My sister's name is Kylie and she is very Athletic and Popular. We usually call her Ky, Ky-Ky, Crylie (when she was a baby she used to cry alot so now whenever she cries we call her Crylie), we also used to call her Boobaloo so often when she was a baby (nicknamed Boob) she thought it was her name and wouldnt answer to anything else, Kylie Bubbles or Just Bubbles!
