cagoldi - I also like Persephone Adele/ Poppy Adele. It has a similar Belle sound but isn't as "cutesey" But I agree with what others say, how often would you call her first nickname and middle name together. Funny, come to think of it, I call S his first name nickname with his middle name all the time (I think it flows nicely), but when I use B's middle name, I always use his full first name. Weird.

At least 3 times a day. And Jackson is getting it a lot now too. But he loves his middle name so he just gets excited and it does nothing..

trtlcrzy I do it when I am scolding, but also, S middle name rhymes with Dooper so we often call him Super Dooper Samuel Middle Name. When I'm scolding, I often call him Sam Middle Name I also sing a song to Ben that I've been singing since he was born that is basically just his full name to the tune of Eldevies (sp?)

I call my kids by their first middle a lot too. H thinks S’s middle name is grapes (it’s really grace) so I call her S Grapes now.

I have the same middle name as my mom and gave the same middle name to Maddie. Cass has been feeling left out about that lately and calls herself "Cassidy (Maddie's mn)." I've tried explaining the significance of her mn to her but she doesn't really care at this point. Sometimes I call the girls shortened nickname middle name.

I’ve found myself using C’s fn and mn to reprimand him. I don’t think I ever do for B though. Prolly bc she is my goody-goody and I don’t need to.

I use Cadence's full name when she is in trouble and she apparently now uses my full name when she is trying to reprimand me. My full name being "Mommy Elizabeth". When I pick her up from school she calls me "Katie Baby"....idk...my kid is a sassypants.

I use their full names all the time, they each have two middle names so it’s definitely attention grabbing.
It’s also a running joke in the house to add in middle names to make their names even longer, general theme is what phase they’re in.
For example: Julia mn mn no sleep ever last name Julia mn mn babbling rockstar last name
Bennett mn mn bandit last name Bennett mn mn cheesy noodles last name

I don't think I've ever used my kids middle names. Me neither. When she was very little, we had a song that we used to sing to her, but I don't think I've ever said it to her, especially recently.

My niece is Lucy and we call her Lu bear also! This has nothing to do with anything but there was a kid on Carter’s tee-ball team named Lazer. That was his REAL name. Not a nn.

MH said Molly just reminds him of the drug, so that's out.

DH loves Molly. I have a bitchy co worker with that name though. I like Mallory but he claims he's never heard it?

My older sister (who is 4 years older than me) has a good friend by that name and my little sister (2 years younger) does too. One of the girls on my other BMB actually named her F16 baby that.

C has a Mallory in his class. Funny he's never heard it before!
