Early in pregnancy my DH started calling her "Babby" and it continued throughout because we didnt decide on her name till a few weeks before she was born. We still call her Babby sometimes. I also call her little milk face, my sweet baby, sweet girl. My stepsister is a bad speller and sent me a text once asking how our "cuttie pie" was so sometimes we call her that (pronounced like cuddy).
Jiggy, Ootini, the Jackal, mister dude (H started it, I didnt like it at first but now find myself saying it all the time haha guess it stuck) and any variation of his name... Jack. Jack rabbit, happy jack, etc...
Punky or stinker. DH calls her toots or tootie bc she 'toots' a lot.
I call my son punky a lot! He's also punkin and punky butt. My H calls him hamstick or hammy, because of his chunky legs. And all of H's friends call him Cash Money. Because his names Cash. Sigh...guess that couldnt be avoided.
Owen Bear evolved into: The Bear, Beary, Mr. Bear, Beary-Boo. He's also referred to as "The Baby" quite a bit. The whole Bear thing came after he was born because he was just our Big Bear. Which is funny because he was "Monkey" from before we even knew his gender in utero and we had a ton of monkey clothes. Luckily, Baby Gap has embroidered bears all over their stuff right now so I've been stocking up. Occasionally Drool Monster is a nickname he gets.
The Sweetness, That Girl That We Love, Girl Marty (she is named after DH), Minimart and when she turns into a big spaz at night, The Fidgety Fidgester.
Ben is Benny Beans, Silly Beans , Mr. Tootles, and Tank. The first three are because the he has the loudest toots ever. The last is due to the fact that the boy is nearly 20lbs at 3 months old and has shoulders that are only half an inch smaller than his 2 and a half year old brother who is considered big for his age.
Sam is Sammy Miami (something my mom started calling him), Stinky Baby (pretty self explanatory), and Peanut.
The best nicknames came from Max (DS1) during the first three weeks they were home. He used to call them "Baby" and "The Other One".
I hope this doesn't offend anyone but....when DD is "giving us hell" for not doing what she wants she will furrow her brow, raise her fist in the air and kind of yell or growl at us so we call her Mussolini. Or little dictator.
Hungry hungry hippo. At mealtimes Krabby patty. When cranky or fussy Chunky cheeks Squirmy:dh uses this one a lot. Ds likes to make u work during a diaper change.
Little Snuffles (she made lots of little snuffling sounds when she was a newborn- sadly, she's grown out of it), Little, Little Love, Poopster, Poopcicle, BeeBoo, and for some reason Face- maybe a shortened version of "Sweet Face?" The origins are unclear.
Edit (thought of more!): Lexie Loo Who and Lexilena. We actually kind of wish we had named her Lexie Lena.
Bucko, bugaboo, little man, O-ster, Chunk-a-monk, Peanut and a few hundred more. Interesting psychology behind nicknames... generally speaking - the more you love someone, the more nicknames you'll give them.
I'm guessing our May babies (or in some cases like mine, April babies) have tons of nicknames because our babies are all amazing and beyond adorable.
I started calling LO "Sprout" when I was pregnant. The name has stuck and I still call him Sprout more than his actual name. Hopefully he won't go off to college with me still calling him Sprout.
I call LO child #2, or my little beauty (she's always posing and she looks like me. Lol!). DD is called the child, #1, and love. My DH call LO "popochurra". DD he calls her "Mamot". ( he says these out of love, btw)
Re: GTKY LO's nickname
DH calls her munchkin or piglet.
My brother calls her peanut.
My mom calls her dumpling.
