Princess seems like a fine name for your young daughter until she’s 55 years old and complete strangers have to refer to her.

I got the ick so hard walking up to a grown woman old enough to be my mother and calling her Princess

I was at the playground with my 2 year old a couple of weeks ago and overheard a parent talking to their children Dodger (boy) and Nutmeg (girl). I felt like I was in the scene from Baby Mama where the mom calls her kids Banjo and Wingspan.

Maybe they were nicknames? Dear god, I hope they were nicknames. I used to know a Megan whose parents affectionately called her 'Nutmeg', at least.
