I had a nickname in mind for my daughter when she was born... and I now call her something that has nothing to do with her name at all, she is "Bubs" - sometimes I'm amazed that she's ended up with that nickname!
Anyone else call their baby something completely unexpected?
Re: GTKY: Does your LO have a nickname?
She has many because nicknames our my family's thing
We call her Ror, Rors, Pooty and Munchkin.
My family calls her Rorri-Coaster because my uncle had a hard time saying rorri alone so he came up with this! I love it.
Since day 1 my mom said Manuel is an old man's name so we all call him Manny.
My dad calls him "pimpo"
My husband calls "mugres" which means dirty. (even more if he misses one bath)
Lastly even though his name is Manny so many people call him "Little Vicente" because he looks so much like my husband

my read shelf:
Since Liliana has red hair she has acquired a couple of nicknames from other people about that (most of which I dislike and discourage). My husband calls her Ginger Snap. I often call her Little Bug. Otherwise her only nickname that makes sense is Lily.
DS got the weirder nickname of my kids. His name is Ishmael but we call him Ferkel which is the German word for piglet. He used to snort as a baby so we called him piglet and a German friend of ours told us about the word Ferkel. It stuck.

DS1 - Sean-Sean, little man, buddy, and stink butt (especially after he has pooped)
I am still trying to come up with a nickname for DS2, but I can't think of one for him. His name is Collin
Baby Boy #2 is on the way!
DD has many nicknames: Peanut, Princess, Monkey, Bug, Taylor Tot, Love Bug, Peanut princess, Monkey princess.
We rarely call her by her real name unless we are talking about her to someone else it feels weird to me. But I also rarely call FI by his name either so I guess I am just weird.
