The Initiation Name
There's this game the boys play that they call the Hammy Game. I have no idea what the game entails, except for a lot of shrieking and hysteria.
That describes almost all of their games, actually. So I guess the only notable thing about the Hammy Game is that they all have their own names in it.
Cubby is Daddy. Naturally.
Charlie is Beefy, which if you've ever met skinny Charlie you'll know is hilariously inappropriate. That kid's as far from beefy as he could be.
Jack is Hammy, a name unfortunately bestowed upon him unwittingly by his real Daddy as an admiring statement of Jack's sturdy frame. That nickname stuck and somehow became the Hammy Game.
When Poppy came home from the hospital and all her brothers were clustered around her to admire her (and poke and prod her, of course), Cubby noted her fabulous hair and declared, "When she's old enough to play the Hammy Game with us, we'll call her Miss Fluff."
Watch out, world: Daddy, Beefy, Hammy, and Miss Fluff coming at you in a few short years.
What a crew.

I think that Miss Fluff (which will probably turn into Fluffy) will be appropriate to your boys in many cases. Mary in MN
