UO: The words binky and paci make my skin crawl. MIL calls diapers "pampers" and wipes "wipeys". It makes me want to smack her, not that that's a new feeling or anything.

This. 1000x this. I call it a pacifier. Sometimes we will call it her chill pill. I've also heard people call a bottle a "baba". No. Just no. I just can't stand baby talk. (The baby talk that involves changing a word to make it "cute" or shorter, or using god forsaken bad grammar.)

I picked pacifier, but a lot of people around here call it a nook. (Minnesota)

I wonder if that's a brand name thing?  (The Nuk pacifiers?) kinda like saying Kleenex instead of facial tissue.


I think so.

We say paci. Daycare ladies & nurses call it a "fooler"

I call it a paci most of the time (upstate NY). She has the red dog wubbanub that got nicknamed snuggle puppy after we read the book.

We have the same one, but don't really use it as much anymore. We call ours Clifford!

SS- I used to call it paci then she got a wubbanubb for Christmas so now it's Wubby.

We have a wubbanub and call it Wubby, too. Although she doesn't suck on the paci part.. Just chews on the legs.

Dummy and dodo. My husband calls it dumdum which I love!

My grandma is awesome, but she calls it a nipple, and that drives me nuts.

I usually call it a paci, but will also call it a B.B. or binky when I feel like switching it up

SS - I use binky and paci interchangeably.  Or "monkey" and "giraffe" since those are the two Wubbanubs we're using for the girls at the moment.  - From CT

This. Although our wubbanub is a frog so it's "froggy." Also live in CT.

SS. I called it a paci until DD started calling it a "paba", so that's what we call it now because we thought it was cute she gave it a special name.

Binky or bink in our house. If I were talking to an adult friend or family I would use those terms. If talking to a stranger then I would probably say pacifier.

ETA- I'm from OH and live in NYC

My family has always called it a foo-foo which is also my Papa's nickname for me..  I really loved the pacifier.  DS, on the other hand, does not at all.

To a stranger, I'd say pacifier.  With my husband, I'll either say pacifier or binky, and to my baby I almost always say binky.  Since you asked what I'd call it with another adult I chose pacifier.

Southern California here.

Binky and once in a great while I'll call it his paci.

We used to call it a plug but when my older daughter started saying it sounded like she was saying fuck. It was really awful for like 6 months. I didn't want that to happen again so I'm calling it bink this time.
