When it comes to nicknames, my mom doesn't so much concern herself with the cleverness or quality of the nickname, but rather the quantity. She is quite prolific.
A good portion of the time, my mom just spews out a new nickname that no one's ever heard before, yet somehow we always know who she's talking to. Typically anything that starts with a B, G, H and M is a nickname for my sister, and anything that starts with a B, D, F, P, S, T and W is a nickname for my brother. Even though my brother and sister both share the letter B we can almost always distininguish which nickname belongs to who.
Anyways, for your reading pleasures here is a condensed (yes condensed) summary of the more common names we hear around my house:
Little Brother | Little Sister | Me | My Father |
Baboon | Boger | Devil Chil' | Ol' man |
Baboonski | Boger Noger | Tud | |
Bean Counting Ben | Buji | ||

I think it's worth noting the uneven distribution of nicknames across family members. I have a theory that the number of nicknames you have is in direct correlation with how much my mom loves you. Further study is required...
