The many names of Ezri Beatrice

While we love Ezri’s name, we do call her by other monikers.
When we chose Ezri, we liked that it was hard to shorten into a nickname.

However, this has not stopped us from calling her other names.  Many of them are rather embarrassing.  So, we should definitely list them lest we forget.

1. Ezri B. Burrito – This one is from when she was very small and swaddled up burrito-style in a receiving blanket.
2. Bina – This one is yiddish for bee and from her Aunt Amy.  There’s a character named Bina in The Yiddish Policeman’s Union which is where I’d heard it.
3. Moopster – A very tiny Charlotte Q. pointed at Ezri’s face and said an emphatic “moop” which meant mouth. And I thought, yep, she’s my moopster.
4. The Moop – shortened Moopster
5. Ezzeroni Pizza – There was a joke that Ezri was made of pizza and ice cream while in utero.
6. Ezri Bean – We’ve known her since she was just bean sized.
7. Rootin’ Tootin’ Ezri – She used to root for a nipple and she tooted sometimes too.
8. Scootin’ Tootin’ Ezri – She stopped rooting and started scooting. She still tooted.
9. Ezri Bee
10. The Baby Girl – in conversation to each other Eric and I will talk about the baby girl. She gets called “baby girl” or “the baby girl” often enough for it to count as a nickname.
11. Lil’ Miss Rumble Pants – I picked up “rumbling pants” as a phrase from the Quigleys add Lil’ Miss and it becomes a nickname.
12. Little e – Eric is the Big E in our family and Ezri is the little e. They share the same initials E.B.B. and e.b.b. respectively.
13. My Sunshine – I sing her you are my sunshine a lot.

And in the photo here I think I would call her Carrot Top.
