Anyone else not like calling it a 'binky'???

OpheliaChem

I know its almost Christmas Eve and I should be thinking about the upcoming weekend, but I had an odd thought so I thought I'd post it :-)

 

I HATE the name 'binky' for a pacifier. Not sure why...perhaps because I'm the type of person who feels the need to do the exact opposite of what is considered the norm. I'm such a rebel :-P

 

Anyone have another name for a pacifier???

casirdms

just paci

I don't like binky, even though that is what my family always called it. I prefer paci.

I don't like binky either. I'll go paci or nook.

I think it sounds stupid. We will probably just call it a pacifier.

Sazhrah

we call it a chupa (spanish word for suck) which i like better than binky.

If I'm not mistaken there is actually a binky brand pacifier which may be where the nickname came from.  A friend called her son's a woobie.

We call it a pinky. When DD2 was little all of her binkys were pink, so when DD1 heard as say "Binky" she thought we were saying "pinky" because of the color. So, in our house, it's a pinky.

With my daughter it was "paci" and it will stay that with this one.  I don't like binky either.

pacifier. I hate binki.

But I'll probably call it a chupeta, which is the Portuguese word for it.

In Australia they call it a "dummy" which is even worse.  I'm hoping to avoid the problem by not using one much.....wishful thinking, right?

Haha I never knew what a binky was!  I thought it was a security blanket.

Not sure what we'll call it.  I want to start our child off speaking Arabic, because it will be harder to teach later, so we'll probably use whatever the word is in Arabic (I'll have to ask, it's been a while since I've been around babies and all the associated lingo).

My parents call a chupon. My nephews are hispanic. Not sure DS knew what they were talking about when they called it that, lol. I call it either a binky or paci.

I think you guys are talking about a "wubbie" as in a "wub a nub".  Check this out https://www.amazon.com/Wubbanub-Infant-Pacifier-~-Giraffe/dp/B003CK3LDI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293210495&sr=8-1 .  They help hold a pacifier in and the child can grip it.  My friend swears by one, though my DD never did catch on to the pacifier idea.

well call it a Nuker cuz we use nuk brand.

mesr

this coming from England we call them Dummies to be honest I'm hoping not to use one much as Ive seen so many kids dependant on them, however I am sure I will give in and use them lots in the end. we will probably call it Dum Dum which is the shorter form commonly used or Num Num

mum2monkees

We usually call it a chupon or a beenie. Don't know where the beenie came from!
