The Cam nickname game
May.27, 2007 in
Adoption

In this post I mentioned a few nicknames that I was excited to call Cameron. The other night in the car, Aimee and I had a Cam nickname contest. The rules were that we would go back and forth, taking turns coming up with a legitimate nickname that would would call Cam to his face. Here’s as much of that list as I could remember:
- Cam
- CamDog
- CJ
- Camelot
- Camma-ramma-ding-dong
- Camo
- Camouflage
- Cambo (rhymes with Rambo)
- Cam and eggs
- Camburger
- Camburglar (like the Hamburglar from McDonalds)
- Camsup (this one is Aim’s. It’s suppose to sound like catsup. I think she lost the contest with this entry.)
- Camaro
- Camtron (playing off the Scantron tests I used to take in high school)
- TransCam (like a Trans Am)
- C$ (the Windows administrative share)
- C! (thank you Jill!)
- Chameleon
- C-Diddles
- Chamomile

Did we leave any good ones out? I specifically wanted some movie words/characters/references if possible, but can’t think of any!

Bri,
You forgot a few. I went out to one of my favorite sites (http://www.playerappreciate.com/pimphandle.asp) and typed in Cameron’s name. The site may not be totally appropriate (considering it deals with pimp names), but some of the names it creates are hilarious. I was wondering when bookmarking this site would come in handy. Now I know.
- Sir Cameron Esquire the Third
- Silver Tounge C. Slim
- Crazy Eyes C. Loco
- Golder Brown Johnson Dazzle
- C. Magical Johnson Slither

Yes, but that’s SIR B. Magical Johnson Slither to you, and Big Daddy B. Magical Johnson to Cam.
