    We call ours Sucky. We have 3 brands, but they're all sucky. And baby hates them all.

    I call it Paci, but I grew up with it called a "plug."

    DH calls it his "sucky thing" from Look Who's Talking.

    We call it "ninny". She really is indifferent to it. My oldest was the same way but at home she would ask for it. My cousin called his "pie-ey" which was supposed to be Paci.

    I've always called it a binky. I tried saying "paci" and apparently that annoys DH so we'll stick with binky :)

    Paci. I have an irrational annoyance with the term binky... I can't find a logical connection to why it would be called that!
    I feel this way about the word Paci. Not a fan of binky either. I ordered a Wubbanub that should be arriving tomorrow. I think I'll be happy to be able to say "Do you want your monkey?" as at least that isn't embarrassing to say in public.

    This is why! They used to be a much more popular brand. It's like calling tissues "Kleenex"

    Thank you! I've never seen those before!

    @missdemeanor, paci as just shortened form of pacifier. It sounds kinda weird, but it at least made sense in my head where it comes from!

    And we have a Wubanub, and I call it her "wub"... not any better. ;-)

    I used to baby sit for a family that always called them su-su's (if that's how you'd spell it?). For some reason this is ingrained in my mind and what I end up calling them.
    (I've also called them "suce" like tlex, but as a short for susu...cause 2 syllables is too much to say with fussy baby apparently ;) )

    Us too.  And a lot of people did where I grew up.  I wonder if it is a regional thing??  LO loves MAMs.  Nothing else.

    Me too! When MIL asks where his binky it, it reminds me of nails on a chalkboard. I absolutely loathe the word.

    A friend of mine (and actually a bunch of people I've known) calls it a Nuk.

    I call it a binky...even though LO only likes mam brand ones. When I was little I called it a "tissey". No clue where I got that name from though.

    When I was a baby my older brother (age 4 at the time) picked up my pacifier, looked at my mom and asked, "Where is the fire?". Lol

    DD1 started calling them chewies when she was little and it stuck. Mostly she used them for teething rather than sucking on so it seemed appropriate. DD2 hates them all. Well hate may be too strong. She just looks at us like what the heck is that thing when we try.

    This!! I look at someone weird when they say "oh he needs his binky" of something similar. Nope, it's a paci ;)

    I have pet rabbits - "binky" makes me think of the funny bunny jumps that they do (also called binkies).

    I voted binky because that's what I call it but my BF calls it everything under the sun. It's her suckie, pacifier, paci, and some other weird ones. I wish he would just call it one thing and stick to it.

    I have literally never heard anyone say paci IRL. A pp mentioned that maybe names can be regional?

    @TyrannosaurusLex‌ @DisneyPeanut‌ You should get these, and then you can double call it a suce.imageimageimage
    On a note related to my other random thread, WHY didn't i do the nursery in a Dr Seuss theme? That would have been awesome!

    We call it a paci. I never took one, but younger siblings all had odd names for theirs... "Offoo" "Donna" (hahaha) and "war". Curious to see what LO comes up with!

    @TyrannosaurusLex‌ yep. He would scream things like "I dropped Donna!" or "where's Donna?? I need Donna!" in public. I hope my mom got a kick out of it.
