Handbags, Books...Whatever - Finding a New Name #grandmaname #MFRWauthor #cozymysteries #babynames

Over my lifetime, I've had several names. I was born Vicki Lea Means. 


In grade school, there was at least three of us with the same name (along with Debbie, Susan, Kathy...) - Vickie, Vikki, Vickey. 

When demanding my attention, my mother yelled, "Vicki Lea." Sort of a Southern scary Mom thing. 

Along the way, I picked up the nickname Ugly. And sometimes, my sister (who is also an Ugly) calls me Ug. 

My after college roomie called me Vicks. That's right--like in Vapo Rub. She still calls me this and I've always liked it.

I married Handsome and became Vicki Lea Batman. We had two sons and they call me Mom.

Now, I have to find a new name as #1son and his wife are expecting! 





I'm not a Glamma, Grandma, Meemaw, Mimi, Jamma, Grandmother, Gig--you know there are oodles of variations out there. So I finally landed on VB. 

Some people say the grandkids will name you. Yah, not into anyone naming me. Besides, my mom was called Nanny because she wanted to be and my sons called her that. 

VB. It's different. How does that name sound to you?
