What's your nickname for your LO at home?

vtkgirl77 · November 2009

Just curious, do you and DH have something you call your LO in private?

We call DD "Belchy". There's someone on CNN called Ali Velshi so my husband started calling our DD Ali Belchy (her first name can be shortened to Ali). My husband even made up a song that says, "Ali Belchy she's a squelchy, Ali Belchy soft and squelchy, the most beautiful girl in the world, she's our Ali Belchy!" The second verse starts with "She's squirmy like a wormy..." but I don't remember the rest.

We realized that we need to stop calling her Belchy soon because we don't want her to recognize it as her official nickname.

Feel free to share your embarrassing names you call your kid. I hope I'm not the only one out here.

He hasn't done anything really nickname-worthy yet, but I call DS "Stinkerpants" a lot.

I call DS monkey, fatty mcfatterson, fussy mcfusserson, or buddy.

We call her the Noodle...because she's slippery and wiggles like a wet noodle. She's had the nickname since the first few weeks at home. DH will literally come home and say, "How was the Noodle today?" Nathalie the Noodle. :-)

Your DH and mine sound alike in that they make up silly songs. One of his latest songs has him calling her "Big Toe Allie" because she has his big feet and toes.

We call her:

"Squirmy Wormy,"

"Crabby Wabby,"

"Fussy Wussy,"

"Cranky Wanky,"

"Her Highness."

"The Little Angry One"

ETA: Forgot to add "Bundle" as in "bundle of joy"

When we want her to calm down we tell her "No Drama Alessandra." Of course, Allie is the nickname for Alessandra. Wink

I almost forget Tessa's name sometimes, since I call her everything but that :P Usually it's bug (short for cuddle bug, love bug or lady bug), but also munchkin, fussbudget, pumpkin, honey bear, and several other variations on those.

One of my mom's favorite stories: When I was about 3, we were in a department store we frequented, and one of the sales clerks asked me my name. I looked all confused and couldn't answer, so she asked me what my mom called me and I told her "pumpkin."

We call DD bug, monkey, stinky, boobear, sweetie, munchkin, and probably a bunch of other things.

To the dismay of our family, we started early with "Bubba" (instead of baby). We used to play a game where she was "Bubbazilla" and knocked down her toys. It made her laugh hysterically every time. So, now she's:

Bubs

Bubsy

Bubbazilla

BBZ

Poor kid.

DD #2 is usually The Littlest (to distinguish her from the preschooler), Little Baby or Babyhead. We also put a B in front of her name to make her name funny.

DD #1 is Crazy Craze, Crazyhead, Crazy Crazerson, Silly, Silly goat, Silly Sillerson. I often say that she'll be in therapy in a few years telling her shrink "My parents always called me crazy!" We also do the B thing, makes her name funny.
