Maliya was pretty young when Rachel was born. Too young to be able to pronounce "Rachel." She started calling her "Lala" and that nickname has stuck ever since. Now that Rachel is getting older, she knows her name, but SHE can not pronounce it. She refers to herself using her nickname, but when Rachel says it, it sounds more like "Wuh-wuh." If someone asks her what her name is, sure enough, "Wuh-wuh" is her reply.
One day, we were driving down the street, I said, "Rachel, are you thirsty?".....There was a long pause. Finally, Rachel responded with: "Name's Wuh-wuh."
..."Are you thirsty, Lala?" I asked.
"Yeah." Rachel answered.
...Apparently, she knows what she likes to be called.
