Yeah, that's a real nuisance. This is killing me.

An excerpt from The Poo Bomb: True Tales of Parental Terror by Jeff Vogel on nicknames:

No. We have not thought of a nickname for her. Not Delia, or Dee, or Cor, or Lia. Her name is "Cordelia." Just "Cordelia." It is not Welsh or Sanskrit. It is not some weird African language with pops and hissing noises. It is only four lousy syllables long. Is that so hard to say? What are we? G**damn chimpanzees?

Something my wife and I can definitely relate to.
