There's a small tradition in the Poptart family of giving nicknames. Often the names are random and unrelated to the persons real name, sometimes the names are made up and sometimes the names reflect on the personality of the person.
In the Tart whanau we have:
Fish/Fisher
Goose
Stocky
Chewie/Chewbacca
Wilbur
Fadah
Humphrey
Pudding
Doob
Sebastian
Mona
Lucy Loo
Bomb
Pucey
Flea
Libster
Ten points if you guess my nickname, 50 points if you guess both my nicknames! LOL
My youngest nephew, Mr 2 1/2 has been given the moniker "Bloke". The reason?
He keeps going around and telling everyone that he is one!
"I'm a real bloke, aye Papa?"
"Look at me, I'm a bloke!".
So, Bloke it is.
We'd better be careful, nicknames in our family stick (Doob for example, has been called that since he was 6 months old, he's now 21 and even my Nana calls him Doob. No one calls him by his real name LOL).
