We are using two names - "prawn" as it looked like a baby prawn all curled up on the 1st ultrasound at 7 weeks and ocelot which is cute as it's a cat But the real reason it's ocelot is because we like Oscar for a boy and Scarlett for a girl & together they make Ocelot well we think it's cute anyway
My sister thought my first ultrasound (for baby #1) looked like either a peanut or a cocktail shrimp, so she started affectionately calling it "peanut shrimp". Stuck until she was born, and then she became "alien baby". My sister's a little eccentric... But it sure gave us a fun name to call baby in-utero!
At the first ultrasound my husband pointed out how baby looked like a little shrimp. Then he laughed and told me we were going to have a little Bubba Gump. My husband and his family love Forrest Gump, so the name stuck.
Ours is unicorn. The doctor was surprised at our pregnancy (overweight, irregular periods with one blocked fallopian tube) she said it was pretty rare and incredible we conceived a healthy baby when I should have had an ectopic or a lot of trouble conceiving. I was explaining to dh how our unicorn pregnancy was described by Dr. And it stuck!
We are both hoping for a boy. My husband was joking around one day and called it skeeter... and it stuck. I think it's funny and we aren't telling everyone still so it's our own little joke
Our first was Sprout. With this baby it keeps changing but after the last ultrasound, it really looked like a Gummy Bear at a Rave. So it's been Raving Gummy Bear or Sprout 2: Electric Boogaloo. Pregnancy has made me seriously loopy but I can't find a name that sticks like the first one did.

Mine is my little chicken nugget! Don't know why that name stuck because at first I was calling it little peanut. I used to love Chicken McNuggets growing up (confession: I still do ) so maybe that's why. B-)
Re: This might sound weird, but have you named your fetus?
Shrimpy =]
When the doctor told me I was 8 weeks I googled what the baby looks like. My husband said a shrimp. From then on Shrimpy has had our hearts!
