BB, Bibi, Beebee, B-B, Bee Bee

I call my wife Jooj. It isn't a nickname I came up with. Her nieces, at a very young age, gave it to her. It was Juj or Juju. I spell it Jooj 'cause it looks like a funny name that way. I like the Engrish language. It's funny. And Jooj looks funny.

She calls me "B B". And I like it. But up until this moment, I had never thought how one would spell it. BB? Bibi? Beebee? B-B? Bee Bee?

The Engrish language is such a funny thing that the pronunciation of words largely depends on the ethnic origin or Latin root of the word in the first place. In my case, I do not believe such a root exists. I'll have to ask her next time I think to and see how she would spell it.
