What’s the story behind your nickname?
Uhhh, I don’t have a nickname. But, my dad used to call me Lischen (pronounced Leesyen). It’s German for Little Lisa. Lisa is what the L stands for in L. M. Montes. My dad is from Germany 🇩🇪 and immigrated here to the USA in the late 50’s.
My husband calls me babe. There really isn’t a story with that one. It’s just what he’s always called me.
When I was a kid, my male cousin of the same age called me Pizza because my name rhymes with it, and we both liked pizza 🍕.
