The Naming of Babies

[gaudior]

So, I've heard that as a six-month-old, Fox (not their IRL name) should recognize their name. The difficulty with this is: here are the things that we call our baby:

Cub
Little Cub
Little Cubling
Little Cublet
Smol
Smol One
Little Smol
Babling
Bab
Little Fox
Little Sea-Eyed Fox
Little Ocean-Eyed Fox
Littling
Bablet
Babe-i-let
Se-basu-chan
Se-babe-stian
Kiddo
Kidlet
Kid
Hey, there.

So, they are basically doomed.

OTOH, they don't know my name either, as I don't go around referring to myself as "Mommy" in the third person, and everyone else calls me by my given name. They are making a valiant effort at naming rushthatspeaks as "Dadadadadadada," so we'll go with that.

(Oh, and, because I haven't posted in basically ever: does anyone not want to see kid posts? Should I set up a filter?)

I wish kid posts. Filterage unnecessary.
