Whats in my name....

For my very first blog I'd like to explain my name/s. My real name is Rhiannon, yes my father was a Fleetwood Mac fan. From a very young age I developed a family nickname, no-one can actually explain how it came to be, but this nickname has evolved over the years. It began as Tootie (pronounced like soot), there are Aunties and old family friends whom I don't see often who still call me this. Other variations include Toots, Toot and Tooter. For one fateful teenage birthday I received a scooter, written on my card was 'Tooter Hooter rides her scooter', and somehow from that day Hoota was introduced to the mix. Then came Hoots, Hootie and Hoot. I've since embraced my nickname although it is still only really used by family and family friends, but never my friends, it sounds really bizarre coming from them. So Hoot is not referring to me yelling like a bogan or a huge nose or boobs, sorry boys.
