Name my baby

My baby needs a name - while he/she is growing in my tummy.  It seems like everyone has these cute little names that come to them - and we've got nothing.  Jason has been calling it Baby Nismo.  Nismo makes Nissan car parts - go figure.  My mom calls it a tadpole.  So far in the pictures I've thought it looks like a roly poly, a bean, a turtle, a gummy bear (which then made me think of Pooh Bear, which I love), and currently this week, size wise, we're a raspberry.  Or we just go Baby F.  I really wish something would just come to us, because I hate just saying "the baby" all the time.  My coworker has suggested "Cletus the Fetus."  Um, no.  :)

    This isn't very original since it is in your siggy but how about "Lovebug"?

    I say, call the baby Messy.

    My mind works in mysterious ways...

    House At Pooh Corner - one of your favorite songs, right?

    By Loggins & Messina

    Loggins just doesn't work and Messina is too long

    so Messi = messy

    And babies are messy Smile

    I'm bad at fetus nicknames. ;)

    One of my friends called mine "little baklavas," lol. (DH is Greek.)

    See, that is adorable!  I'd steal it if Jason or I were Greek.

    I called him Matt Jr so that Matt would get more excited.  He should have been Andrea Jr though because he looks so much like me!  I also called him baby G, but Matt Jr was my favorite nickname.  Now it's "squirrely!"

    I called E sweet pea until we found out the sex and decided on a name and then I could call her Evelyn or Evie.  It's great to call your baby their name once you decide (or at least it was for me)...it makes it so real.

    Do you have a slightly strange touchy-feely friend who has a "feeling" about what the baby is going to be like?  I have an aunt who, after finding out my mom was pregnant, said "You're having a Ralph! Like the musical muppet!" so I was called Ralph while in utero, and then started banging on the piano as soon as I could haul myself up the piano bench to sit on it.

    All of which is to say, I have no idea, go ask someone slightly whacked and choose any word she says. Anything is better than Cletus.

    ughh I hate "Cletus"...a few people said that when I was preg too.  I think I like the Lovebug suggestion!  I'm sad to admit that I forget what we called the baby in utero :/

    Lemen, are you going to eat my baklavas? lol

    I do like Krista's example...I think it's cute when people have kind of an off the wall "real" name for the baby.

    I'm not sure what the word is in other languages, but maybe the word for "Miracle" in the language or one of your heritages?

    I have a friend who was sick all the time her entire pregnancies (and she had a hard time getting and staying pregnant) who called it her little tapeworm. ;)

    I used to work with a respiratory therapist named Cletus who was very nice, hehe.

    lol!  My family makes baklava for all of our get togethers.  My great-grandma was from Macedonia and my family is eastern orthodox!

    I didn't know that, cool! :)

    We got married in the G.O. church, and that's where our baklavas will be baptized. DH actually said before he wants to take them to Greece to get baptized, since he was baptized over there...but we'll have to see how that all works out, hehe.
