Just for fun: Baby Nicknames

jessica102706 · April 2011

None of us know the sex of our babies yet so what are you calling him/her? I didn't want to keep calling it "it" so DH and I have been calling the baby "peanut" until we know the sex. What have you been calling your little "it"?

ClaraEarlene · April 2011

We call ours Jellybean or Bean. I also refer to the baby as "her," since I have a strong feeling it's a girl.

vtcnicely · April 2011

I call mine a "he" for wishful thinking...but we either call it the gobbler or the turkey.

caryburn123 · April 2011

We also call baby peanut. My dad calls him/her tater tot. For some reason he wont get on the peanut bandwagon! lol

HokieLaw · April 2011

We were calling ours the French Fry until we found out there were two. Now we just say the twins.

jessaug6 · April 2011

We call "it" peanut, or him because I have strong maternal instincts that it's a boy this time lol

VivianBee · April 2011

We've been calling the baby "she" since my hubby insists it is going to be a girl....which probably means it will be a boy

Aww...I like turkey for your little Thanksgiving baby

My aunt likes Thanksgiving babies. She has 2 boys born 3 years apart and both were born on Thanksgiving Day. How funny is that?!

angiegail78 · April 2011

I'm calling this baby "small fry," but only when I'm talking to it.

When talking to DH we both refer to it as "the new baby."

Zooropa10 · April 2011

We call it our "tiny human" our "tiny evaluator in training" (I am evaluator)

MrsNash37212 · April 2011

We call ours Mavis, which is a combo of our boy and girl names. I love the looks of horror on people's faces when they think we're really naming our kid that

JBlack910 · April 2011

Peanut!! ... its funny though my husband thinks its funny to pretend that he likes the name Zeus for a boy so he keeps calling it that...but i dont find it too amusing. he has his brother and friends telling me Zeus is an awesome name. lol

katgracenugget · April 2011

We generally call him/her "nugget" but my husband also uses "Captain Poppyseed" which is the size the baby was when we found out we were PG.

jjswife08 · April 2011

We call the baby Sam - a gender neutral name. DH is really good about not saying he or she but I keep saying he, it's just a feeling I have!

MrsC2009 · April 2011

I refer to him/her as Baby C, the baby or little one. DH refers to him/her as "Thing 1"...I think that's just as bad as saying "it". It's not a "thing".

Ha, I actually kinda like that name! Maybe because I just love Mavis Staples.

Ours is called the jellybean also. Also, I usually say "he" and my husband usually says "she", so we'll see who's right!

arobertson072409 · April 2011

"The little English Bastard" (only when I was getting reallllly sick... DH is English); "The Bean", "The Bearn (my DH calls it this); "Ickle Lou (Tiny Lou); and "he" - first pronoun I think of when speaking about it... even though I think its a little girl... hmmm.

Nikkoli110 · April 2011

I usually call the baby "little peanut" or "little turkey". Can't wait to find out the sex of the baby!!

dollfinn19 · April 2011

I'm real original and call him/her Baby or Bebe. On days I'm real tired or hungry or whatever due to the pregnancy. I say The Beast. Like, "I have to feed The Beast!" or "The Beast is taking over!" haha

Fallon621 · April 2011

Our little "slow roast"!!

Hahaha...DH is doing the same thing but using the name Xerxes. He keeps telling me thats what he wants to name the baby if its a boy. DH has also gotten friends joking around about it too saying they agree but when I told MIL she yelled at him. She said he no longer had a say in the baby's name - that it is all my decision now haha.

ashley1381 · April 2011

We call ours the Blob-- since that's what s/he looked like at our first ultrasound!

jander81 · April 2011

My mom and I refer to the baby as DoodleBear. My SIL's baby is DoodleBug.

jennicg27 · April 2011

Ours is Puck for now. DH and I are hockey fans, and DH also loves Shakespeare.

Cort711 · April 2011

We call ours "Nugg", short for nugget

.

kateNovemberBaby · April 2011

I say the bean, but my husband really likes to make up ridiculous names like Cornwillicker!

KBBH · April 2011

The DH calles "it" Baby. "Hi, Baby!" My mom wants to call it himher (pronounced himmer). Not sure what to call it. I like slow roast. LOL. Little turkey? Little bird? Gotta bring the Thanksgiving theme into it.

lmorg678 · April 2011

I call mine pumpkin.

CheriCO · April 2011

I don't know if it's because this is our second or what, but we honestly don't talk about the baby all that much. When we do, it usually has something to do with DS, like when he's being too rough & trying to jump on my stomach one of us will remind him that there's a baby in there. So I guess we've referred to it as "the baby", "mommy's baby" or "the baby in mommy's tummy". Not all that exciting. It is kind of strange to me that DH and I don't really talk about the new LO all that much. What we have discussed quite a lot is the birth center, what we liked/didn't like about how DS's birth went, that sort of thing and we've tossed around names a tiny bit, but I guess we are still very much absorbed in taking care of a crazy 3 yr old.

erinmorin · April 2011

We call ours the fruit if the week so this week we are using Plumie and next week will be Peachy

The best part is on Monday nights DH says bye to the current fruit because on Tuesdays my ticker changes

HadleyS · April 2011

DH calls our baby "little turkey"...I used to, but I am moving away from that...don't like it so much now for some reason. I am saying, "the baby", "the babe", things like that.

I still can't bring myself to call our baby "baby Q" (Q for our last Initial), which is what we called our first baby that we lost in January. It's my favorite by far, but I just can't do it.

ABWebster · April 2011

Baby Hokie...

VT alumni and also due a couple weeks before thanksgiving

Amanda Harvey · April 2011

lima bean

siba1119 · April 2011

I call it "Giblet" or "Nutty Buddy" my little sister calls it Dino the Dinosaur.

We're right there with you, we don't really talk about the baby. We don't even say anything to DD about it because we're not ready for her to repeat anything.

DD we called Hellboy because that's what she looked like in the first u/s picture.

jseaton61 · April 2011

we've referred to the baby as "he" for quite a while.. i've just had this gut feeling "it" is a boy and i can't break myself from saying "he."

tnleigh · April 2011

Cletus (as in Cletus the fetus) mostly

I like this. :-)

gracefulruby33 · April 2011

We've been calling it Baby (last name) for a while. I can't wait until 6/29 when we find out the sex! I don't know how people can wait to find out! This is practically torture! Smile
