    My sister, Elise’s nickname is “TouTou” — My older daughter Gemma & I used to pick my sister up at the train station every evening and baby Gemma identifed the person we were picking up with the “choo choo” she was riding on and it all evolved/morphed into TouTou.

    Hello Angela,
    I have more names that ever now. I need to still do quite a bit of research on how they earned theses names. I work out of the country and cannot give more time to this. I would love to put in more effort of the “how” part of this. If you would like ot give me a call: 978-335-0755 Thank you. RoseAnne
