey player, I try not to ask too many questions)
Bud Bud
Quato (this is some ugly creature from the movie Total Recall. Why would you call your son that?)

Poor Cooper.

  2. Boys are so funny sometimes. I think it's in their genes to have nicknames.
