GTKY: Nicknames

lurvleybunchococonuts

Haven't seen a GTKY in a bit so let's discuss nicknames!  What funny names do you & your significant other have for one another?  Do you have any for LO yet - what are they & why? Any outside babies/furbaby with nicknames?

My youngest son, Johnny, is called "Kitty". Our oldest was 18 months when his brother was born and always called him that, so it's kind of stuck. Poor guy is going to grow up to be a 6'5" man called Kitty.

This is a fun one! Growing up I had a few nicknames from various family members, including Cinderella, Small Fry, and Casidia (pronounced quesadilla). I call DH Babe and sometimes a shortened version of his name and he calls me the same. Tessie has a few nicknames, including Baby Girl and Nugget. This baby is nicknamed Baby K because our last name starts with a K and we are team green so it seemed appropriate!

I don’t have one for myself or MH. He hates nicknames! He also hates names being shortened, or calling of other names that aren’t your name. He’s weird. And yet somewhere along the way we started calling DD- Munchkin Ma’am. No explanation, we just do lol. Since we’ve decided baby’s name is Stella, I’ve been calling her Stella Bella. My dog, Max, I call
him bubbaganoosh

Oh man! And how could I forget! When I was pregnant with my 2nd son (team green), we called the baby "Johnny" after Johnny Appleseed from the time he was the size of an apple seed. When he was born there was simply no other name that quite fit. So be careful ladies, sometimes those bump nicknames stick!

I had a lot of nicknames growing up. My mom called me Merriweather. In high school they called me Short Sh*t. My brother and sister call me Mae, which is a shortened version of my first name. We call ds Munchy or Bug (short for bugaboo). This babe doesn't have a nickname or a name. #momfail lol.

@tessiesmom26 we call our baby Baby K for those exact reasons

  MH's latest nickname for me is Biscuits because my first official pregnancy brain moment was at the store and I was staring directly at section where the refrigerator biscuits were while exclaiming "wth... where are the biscuits?  Is this store stupid and not carry them?"
M has a ton of nicknames including Beans, Goober, and Kenny.
And LOs latest nickname is Drax the Destroyer (from Guardians of the Galaxy), she been having QUITE the dance parties lately

@firsttimespartanmom That's awesome! Nickname twins!

@lurvleybunchococonuts That's an awesome nickname! We've been watching Infinity War all weekend so it's perfect!

@tessiesmom26 OMG... we FINALLY watched Infinity War yesterday... I love/hated it!

I often call DH by his (our) last name. His first name is Chris and we have about 5 friends also named Chris, so it's just easier to call them all by their last names, sometimes it sticks even when it's just the 2 of us.

We have a million nicknames for our furbabies. Piper is: Pipe, Pretty girl, Peanut, Peanut Butter Jelly time, Peanut Head Face Butt, and creepy (she likes to sit on the stairs and look at us through through the uprights of the bannister...it's kinda creepy). Joker is: Joker Man, Handsome face, Big Baby, Special Boy, and Tubbers. 

We don't really have nicknames for the twins other than Baby A and Baby B and "the twins." We're team green, and everyone seems to think we're actually finding out and not telling them. So, we just stick with the basics so that we don't fuel the "they're not telling us!" fire that burns within our parents.

@tessiesmom26 @firsttimespartanmom When I was pregnant with DD, we called her baby G because our last name is with a G. We don't really have a nn for this baby - poor kid!

DH and I usually call each other "love" like "hey love can you bring me a water" Sometimes he calls me a shortened version of my first name.

I call DD every cutsie term of endearment in the book. I will probably do this until she tells me I'm embarrassing her - honey, squish, sugar, ditty, one that rhymes with her name, silly goose/goosey, littleness/littlest. Just doing my part to uphold stereotypes of southern mamas I guess...

For DD1 we call her Mae (her initials spell it out) or Maeby (short for Mae-baby). We also called her Chicken Nugget in the bump, and DD2 was called Tater Tot. This one seems to be called Frosty more often, which doesn't fit into the theme all that well since you can't get tater tots from Wendy's, but I digress.

Growing up I was called Holly Berry, Holly Hobby, and one friend used to call me Hobbity-bobbity-bee-bah. Some of the kids on my bus in 7th grade weren't used to my name, so they called me Hollis, which is a cultural thing. My husband is known by friends and family as his shortened name, but sometimes I call him by his full name, especially around coworkers.

herewegoagain3rd

DH calls me Louie because my middle name is Louise, I fon't really have one for him because I have never really liked any I came up with but I have called him Thor because he is Norwegian and Blondie because sometimes he is so blonde lol. 

My daughter is Gracie now and when she was younger we called her Savana-urous Rex. And my sisters call her Fidget or Fidg. 

Baby boy was tater tot for awhile but we haven't used that for awhile. My DH said he is going to call him Mad Max, but I don't like that!

pelorunningmama

I call DD Cici, Sugar, Sweetheart, chicken little. DS is chicken strip, his name followed by poodle, and also sugar/sweetheart, etc. He was Buster when I was pregnant with him. People actually believed we were going to name him that. This poor sweet baby has no nicknames. It's hard being team green! 

I call DH pretty much every southern form of adoration nickname that exists. I'm sure it is nauseating. Ha! 

highsteaks

we referred to dd1 as baby hammerhead when i was pregnant. the gist is that dh and i were on vacation where i saw baby hammerhead sharks in a lagoon that were really adorable and i asked dh if i could take one home; dd1 ended up being conceived on said vacation. now i address dd as love, sweetie-pie, or cutie patootie. the twins we just refer to as “the girls.” the dog’s name is link, affectionate nn is linkle-doos, sometimes stinky-linky or stinkle-doos. the cat we call bud or booger-brain depending on what he’s up to. i refer to dh as every drippy lovey-dovey nn, usually in increasing succession depending on how big my request is. in highschool, my nn was “the claw” which long story short was because i was at times officially and sometimes unofficially the boss of the group/club my friends and i were in and i ruled with an iron fist.

eahayes

Fun! My aunts call me bootsie or elibadus (how I said my name when I was a baby!). DH calls me Dear, and I usually call him Babe. No nicknames for the baby yet-- I was calling him Roo Bear in my head at first but that didn't really stick! 

ashkee05

My brothers always called me Ashlee rat battle cat growing up because I was sassy. I grew up with all boys, I had to hold my own. The only adult nickname I’ve had that stuck is loud and Schroud, because again I still am loud and holding my own. My husband is called Nate dogg by literally everyone, but I prefer his full name of Nathan so I always call him that.

My first sons nickname is boo, I just always called him that. my second is theDude, his dad just always calls him the dude so we all do too. This baby has been Spence since we found out we were pregnant because boy or girl the name is Spencer.

offtoneverland

MH and my family call me Lo or Lolo, a shortened version of my first name (Lauren). MH is practically not allowed to call me Lauren anymore because it makes me feel like I got in trouble.   
I call MH "bear." I don't really have any other nicknames for him. I call DD anything under the sun--cutie-patootie, little miss, doodlebug, doodlebear...lol.
We don't have a name yet for this baby, but H calls her all sorts of random girl names just for fun. 

pink_polkadots

My family usually calls me Ash, my oldest brother calls me Ashie. MH always calls me baby or babe, or peaches. I call him baby. Super not exciting As for DD, I call her Loo, Looloo, honey bee and princess. We called her baby grape when I was pregnant with her, even when she was way bigger than a grape. This baby doesn’t have a nickname yet.

cmathes14

MH and I just call each other babe- nothing exciting, DD is a Stella so we like to call her Stellie Belly, or baby Stell. DD has named this baby Doodoo. I'm afraid it may stick after he's born.... HAHA! 

middleschoolmommy

DH and I call each other "B", really shortened form of baby. DS is pickle pants... I honestly don't remember how that one came about. 

josie12367

My DH calls me, "Nen." I just call him babe...We call DD1 "Tootsie." We call DD2 various forms of her name like,  "Jojo" or "Jogi." This baby doesn't have a nickname just yet... it usually takes us a couple of years to get a kiddo a proper NN.

CopperBoom86

My nickname for my husband is Bear. He's 6'4, 300 lbs, with black hair. It fits.

We call our daughter (real name Reagan) Biscuit. No clue why, just happened one day and it stuck.

This baby doesn't have a name yet, so his nickname for now is "little-no-name."

mrsdrez

People call me Dre or Ange, short for Andrea. My friends from high school call me "Gin" which is kind of a long story (but GTKY right?). My best friend in high school started calling me Gina, pronounced like va-Gina, like in 40-year-old Virgin.. I was mortified by this and insisted he not call me that so he translated it to French va-Gin and much to my chagrin - it stuck. 
My husband and I call each other "snugglebutt' or "snugs" for short, usually just in the privacy of our home, but recently we've both let it slip in public.. oops. 
The baby's nickname is "Mookie".. which is another long story that I'll save for another day haha. 

mamachameleon

@ashkee05 kinda stoked to see another Ashley/iegh/ie/ee spelled with 2 e's! Im Ashlee as well! 

OH calls me babe or Ash. I hate pet names. Lol most i call him is babe. His nieces and nephews call him uncle pooper lol and his friends call him groves/grovesy or mugsy. My mom called me squirt or skeeziks. Grandma called me pinky. 
My pets are often not so nice names lol but the horse is Fancy girl, or grumpy. The miniature horse is lil boy or baby moose. The cat I mostly call kitten lol even though her name is Zahra is shes definitely not a kitten anymore! Baby boy does not really have any nicknames yet! Im sure once hes born and leaving hismark on the world he will earn some pretty quick!
