What are you calling your in utero child??

Karschingham · July 2012

Just a silly little post to see what nicknames etc you all are calling these babies....

we call ours "Cletus the fetus" haha for short just cleaty or cleat Stick out tongue

DachsieMama123 · July 2012

We alternate between "Monkey" and "Bean" but mostly just call it Baby. But when my sister was pregnant last year, we called her baby Cletus the Fetus!

Snowflake

We are pregnant after a frozen embryo transfer and just like snowflakes, our baby (as an embryo) was tiny, unique, and frozen... We refer to the 4 remaining embryos as our snowbabies and are looking forward to the day when we are able to give them a chance at life as well.

Mama5181 · July 2012

For right now it's Sweet Pea. After we tell everyone the sex we'll call her by her name.

Robeano · July 2012

We call it either sticky (cuz this one's sticking around) or baby.

KatieM558 · July 2012

I call it "mini-me" my mom calls it "lolly" as in lolly pop.

kenna_4 · July 2012

Last time it was Bean. And now we still call DD bean. This time we just call it "the baby" . No fun nick name. Cletus made me LOL.

jkremp · July 2012

We are calling him/her "nugget"! It has caught on with family and friends, so everyone calls to ask how nugget is doing!

erkie · July 2012

We were calling him/her by the fruit of the week (raspberry, blueberry). Then we came to Olive and it stuck. Seriously trying to convince DH to use Oliver as a boy's name.

Karschingham · July 2012

TarHeelMomToBe:
My husband started calling our LO Franklin shortly after my BFP...just because he didn't want to call him/her "it". His family is all saying Franklin or Frank now -- even confused some of his older aunts who thought that we already knew it was a boy and that was going to be his name (it's not). He assured them that we were planning to call the baby Wolverine if it's a boy

hahaha people ask us when they hear us say cletus if that's the baby's name too, lol So I just say yes...Cletus Wolfgang (FN MN), lolol your husbands got the right idea!

steph3486 · July 2012

We call ours Aiden (don't know if it's a he/she yet!).. we have a Bradyn, Jadyn, Raiden, and Cadyn in our families so we always joke that this one is going to be Aiden! lol

SEWF · July 2012

My H calls the baby Malcolm, since that's what we're going to name it if it's a boy. H REALLY wants a boy (he'll be ecstatic either way, obviously, but he's trying to will it to be a boy). I just call it the baby. Luckily we find out the sex in three weeks.

Olive is our girl name of choice I think it's lovely and classic, Oliver was our boy choice now I'm not sure....we're still tossing ideas around

Kie310 · July 2012

My son was "baby z" then "baby boy z"... this one I haven't called anything other than "The baby" yet.

starz57182 · July 2012

The baby.

zonagirlie · July 2012

Because of the due date changes, this baby was a blueberry for weeks so it stuck. We also say "him" a lot for some reason. Sometimes when I'm alone I talk aloud and call the baby my "buddy" or "belly buddy" and other silly things.

SJRowe · July 2012

I called it fetus or spot it looked like one on the only ultrasound I've had so far. I love Cletus the Fetus LOL

this decaf life · July 2012

Little one.

On the days I think LO is a girl I call "her" Elsie [that'll be the NN I use if LO is really a girl]

Mrs.AmyDylan · July 2012

We call ours "bun" as in "bun in the oven". It has circulated through the family and I get calls and texts checking on Bun.

GinghamGrenade · July 2012

We have been calling he/she Absu, after one of our favorite bands. We have a running joke that he/she will be born and his/her cries will all be ridiculous metal screams. =P

jessalared · July 2012

We call ours "little lizard" That's what she looked like in the ultrasound!

Turd Ferguson 2.0 (see https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Turd%20Ferguson for background from SNL).

When I was pregnant with DD, we were not sharing names, or lists of names. A busy body in my office would not stop bugging me about it. DH told me I should tell her the name was "Turd Ferguson.". And I did, with a totally straight face to the point she believed me. So we're keeping the same NN this time, but 2.0 for the 2nd version

SO funny!

JJsMum · July 2012

DH, who really wants a girl, calls baby by the girl name we've chosen. I have absolutely no clue what we're having, so I just call s/he 'baby'. We aren't very creative. Usually once we start feeling baby a bit more we come up with cool nicknames. DS was spazbot because he'd randomly go crazy moving for about 5 min and then I wouldn't feel him for hours. Yeah, he's still like that too

JumpAroundBucky · July 2012

We were calling it Ziggy, now we've moved on to Flik. Usually it's just Baby, though.

misscarter87 · July 2012

We just say baby!

BLPL101 · July 2012

We are boring and just call it the baby.

ellaNu630 · July 2012

Rae, not sure how it came up, and it's not a name we would ever use, but it's stuck. DS was Cano, as in Robinson Cano from the NY Yankees, I sometimes wish we had kept it as a middle name, oh well.

I'm loving Cletus the Fetus!

littleheaven · July 2012

we've been calling it osito, spanish for little bear

we live out in the woods in nj, and we have bears quite often in our yard...and also with the amount of heartburn i was having the first trimester, and the owt about the hb meaning a hairy baby, i told dh i was going to give birth to a teddy bear.....

however, my nephew has been calling it paisano, italian for cousin...because that's what mario said at the beginning of a super mario game......then again he also thinks we should name the baby pikachu (he's 7 and oh so adorable)

Hildaw · July 2012

We don't have any fun names yet and just refer to it as baby.

==N== · July 2012

Either it or the baby. I called ds it too and it stuck even after he was born. Oops. So I plan to make an effort to call it he or she after we find out what it is.

ungraceful13 · July 2012

We call him/her muffin.

JennV514 · July 2012

New baby.

adventureolive · July 2012

Bean, mostly. Sometimes we call it Seed or Alien.

runlong3 · July 2012

We usually just refer to it as baby. Although if anyone asks what the name is we go with "Rock 'n' Roll Wait for It... Lastname". Bonus points to the first person to guess where both the FN and MN come from! Wink

(FN = Rock 'n' Roll, MN = Wait for It...)

jjdillie · July 2012

We call it Baby D (referencing our last name). It's really stuck and everyone asks about Baby D. Once we find out the sex, we'll call it by it's name.

I love this! My sister was begging me for a nickname to use to refer to the baby, and I might steal this from you!

This has always been our name too, lol!!

AlyssaY10 · July 2012

We've been using 'sweet pea', sometimes 'pepito.'

jenn248 · July 2012

George Jr. Jr. The dog is George, and she is named after a dog we had when I was a kid named George (hence the second "Jr.").

JuneMiles · July 2012

We are doing the exact same thing! but we didn't stick on any particular week, so we are still calling it by the fruit of the week.
