In the weeks before Opi came home to us, we (me, my hubby, our son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter & fiance) would toss around names..cute names, fun names, silly names, strange names. One night we're all sitting around and my son-in-law says "she's so tiny, she needs a big name...how about Optimus Prime?" I was "huh? no! she's a little girl!" Well let me tell you, while she was a gift to me from my hubby, and she was my baby..I was completely overruled, out-voted, and I lost..lol. My family went nuts for that name.
no matter what name i came up with or my arguments against the name..i couldn't win. They whole lot of them to to our family & friends and all over facebook people loved her name. I had one request/demand.. that while her official name is Optimus Prime, I wanted it to sound cute, so I came up with Opi, for her initials obviously..both her names are a hit! she does have many nicknames..dopie, dopamine, littlemus prime, the dopester, opidoodles. I will say..she does really act like she's as big as her name sounds.
