Nicknames

I have been named after a tree for no reason other than the fact that Tamika has a sister who's english name is Tania (or Tanya?) and her Inuk name is Napaqtuk.  So I guess  I am named after Tamika's sister (I hope to meet her someday!).  Brian also has a nickname:  Judy.  You did read correctly.  Judy.  I howl when they call him this.  You see the first day Brian met them he teased them by pretending to forget their names and he called one of them "Judy".  Well, then I told the girls that they had to find a way to tease Brian back.  So they came up with calling him "Judy" except that the name has stuck and now that's all they call him...  Serves him right!
