DH and I are HUGE Mad Men fans. In Season 2 one of the characters abandons his dog Chauncy on Madison Avenue. Well DH and I always thought Chauncy was a hilarious name, so we joked that we'd name the baby Chauncy. Even before we were KU. So now we always refer to the baby as "Chauncy" as in "Chauncy is making me all gassy" or "When Chauncy comes..."
Also - we saw this Oscar nominated Short about a musician who says "Chimay" instead of Abracadabra. So "Chimay" is our other code word for the baby.
We are not finding out the sex, so this kid will be "Chauncy" or "Chimay" til it pops out.
Anyone else have a funny name?
Re: Poll: Your Funny Nickname for your LO
Meatwad (from Aqua Teen Hunger Force) Tom made it up and said its because 1) "thats what it is!" 2) "its funny!"
We are even more boring. We call him/her "baby"
Dx MTHFR (C677T & A1298C, Compound Heterozygous)
We called it "the grape" sometimes.
A friend of mine saw a segment on some Chinese athlete named Ping Ping and her husband was freaking out about the name. So she said when she gets KU hers will be "Ping Ping" and she said he's threatening to name their actual kid that- ha.
I love it! Does anyone watch the show V? When I learned about the tail thats what I thought of:)
"They call him flipper, flipper, faster than lightning...."

Zombaby. She's been Zombaby since day 1.
Which makes things like explaining baby brain and food cravings a lot of fun. "Zombaby ate my braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain" "Zombaby wants Chineeeeeeeeeeeese!"

I am too! It started a couple years ago with a trip to the tropics- we started collecting turtle figurines everywhere we went. Then, after being diagnosed with infertility DH got me a beautiful sapphire turtle necklace saying that he learned that turtles are the symbol of hope in fertility. I wear it everyday.

DH calls it Zyphoid...in the early stages I read to him out of WTEWYE that our baby is now a Zygote. A few days later he forgot the word and asked me how his Zyphoid was doing...I thought it was cute!
DH and I both have first names that start with J, so we've been referring to the baby as Little J. Totally boring, I know. Maybe we'll come up with something better as time goes on.
Sweetums.
After the muppet baby monster drummer. To be fair, we had just seen the Muppet Baby Bohemian Rhapsody video on youtube and were slightly obsessed with it.
It's kinda cute too.
We've been calling our LO Seamus.
We actually joked before we were pregnant that this is what we'd name a boy if we ever had one. While we kind of like the name we knew it would drive my mother insane so it stuck. She just can't handle it- it's "too wierd" for her.
we call our's Lil' Robo -- after the nickname for our last name.
