Lily and Anna rarely call Nora by her name. Instead, it’s always
nicknames, with lots of variety. For a week starting on Thanksgiving
I counted how often they used different terms:
21
Norkit (Anna favorite)
20
Nwetzel (Lily favorite)
16
Norky
9
Cuddleezel
7
Norka
7
Nori
4
Norit
4
Cuddleitz (former favorite)
3
Norweasel
3
Norklet
2
Norkla
2
Cuddlet
Terms I only recorded once: Cuddleez, Cuddlehat, Cuddleoo, NW,
Norahats, Noranoo (former
favorite), Norba, Norcuddly, Norfi, Norfkit, Norflea, Norfo, Norfu,
Norito, Norkakit, Norkaloo, Norkanoo, Norkita, Norkito, Norko,
Norkwinza, Norkwitz, Norquo.
I counted each term once per “session”, where if they said “Norkit
Norkit Notkit” I would still only count that once, while if an hour
later they said “market” again I would give it another tally. Doesn’t
include any sessions where I had my hands full or otherwise wasn’t
able to easily tally.
It took me a while to get around to posting this, during which both
kids, but especially Lily, have started using “Kaia” a lot. Asking
Lily, she says it is “short for Cuddler”.
