Fleur knows her name. She will correct you if she catches a nickname she doesn’t accept, then she responds, “I’m not <name>, I’m Fleur!”
On the other hand, I am rather proud at the wide variety of affections we have for her.
- Little Miss (Can’t Be Wrong)
- Little Stinker [1]
- Baby [2][3]
- Sweetheart
- Fleur Darling

[1] Often used after she toots
[2] She now tells me, “I am not a baby! I am a Mama. This is a baby,” and shows me one of her dolls.
[3] My go-to when she is doing something and I want her attention
But, the best set, I think are the behavioral descendant ones. When she exhibits behavior we think clearly reminiscent of a specific ancestor, then I like using them.
- MJ, aka Momma Junior
- DJ, aka Daddy Junior
- GS, aka Galahad’s Sister
- C4, aka my maternal grandmother’s great-grandchild
- S3, aka my father
These are the ones to which she will most strongly object. So, naturally, I often use them when I want to take umbrage.
She seems to have stopped calling me Honey. And she recently master our names.
