I Suppose I Need a Name for My Brother

Mommy and Daddy are a little disappointed that I still don't have a name for my brother even though I have names for three of the five Backyardigans. To that I say, "The Backyardigans have never wrestled me to the ground and yelled, 'You're yucky!' "

But Meyer is my brother, regardless of how many times he squirts me in the face with soapy water, so I should probably come up with something to call him. Here's what I've got:

Meymi


It's pronounced MIGH-mee. Think of the words my and me combined into one word.

Naturally, this will cause people problems. "Meymi" is one vowel sound away from being "Mommy" or "Mimi." And, since I'm not quite two years old, I have trouble pronouncing vowel sounds clearly. Sorry, you'll just have to rely on context clues.
