A Spelling Question
A Spelling Question
If you had a child that shared a name with the Queen of the Netherlands and a nickname with a former Prime Minister of Israel, how would you spell that nickname? Would you spell it like the insect, the infinitive form of the verb sometimes conjugated "am," Andy Griffith's Aunt, or as the former Prime Minister of Israel spells it?
Good grief, Jordana, that is some riddle!! It took my sleep-deprived brain a few minute to work it out. But I gotcha now. I choose C.

I suppose "Trixy" is just right out, huh.

Bebe is, well, a foreign word and it risks becoming the less decorous "Babe." I don't think there is much future for a girl-child with that nickname Babe, unless it's in golf.
Beebee and Beabea are just too cumbersome.
No other near possibilities occur to me, but feel free to submit other contenders for my sensible review ;-)
