What Are You Nicknaming The Baby?

KristaU831

Dd was Cletus until we knew she was a girl. Cletus is a joke with me and my best friend from high school.
We don't have a nickname yet for this one.

My husband and I call our baby Peanut and will probably be the baby's nickname even after we find out the gender.

I've been calling my baby 'Apple' lately or 'my little apple' when used in a sentence I dont plan for that to be their name but it has stuck for now

First time mama and new to EVERYTHING. Didn't even think to nickname the baby before its born but Junebug is sweet and I also like the weekly fruit idea. Like right now ours is a sweet pea. This is so fun

My husband LOVES houmous so we've nicknamed the baby "Chickpea"

Nicknames aren't mandatory...fairly certain our ancestors probably didn't concern themselves with such ideas.  We didn't have a nickname for my daughter when I was pregnant with her, probably because by the time it sunk in that a baby was coming, I was showing.

With DD, we called her fetus, haha. A friend of mine called her's spawn.

But, another friend of mine called her one son Bean and the next Sprout

Since this is one of the few items my DH has taken interest to, we have named it "Pat" for the time being. We are Team Green and in the 80's/90's there was this movie called It's Pat where you never knew if Pat was a boy or a girl so the name seems fitting for now. My BIL is named Pat but so far he's not offended!

We jokingly said we were going to name the baby Rambo and somehow it has stuck! So at least for the time being it is known as baby Rambo

I am not a big nicknamer, although I think i was calling my son sweetpea before he was born. After reading this thread, maybe I will steal the popular 'june bug' from you guys. It's cute. Also, I think we know what our facebook group name will be (whenever that gets started)...

I've been calling ours 'nugget.' I'm sure that'll change when we find out the gender.

tally727

We call it "buns".

TonyaCody06

@tally727 I've been thinking about "bun" since bun in the oven is how I told DH

manda42

@tonyacody06 then you will have peanut, butter, and jelly.... on a bun! 

TonyaCody06

@manda42 I'm cracking up!

carebear939

We have been calling it Cupcake because I conceived on my birthday

AshB11

B4 lol. We already have 3 little ones with names that start with the letter B;)

Love how creative everyone is! Little One is ours right now...I'm sure more will find their way into our vocab as we go along and can tell more people. We do sometimes use the fruit for that week... Little Appleseed or sweet pea.

Pipsqueek. Pip for short.

We have been calling the baby "lil June bug". I found a maternity shirt that has a lady bug on it with the words.....expecting a lil June bug! We love it!

So many cute names! DH and I have nicknamed baby Rowdy, as we hope it's healthy, happy and rowdy )

Usually when I'm pregnant we just call it my tumor, but thanks to some awesome ladies (namely @mermaidsmagic ) it's now been dubbed Robotnik. That's right.  THIS is what my baby looks like:

My husband has been calling him/her either FireFly or Little Red Bird (we are STL cardinal fans!).

We haven't said much of anything honestly and probably won't until after the ultrasound Thursday. After that I guess we need to come up with something. I think those of us with losses try to not get too excited too early. Sad but true.

I agree... I haven't gave this one a no yet. After a MMC in July I want to wait until after the first ultrasound which is nov 18. At 10 weeks so far away.

DS1 was 'the child' since we were team green. We also used the fruit nicknames for a while, but that lost the appeal after the first few weeks. 

This one, Baby Bun, as in bun in the oven... but that will likely change.

We've been saying it or little dee/baby dee. (Our last name starts with D.) I had a friend tell me a few days ago that I can't name little dee Diesel because she thinks its horrible* so now she's calling it Diesel as a joke.

*No offense to those that like the name or have used it already. Just not our style.
