A friend of mine had a status the other day about the silly nicknames she uses for her kid. She said her son hears and answers to Booger Butt more than his actual name. I've found myself picking up this habit more and more too. Elizabeth is most often Stinker Belle Elle but we also use Stinker and Tink Tink. Why? I have no clue but we can't be alone.
So, what super random, possibly weird name do you call your kid(s)?

Re: Silly Names
My dad's cousins still call me NeeNee from when my younger brother couldnt say Cortney when he was a toddler. That's been a nickname that has stuck for 30 years.
the most I call him "Little Baby" when I'm trying to calm him down.
MH sings this made up song to him constantly ... I can't even describe the tune but the words are "Lucas, Bucas, whatcha gonna do with your mucus?" :-) so random and weird but we sing it constantly!
DH calls him 'springkaan' so GRASSHOPPER. Apparently his legs is like a grasshopper's but I don't know why.
And I call him Apie (MONKEY) or Hasie (BUNNY). He clings like a monkey but make noises like a bunny, or what I think a bunny sounds like anyways .
DH calls him "little man" most often.
DS1 gets referred to often as handsome, wild man, sweetheart, smarty, and cuddle monster.
And @Jparke2 my D will never know her actual name because we don't use it enough. I'm hoping daycare helps her recognize it because that's the only place where she'll be just Elizabeth

Dh calls her Buddy which I don't like because it sounds like a boys nn to me.
During fussy times she is Fussy Buttons.
Edited to add that I use Gooby and BabyBaby a lot when she's being fussy or high maintenance.
we call her "Shrimp" a lot because of the pregnancy calendar. For some reason it made us crack up and so it stuck since pregnancy.
When I'm talking to her, I call her "bambina" and "LaLa" because that's the sound she makes when she cries. It's adorable. And "Fuss Butt" when she's cranky
DH just calls her "Alex", her true nickname, or "Sweetheart". We're not very creative over here haha!
Her name is Alessandra and I have yet to call her by that. I don't know why, it just doesn't fit her yet
Pippa is pippers, ms. pippers, pippers girl, mippers, mippy.
Alfred is Alfie, Alfonso, Alfie boy, sir shits-a-lot.
