I am sure many of you have at least one – if not several – nicknames or pet names for your kids.  In our house it seems new names are always popping up.  Here are just a few that can be heard in the T household.

• Wil-da-beast – This of course is one that Will is called quite often.  He will happily respond to it, too.  There's a modified version that he equally loves – Will-da. 
• Wethan – Will totally got us hooked on calling Nathan this lovely name.  It all started back when W couldn't pronounce "Nathan" and it just sort of stuck.  D and I still on occasion call N "Wethan" but he really doesn't like anyone but Will referring to him as such.
• Willie – D is the only one that refers to Will by this name.  I, personally, can't stand the name.  It reminds me of Wilie Nelson.  Not that I have a personal problem with him it's just I'd prefer not to associate my son with his image!
• Nate Dogg – This name comes from none other than the original Nate Dogg.  I personally could never get enough of Warren G featuring Nate Dogg tunes back in the day!
• Willers – I can't quite remember when I started referring to Will as Willers but I remember thinking it sounded awful but then I just couldn't stop calling him that!  Good thing he doesn't mind it!

There are countless other pet names and nicknames that I often make up for the boys but these are just a few of the most used ones.  What are some of the made-up names the kids in your family have
