What's in a name?

Mia is 8 months old and over that time, she's probably been called by her real name, Amelia, seemingly 3 times. I started thinking about all the different nicknames I have heard her called over that span and it is growing increasingly long, and increasingly inexplicable. Here is the list from the top of my head....and no, these are not approved nicknames, nor are most of them to be perpetuated.

Amelia
Mia
Mookie
Milly
Mimi
Miss Fussypants
Monkey Joe
Mookiepants
Pickle
Mook Mook
Baby
Tootie
Pookie
Mookie Pantalones
Monchichi
Kermit
Babygirl
Poopidoo

So, to summarize, her name is Amelia. I view Mia as the only acceptable nickname. Clearly, nobody gives a damn about what I find acceptable.
