Using my first name

Just wanted to run this by someone to see if this is normal or not. My DD has always called me Ed-dad. It's a name she came up with all on her own and not something we encouraged or promoted. I thought it was cute and very smart that she picked up on my DW calling me "Ed" and me referring to myself as "Dad" and put them together as Ed-dad. For a long time she thought all Daddies were "Ed-dads" but now has made the distinction that Daddie is a title/description and that "Ed-dad" is a name.

Now for the issue that's come up. In the last couple of days she has started calling me just "Ed". When I remind her that I am Ed-dad, she responds "Yes, right. You're not Ed, you're Ed-dad" and then 2 seconds later she calls me "Ed" again. She doesn't call my DW by her first name even though she does know what her first name is. I'm kind of stumped on this one.
