Twin nick names?

When Jordan and Madison were learning to talk they called each other
"Dordan"
and "Ma-ison." Then for some reason they started calling each other
"Ju-Ju"
(or "Baby Ju-Ju") and "Maa-Maa" for many months (probably close to a
year).
Then they started calling each other by their names, Jordan and Madison.
Now
Madison always says "Jordan", but Jordan will often call Madison
"Maa-Maa".
She probably uses "Madison" and "Maa-Maa" equally. Do your twins have
nick
names for each other? I'm wondering if this is a 'twin thing' or is it
something that all siblings do?

My girls know each others names. If someone asks what they're names are,
both will say Lauren and then both will say Madison (although it's like you
say, Wawen and Ma-ison) but they refuse to use those names when addressing
each other, they will only call each other Sissy. When I try to correct
them I get "no, that's SISSY!!" LOL!!

I don't recall how long ago it happened, but Derek started calling
Mariel "Mariel-Mah". So far, the name has stuck. Also, my wife is
"Mommy-Mah" and I'm "Daddy-Dah". Those names don't get used nearly as
often, though. For some reason, Derek won't let us call him
"Derek-Dah".

When our boys were born, we called Timothy "Trout" and Cameron was "Sprout".
But that was just us using those names.
When the boys started talking, they used "Tiddy" and "Daaaaamon" until they
could pronounce the names properly. Then for a while T was "Timoty" with a
very endearing Caribbean lilt (their babysitter is from Trinidad!). Now they
can say their names perfectly. Once in a while DH will use "Tiddy" or
"Daaamon" but he is quickly corrected by the son in question!

Our next-door-neighbour's name is Sharon, but she has been called "Tim"
since childhood since this is what one of her brothers called her. Her DH is
Tom. When we were expecting the boys, "Thomas" was on our short list of
names, so Tom kept strutting around saying "they're going to name one of the
boys after me!". Well, we came home from the hospital and had to carefully
explain that we *did* name one of our children after one of them, just not
the way they had expected. Of course Tim was so pleased! LOL

Anyway, what I find amazing is our (the parent's) ability to come up
with nicknames for our kids.

You're right! Before we left the hospital we had about 5 nick names for each
of them! Most of the nick names have changed or been dropped over the years,
but a few have lasted.

The nicknames that I use for our kids aren't very imaginative, but
they haven't changed in 4 years:

"Good Boy" for our son;

"Sweetie" for our daughter. Sometimes this expands to "Sweetie-Honey"
or "Sweetie-Cutie", or "Sweetie-Cutie-Honey-Girl".

When the babies were small, we started calling them brother and sister--Like
"look at brother" or "doesn't sister look pretty." Now they are 19 months
and often refer to each other as brother and sister.
