I'm the youngest and only girl of 4. My dad wasn't quite sure how to react to a girl and started calling me Ralph as an infant. My mom had to come to my preschool class b/c I wouldn't respond to Nikki and told my teacher to call me Ralph. Friends of my parents STILL call me that, even though my dad quit doing it years ago (I'm now Bear b/c I'm so NOT a morning person).
Other stupid family nicknames: Bug (short for ladybug) and Bocker (like as in knickerbocker). I was also Little Harter, or Little _______ (insert one of my brother's first names).
