Recently we've had two funny discussions related to names.
Elizabeth and Mom were talking about her name recently. Mom was practicing with E how to say her first name since it is so long. It sounds like Bizzybeff right now. She says Ellie or Sissy really well though. :) During some of this name talk, Mom asked Elizabeth if she knew her middle name. Elizabeth quickly answered, "Yes, it's Ben!" She wants to be just like Brother! Guess we need to work on full names eventually. Who knows what last name she claims!
Ben was competing yet again (everything is a contest and he strives to be the winner!) and decided he was jealous that Elizabeth was a way longer name than Ben. Mom explained that his full name was really Benjamin and it had nearly the same number of letters as Elizabeth. Mom said, "Your full name is Benjamin and your nickname is Ben." Ben's confused response was, "No, my name is Ben and my nickname is Dino." What? Not sure where that one came from, but apparently Ben thinks nicknames have to be more descriptive or something you like. Guess he gave himself one. We finally agreed that his full name was Benjamin, his everyday name was Ben and his nickname was Dino. Whew!
