Pickle no longer

I'm not sure why Pickle is called Pickle, I can't remember when it started but he's been Pickle for as long as I can remember.  I'm not sure we can stop but I think we may have to try...

"Mummy, I don't want you to call me Pickle any more"
"Why not darling?"
"I don't want to be called something which is a type of food". 

Fair enough.  And I'm trying Pickle, I really am (with the exception of this blog).  But bear with me because it's quite hard to stop.
