We got our positive beta back on May the 4th, so we've been calling the baby Yoda
We most likely conceived on May 4th and DH is really into Star Wars. (Like we had to watch at least one movie that night and wear a star wars shirt all day) Because of that we bounce around between Yoda and Our Little Storm Trooper.
We change it weekly depending on which fruit or vegetable it is. This week a Prune so it is called Prunella. Sunday we move onto a lemon so we will have to come up with something new.
DH calls the baby Booba or Munchkin. Each morning when I leave for work he tells me "Drive safe, have as good a day as you can and take care of our little "Booba". I won't leave until he says it lol.
I use Munchkin too! DH calls him or her Kiddo! I melt every time he touches or kisses my belly and says, "Hey Kiddo!"
Ours is "belly nugget". Husband really liked the week when it was the size of a pea, so for awhile she was "sweet pea" but now back to belly nugget. We don't know sex yet but I kind of feel like it's a girl. (Wishful thinking?)
I found out I was pregnant the week that it said the baby was the size of a blueberry and the name stuck. Even my mom and husband say it's "blueberry."
We were calling it whatever size fruit it was also but on the u/s, it looked like a teddy graham, so that's what we've been saying now I love the name yoda! We were married on May 4th two years ago and we are pretty sure that's the date we conceived our teddy graham lol
I name it by the week growth chart. It kinda started naturally when I first started researching the development and found out the size I told my husband "OMG we have a poppyseed baby". Then on and on.... "apple seed baby", the "blueberry baby", the "raspberry baby". Right now we've got the "olive baby". The olive baby has brought me so much morning sickness. For some reason I really enjoy picturing it as a fruit or vegetable. Lol.
The only real craving I've had so far is for hot Milo. So bub gets called Milo it's catching on. My brother calls it niechew. Because we don't know if he's going to have a niece or a nephew
We are raspberry too! He tossed the idea of NAMING her raspberry if it's a girl. I said it sounded too much like a girl clowns name. Raspberry the clown.
We use Bam Bam. Totally stole it from a girl I used to work with but she's okay with it. If we find out the sex (not sure yet if we will) we can go with Pebbles if it's a girl or keep using Bam Bam.
I'm thinking with as much bleeding this one is causing, it's going to be Carrie Rex, or just Rex. Morbid, but funny... in a twisted way. Hoping all turns out and I can laugh about it later.
"Fluffy Boots" While we were trying to conceive, I bought a little white pair of booties. When I showed them to Daddy to be, I said "Look! Fluffy boots! I can't wait to put these on some little baby feet!" They sat in my Armour for close to a year. We finally got that positive test and "he's" been "Fluffy Boots" ever since.
Ours is Xe (pronounced zee) which is short for xenomorph, from the movie alien. My husband always said that whenever we get pregnant he's going to call it a xenomorph until it's born because it's a parasite. So it's either Xe or Xenut (to rhyme with peanut). At least until we find out boy or girl, then I'm not sure if we'll change to the real name or not.
We call ours Stormageddon (a la Doctor Who....yeah we're nerds, lol). My husband calls it Stormy when I'm being moody or not feeling well.
Love it! I'm a huge Doctor Who fan too, can't get hubs into it though. Boo.
DH has an almost daily list of terrible baby name suggestions, so our poor kid keeps getting those for names. He keeps calling the baby 'Fergus' and my brother keeps referring to it as some weird Greek mythology sounding name. I just call it baby or nugget.

We have had "Shrimpy" for a while because I was looking at those artists renderings for each week and the early ones look like a shrimp all curled up. Before we were married my husband told me he likes human names for pets. I asked if that meant pet names for humans. For a long time we used to say we were going to name our future baby Mittens. Occassionally Shrimpy is Mittens.
With my first we called him (though we didn't know the sex until birth) "the parasite." I had had a miscarriage previously and it was kinda our way of whistling in the dark b/c we didn't want to get too attached but the name stuck, much to the chagrin of my family who thought it was morbid and weird. This time around was a bit of a surprise and when we told my clueless in-laws about the baby they asked if it was occasion for congratulations or condolences. I got hormonally ragey and threatened to name the baby Condolence Creager. But my best friend countered and is now referring to the baby as Congratulations Creager, and now that my stepdaughter has picked it up, I'm thinking that might stick this go round.
TTC since June 10
First Draft: BFP #1 1/10/11 EDD: 9/24/11 missed m/c: d/c 2/24/11 (8w 2d, baby measured 6w 2d)
Second Draft SAM! born 12/12/12;
New Edition coming out Jan 2016
Our first sonogram looked like the head of Abraham Lincoln haha! Looked like I swallowed a penny, so we've been calling the baby Abe until we find out boy or girl.
We haven't really got a nickname yet, just bubba... But we have a voice for bubba. My SO was jokingly telling bubba off for making mummy sick so I jokingly replied in a voice that scarily sounded like Cartman "ok Dada, I'll be good". So now my SO always says goodnight to bubba as well and I have to say "goodnight dada" in the Cartman voice haha

We decided on baby names 5 years ago so when we find out the sex, we will start using whichever name
This time around we can't decide...
