STM's - Does your LO have a nickname?

MrsLaLaBug · March 2014

DD's nickname is "Bug". My parents used to call me that when I was little.

bumpuser10199668 · March 2014

I'm a FTM and opened this anyway. Sorry.

But we call the baby 'cashew' right now.

We call Kate our potato, potato bug, pumpkin butter, pumkin pie. It developed like this...Kate, Kater, Tater (we call her Tater sometimes), Potato, etc...

Not sure why I call her pumpkin anything...

AccioKittyCat · March 2014

Ooh, I want to play! We call our baking baby Muppet.

chusum · March 2014

My daughter's name is Paige so I call her anything that starts with a P-nut, not sure why. It's most often Peanut, Peanut brittle, Peanut Butter, and there are more that aren't as commonly used. I also call her Sweet Heart & My Love, but it is often said when I'm trying to get her attention, not in a sappy pet name way.

ashaw512 · March 2014

I call her pumpkin, princess, pretty girl. Dh calls her Aubrey shell. Her middle name is Michelle

BabyMayinMarch · March 2014

Henry has tons of nicknames, pretty much all from DH. Henry-bo-benry, benry, baubs, booberto, it goes on an on. I found out today that my dayhome providers husband calls him Henrald!

rlyttle · March 2014

I usually call DS babydoll, but my DH has all kinds of NMs for him.

bodziochl · March 2014

BB on the way is called Rex, bc the last ultrasound looked like a little t-Rex lol

JackieB15 · March 2014

I call my daughter Nugget and my husband calls her Sweet Pea.

This one is Baby Bear right now, but will probably change a few times before September.

bumpuser7698452 · March 2014

I call DD Bubby-pants, Bubs, Bug and Squish.

Kateysomething · March 2014

Dd#1 is Pip or Pippi... along with about 50 other things including Toots, Bunny, Sassafrass..

Dd#2 is Vi, Viv, Vivvie, along with aforementioned 50ish nicknames in various combinations.

DH calls baking baby Sochi to be silly.

cmumama · March 2014

DS1 is bubba, buddy, goob, goober, little stinky goober, little stinky.

DS2 is baby, matthew baby, m baby

Bella2425 · March 2014

I call DS "muffin". I will be so sad when he's too old for it. We just call the baby "the baby" totally creative.

suitern · March 2014

DS has so many nicknames but I call him Bigs, biggie, and pickle the most. DH calls him Landonious (his name is Landon).

megs2011 · March 2014

The twins started out as Peanuts because they were so tiny. Then we started calling Monkey and Peanut. Now we call them both Monkey. I refer my baby as squish till (s)he is born because we won't share the name before hand like with the girls.

chardonnay24 · March 2014

Bugs or Bugsy, and I have no idea why. Stinky Feet Pete or Mr. Handsome Pants when he was little.

coffee bean · March 2014

I refer to then both as my monkeys (holy, we're they climbers!).

Somehow, Abby picked up the nickname Bears. We use it daily.

Jayhawkali · March 2014

We call Brady "bubba" or "bubbas" a lot when he was a baby now its just Brady or goober. One of the reasons we chose Brady was because it didn't get shortened or have a lot of nicknames

MBano · March 2014

I call my baby monkey, I love monkeys and it just fit

ashleyherling · March 2014

Bambino!! Or baby

LTMama · March 2014

DD has so many nicknames! They kind of evolved as she grew up. In utero, once we picked her name (Lilia), we called her Lilou (The Fifth Element!!). When she was in NICU I found myself calling her sweet pea. Then once she came home we started calling her Soosa (which is chick in Arabic, because she would root for food like a little chick pecking - so cute). Then fassa, which is like toots. Now I usually call her my little monkey or beautiful.

Tons of nicknames. DH has been calling the baby peanut. We'll see what other names the kiddo picks up along the way.

chusum · March 2014

I forgot to add that my family calls my daughter Pagina or Paginita because we are from Panama and the translation for Paige (well page) is Pagina. It annoys the crap out of my husband, but that's what he gets for not agreeing to a name that translates well!

hizah05 · March 2014

Another bug here. I started calling him that the day he was born because I thought he looked like one!

T&HLove · March 2014

Lately, I've been calling her Punky. It stems from pumpkin pie, punkin, punky

krazyinsane · March 2014

We call DD#1 Lexy Bear/Ladybug/all sorts of bug variations (Bug/Buggy/Bugaboo etc)
Then DD#2 is Baby cakes or DaweeDawee (how DD#1 said Nadylie when DD#2 was born) and DaweeBear
DD#3 is Squeaks/Squeakers/Squeaky etc RosieBear/SqueakyBear
No nicknames for LO#4 yet but since DH started all the bear nicknames I decided if it's a boy he will be ManCub like Mowgli from jungle book.

Irisheyes1247 · March 2014

DD1 is CharChar

DD2 is Meema, Meema Lou, Meema-loobie-loo

And I call them both 'dollie'

melrob613 · March 2014

DD is Bucket or Bean

DS is Bubba or Bubbs (we weren't expecting it to stick)

All three were/are known as Cleatus the Fetus prior to finding the sex. I feel bad calling them "it".

OceanBay122 · March 2014

DD is Cocoa Bunny and Snuggybug. Cocoa bunny because she is so active and entergetic, and is always hopping around like a little bunny. Snuggybug because she loves snuggles.

Tussie Mussie · March 2014

I call DD Doodle

Annsor · March 2014

I call my DS Seth Goose. When I was pregnant with him an ultrasound pic looked like a little baby chick. I referred to him as my baby goose while pregnant & now I often just call him goose. He is going to be 12 & has asked me to only use that name at home. Soooorrrry cool guy!!

linnsey26 · March 2014

We call her Tova fish (no idea how that even started) and little monkey. We have been calling this baby "jalapeño baby" because this one is giving me some serious heartburn.

SocraTeaseMe · March 2014

DD's nickname is "Mimi," so of course I have a nickname FOR her nickname... which is "Meemz"

Jennesia · March 2014

LO#1 is Cienna Beetle
LO#2 is Boo-kie Bear
LO#3 is Moose because he was so big(9lbs 12oz) when he was born.

The one currently residing in me is referred to as Sprout.

Flowerchica · March 2014

I'm sticking with sticky bean

StefanyaMarie · March 2014

We all called my son Yurtle since his ultrasound pics looked like a turtle. This time, my 2 1/2 year old son talks to my belly and refers to the baby as Baby Brother-Sister (since we don't yet know what it is). Last week he also told me that he is Batman and baby is Baby Spiderman.

JenniferS2004 · March 2014

My family has nicknamed it "Little Dixie" because they are convinced it is a girl and that she will be a little redneck. Lol I do live in South Carolina.

mytinc · March 2014

When I was pregnant with DS we called him "Oscar". We knew he was a boy and couldn't decide on a name, but we both disliked Oscar, so it somehow became his nickname. After he was born I didn't want to call him that but we still hadnt named him, so I called him "Little Buddy" for the first 12 hours or so until he got his name. Now he's still Buddy or Buddy Boo. Since DS is only 10 months old it doesn't feel right to call the new LO "The baby" so we nicknamed him/her "Sybil" as in sibling.

AmandaR204 · March 2014

We call Julian "juju" all the time, it's how he knows himself. We call him Jay and Junior too since his initials are JR, but mostly juju or the jujinator

whataboutscience · March 2014

FTM here and was just curious...is bug regional perhaps? I've never heard anyone call their child that, but it seems surprisingly common. I feel like where I live you would get a weird look. Not judging at all, I can see how it can be cute too.
