Poll: Most Annoying Baby Nickname?

What's the most annoying nickname someone has chosen for your child?
I've got a cousin who is a Bengals fan that calls her Carson(as in QB Carson Palmer) and that makes me want to punch him since I'm a Steelers fan.
Also, one of my husband's employees refers to her as "Baby Goo" like Farrah's mom on 16 & Pregnant. I don't like that much either.
This is my siggy. Love it.

Andy.
I know its not terrible, but we call him Drew and some people insist on calling him Andy because they don't like the NN we've chosen.
Everytime I hear it I get so irritated.
I don't blame you. That's fvcking ridiculous.
This is my siggy. Love it.
Ha!

They may just think you can't spell, since "ollie" is the correct spelling. "Oli" is not listed as one of the variations.

Not pointed out to be mean at all, its your child and you have the right to do whatever you think is best, just pointing out why they might do this...
This is my siggy. Love it.
My sister calls her Ky (first and last letter). She pronounces it like sky without the S. She was calling her KY(like the lube), but after several dirty looks from me, she changed it.
Sigh.
My sister calls him Jellybean head. I know it's stupid.
a) its long and not a nickname
b) his head is not shaped like a jellybean
I want to hit her with a 2-hitter quitter, right in the face.
My son's name is Oliver too and this happens to me all the time! I hate it when its spelled Ollie.

That's weird! My son's name is Oliver and this happens to me too
Fuss bucket. I cannot stand when people call any child this, especially DS since he is not usually a fussy baby. If he is fussing, he needs something! Don't just stand there calling him names!
PPPSSSSCCCCHHH. That was me spitting my more milk making water all over the laptop.
This is my siggy. Love it.

My first name is Stephanie...so I also got step-on-me.
My son is the third generation to be named his first name, but we do not call him by his first name he goes by his middle name. We make this VERY clear to everyone.
I could understand if someone called him by his real first name, but when they turn his first name into a shortened and changed version it bugs me so much!
This makes me think of The Office and now I can't think of your child as anything but Nard-dawg.
Unable to even.

My first name is Stephanie as well. I had a BFF when I was six that used to call me step on me. She quit the day I stomped on her toes as hard as I could and then told her mom that she had asked me to step on her. God, I hated that name.
This is my siggy. Love it.
My name is also Stephanie and I got that occasionally. I also got 'fannie' and 'Steffie.' My one grandmother was the only person that could call me Steffie.

Is it wrong that DH and I say "Beer me that formula" when we're feeding the girls?

I knew I'd have to deal with it when I had DS, but I named him JOSHUA for a reason, and soooo many people call him Josh..it sounds weird when people say it to him because I have never used it before. Of course, it was going to happen..I just didn't want it too! haha,
And my finaces mom calls Karter- chubby monkey...we call her chubby BUNNY (because I HATE monkeys!!) or she calls her chunker. Yea, I know she's a chubby HEALTHY baby, but geez, lay off the fat names! haha
I am a Nicole as well and totally got this as well as Nicorette. Sweet.
Most people call me Stephie or Step or Steph. I also get Tiffany?? I get Debbie and Betsy when I answer my work extension. WTF. I DO NOT have a southern drawl.
Oh, and Mia informed me last night that I am a super hero and my name is now The Steper. I love that kid. :P
