My older cousins have always called me AmandaPanda, Panderoo, Panderbeth (Beth being my middle name), Manderbeth ... there are a million nicknames. There are some other really weird family nicknames that are just too complicated to explain here, so I'll skip them. One cute thing is that for my whole life, whenever my dad calls me ManderBeth, I call him DaddyBeth. We are silly like that. I tried to shake Panda in my teens, but then when my cousins had babies and they started calling me Auntie Panda, well, it became the cutest thing ever so I liked it again. My dad has called me Pumpkin or Bethiepoo forever (not so dignified for a lawyer-to-be!), and my mom doesn't really call me any nicknames besides sweetie. My brothers call me Panda, or Manda, or sometimes just by random names (they are fond of Jamal, and we don't know why). My bf usually calles me babe or sweetie, but sometimes calles me Mandabear (Like pandabear) when he is being cute. Well he's always cute, in my opinion . 
I've noticed lately that I so rarely hear my own name -- how often do you and your family / friends address each other by name? I usually just start talking and assume the person realizes I'm addressing them. Anyway sometimes it's so nice to hear someone I love speak my name. Don't know why, I just like it, like a song ...
