Dogs can understand basic sign language, like Makaton - also used on/by children who haven't learnt to speak, and those with special needs. |

My cats - all 3 of them, know their individual names, which, of course have different sounds - they also know their 'pet' names. |

My grandson is Oliver, but I am the only one to use it all the time. Everyone else uses Ollie, which I hate, as it was the name of a rather odious man that I knew. Me? You can call me "Sir" |

When Uncle Arch died the florist asked for his name so they could make sure the flowers went to the right funeral. |

My son-i-l was called "Bud" by his father when he was young, and quite often even now that he is in his 40s. |

I hate my full name "Linda" so I am known by most people by Lynn but I drew the line at my friend one day when she called me Linney |

Lovely to hear Makaton mentioned MaggieW. Remember watching Justin with grandchildren several years ago. |

I agree about Makaton too, JoyLouise. I learned BSL years ago - and have forgotten quite a bit. |

Like all the other Anns/Annes, there isn't very much that can be done to shorten it. |
