For some reason, members of our family have a plethora of nicknames. I'm pretty sure that most of them are brought to you by Kathryn, who can't seem to call people by their real names. So, I thought it would be helpful to give you all a primer on the names in our family:
David: Deeds, D, DD, Pums, Pidge (for pidgeon, as in "Whatsa mattah pidge?"), DB (Tropical Breeze only)
Kathryn: K, Kate, Katie Lou (only for those expecting a punch), KB (again, Tropical Breeze only), Big Blue, Mrs. Bouvier, Bouves (or sometimes, Boobs)
Emily: Em, Emmie, Gem, Gemmie, Gemelina, The Jeet, Jeetsie, Em-Jeet, Brown-eyed girl, Big Brown, Gemelo, Bubble
Rebecca: Becca, Becs, Bean, Beanie, Beanbag, Blue-eyed girl, The Middle-est, Little Blue, Rebs, Rebsie, Becca-boo-bo, Eloise, Princess Eloise, Julia, Princess Julia (those last ones are self-named), Rebroccoli
Eve: Evie, Believe-y, Believes, Little Badness, Little Brown, Eves
And, for extended family members:
Georgina: Gina, Geenz, Jammy, Jamzinger, Geenz-Jammy, Francine, Jorgehina (said with a spanish accent).
Matthew: Faffu, Faffs, Le Faff
Suzie: Suze, Booze, Blues, Blues Clues, Boozy, Floozy, Boggus
Adam: Ponyboy, Jesus
Chris: Wristy (I think Kathryn's the only one that calls him this), Cheese
Janet: Juanita, Juanny, Nanny noona, Nick nacky noona, Nanny Juanny
Bill: Mr. Dressup, Gorbachev
James: Gorbachev (long story)
Janine: J9, Martha (maybe?)
Colleen: Hmm - I don't have one, other than Coh-leen

I actually laughed out loud at Jesus! And you forgot Boozehound for Suzie, and Homestar for Chris. Also, it's spelled Risty - the W is unnecessary.
Also also, I heard Kathryn call Rebecca "Brocc" as in short for broccoli, and Becca answered. Your kids are doomed.
