My real name is my user name Carole and I really have never had a nick-name, kinda hard with my name, glad it cannot be shortened, one guy at work used to call me Kaz , I quite liked it, so use it for my email address.

My daughter is also a Melissa, we call her lissy lou,lissybob,and her friends have nick-named her Melz.,but my fav name for both my kids are snuggle pops and poppy bear, no idea where they came from, but mainly we used them when they were little.
