Andrea Barber and Candace Cameron as Kimmy Gibbler and DJ Tanner"I don't know. If they don't, they do now," Barber replied. "That we literally call each other that every time we see each other."
"Every time we see each other," Cameron Bure confirmed, then explaining how their friendly tradition was noticed by a fellow '90s actor during their appearance at 90s Con.
"Jaleel White, who, of course, played Urkel, was there and...he stopped in his tracks and he was like, 'Whoa, what? Did you, for real, just call each other your character names?' "
She added, "It was weird to him but not to us."

Bure, 48, said, "I think that D.J. and Steve are together, raising her kids and just living their best karaoke life."
Barber, also 48, says D.J.'s eccentric BFF Kimmy would be "an empty-nester." With her daughter Ramona in college now, she'd be "knitting with cats."
"And you have a nest full of ostrich eggs," joked Coulier, 65.
