Nicknames come naturally to me.  They evolve over time, and I have one for almost everyone I know.
In the evolution of Pippi’s name…I have unintentionally come to “Doo Dah”.  In part, the story goes like this:
When I was young, my dad used to wake us up every Saturday morning to do our work, by whistling or singing “Zippity Doo Dah”. Because of that, I have always liked the song, and have in turn, started singing it to my kids (I can’t whistle).  But as I started to sing it one day, I started singing “Pippity Doo Dah…..Pippity A…”
And now, as nicknames go, I have abbreviated the whole thing to call my little girl Doo Dah.
And the rest is history.
