Choosing a name for a baby can be very difficult.  Every new parent knows how hard this process can be.
Ellie:  Mommy, dis is my baby and I'm trying to stink of what to call her.
Mommy:  Oh?  Picking a name for a baby can be hard to do.
Ellie:  Yeah but I'm not sure what to call her.
Mommy:  How about Kenna?
Ellie:  No.  I want a pretty name for her.
Mommy:  A pretty name like Brielle?
Ellie:  No.  A really pretty name like for a princess.
Mommy:  Aurora?
Ellie:  No.  Dat's a princess, not a baby.
Mommy:  Elizabeth?
Ellie:  No, dat's not pretty.
Mommy:  Jessica?
Ellie:  No.  Dat's not pretty ee-der.
Mommy:  Oh.
Ellie:  Oh!  I know!  How about Sings-A-Lot?
Mommy:  Singsalot is a pretty name.
Ellie:  Yeah, I like that.
Mommy:  Why did you pick Singsalot?
Ellie:  So dat when she gets bigger and a real princess she can know how to sing.
Mommy:  That makes sense and it is a very pretty name.
Ellie:  No.  I want a REE-AH long pretty name.
Mommy:  Longer than Singsalot?
Ellie:  Oh!  I know!  I will call her Singsalot-Dancealot-Prettyalot.
Mommy:  Wow.  I don't think you could get a prettier name than that.
Ellie:  Yeah and den she will grow up to be a very polite princess and nice to everyone.
Mommy:  Because she has a good name?
Ellie:  Yeah.
Mommy:  You chose well then.
Ellie:  And now I need a nickname for her.
Mommy:  Why?
Ellie:  So dat we can snuggle?
Mommy:  Like you're my "Ellie-Bunny?"
Ellie:  Yeah.
Mommy:  I think a good nickname for Singsalot-Dancealot-Prettyalot might be Sing-Songy.
Ellie:  No.  I like "Ellie."
Mommy:  Like the nickname I have for you?
Ellie:  Yeah, it's pretty.  Can I call my baby Ellie?
Mommy:  Sure. 
Ellie:  No.  Dat's my name, but it's pretty.
Mommy:  How about something that sounds similar?  Like Nellie?
Ellie:  YEAH!!!!  My baby's name is Singsalot-Dancealot-Prettyalot and when I want to snuggle wif her, I will call her Nellie.  Is that a good idea?
Mommy:  Sounds perfect to me.
Ellie:  Whew.  Dat was hard.
Mommy:  Yes it was, but you chose a wonderful name for your baby.
Ellie:  Thank you.
