Help[Opinions] Re: Nicknames
in reply to a message by Joan-Ay
Oh that is so exciting! I already have an Aunt name picked out for myself when/if Sarah has kids - they will all call me Auntie Em.
I think being called an Aunt would be awesome. My mom's friend Susan has always been Aunt Susan to us, and until recently I always kind of thought we were distant relatives. I think the Aunt makes us quite close.
I think that whatever the kid starts calling you will be fine and you will love it and find it very endearing - although I do endorse Aunt, Aunt Nonie would be so cute - but would like to throw Jojo and Jono out there. Jono might be very hard to say actually, harder than Joanie, but it is a workable nickname IMO. (Although I must admit I hate it. Grace has a friend named Jonathan who is always called Jono prn JOHN-oh, and every time she says "me an' Jono" I a. correct her grammar b. make fun of Jono's name.)
