Nickname for baby while its in ur tummy

future mrs dash · June 2014

What name do u use when talking to ur bump? I just keep using baby, my husband calls it squishy.. Whats urs?

DH started calling it "Merl" after the first u/s we had at 7 weeks. He said it looked like a fat bald old man

But now I'm trying out more specific nicknames relevant to possible final names. So I'm calling him my little Bumble Bee or just Bee these days. Bee is very active, and it seems like he putters around in there a lot so it fits.

I call my baby Nemo. It started out as a joke when we were trying to get pregnant. I would tell my husband's "boys" to just keep swimming... We tried for a long time and ended up going via IVF and through it all I just kept saying just keep swimming. When we got the news that it worked I said "I found NEMO!" and then it stuck. I am so hooked on the Nemo thing now that we are doing the nursery with nemo.

I have no idea what her name will be once she's born, but while she's in my tummy she is Nemo.

We call ours "Buddy"
We told our our 2 year old niece that her cousin was in my belly, so now when we see her points to my belly and says "that's my buddy!" We love it!!

We used "bean" but now we're using his name

AmandaJean12 · June 2014

She's been jelly bean since we found out we were pregnant. We have a name chosen but I won't use it until she comes out.

tdegregs · June 2014

We call it our "little nugget" ❤️

Jellybean813 · June 2014

I started calling mine thumper since he/she's started kicking.

MrsSinner402 · June 2014

We call her bebe, baby, or baby girl. Even though we're pretty set on a name, we will probably still refer to her as the nicknames until she arrives.

Phoenix. We call this baby Phoenix. It is sort of a joke because my brother was strongly pulling for Phoenix or Memphis if DD had been a boy (not options we considered!) so we joked that this baby would be Phoenix. Well, it stuck and now LO is only Phoenix!

It may be hard to change when baby is born!

Dani0329 · June 2014

We call our sweet girl little bit.

The Freeloader. Though, really that's only me and usually when he's sitting on my bladder. DH doesn't really have a nickname for him, though did think he looked like a squid after our first ultra sound.

HAHA!! Actually I should amend mine too b/c when he's doing his strange hand-dragging thing I call him "The Creeper".

Schroeder. A shortened version of Schrodinger - thanks to DH and his geeky sense of humor over the IVF.

Meatball, as spaghetti and meatballs were one of the few foods that I didn't have an aversion to in the first Tri. And hell, because my bump looks like one.

The more weight I gain, I feel like a meatball all over.

Littledeer84 · June 2014

Nick junior. We don't even know if it is a boy, although h is pulling for it. He is Nick, and was teased as a kid for the tv channel/programming of nick jr. As a joke that is what we call the baby.

bumpuser10309732 · June 2014

Baby B. I call my husband B, so she's baby B because she likes to eat all the same things he does.

OMG a homemade meatball sandwich sounds so good! Thanks a lot!

lol

I don't really say much about this baby with a nn yet. I don't know why really because we used a lot of different names for ds. One of which was bug/buggy and I still call him that sometimes.

Bebelove0947 · June 2014

DS was jelly bean or bean. I started out calling this baby nugget but my sister didn't like that because it reminded her of chicken nuggets. So we renamed it baby t-Rex.

kglasco · June 2014

My mom started calling baby Pocahontas early but DH said that was for a girl so he started calling baby "Pokey" and that kind of stuck!

SusieBW · June 2014

Baby Brother.
With DD, we called her Baby Girl the whole time (she didn't have a name until a few hours after she was born). Now, DD talks about her baby brother all the time, and so we've all just kind of adopted that name.

TheOtherJacobsons · June 2014

@suprsuz‌ I wasn't sure if you were going to name her Nemo for real and I didn't want to upset you by asking. I was thinking it was an interesting choice for a girl and wanted to know if it was after the Disney character or the psychotic captain of the Nautilus....

@DreadGamerWife‌ that's funny and so appropriate especially in the beginning! Clever husband.

TheOtherJacobsons · June 2014

We called her by all the fruits until we found out the sex. Now we just call her by her name. It seems weird now to have a nn.

FriendlyGhost1012 · June 2014

We have been calling him Pop Tart since I found out I was pregnant. I didn't want to say the word "baby" and decided on Pop Tart because it was the first box I spotted in the pantry after I took the test. Our friends and families have started calling him Pop Tatt, too.

nightowl1989 · June 2014

Pumpkin here...but lately it's been more "little one" or "baby." DH called her "sweetie pie" yesterday.

[Deleted User] · June 2014

We've just been calling the baby "bebe." Next week during my anatomy scan we will hopefully confirm the sex, and then call the baby his/her name. An early ultrasound (14w4d) showed a boy, but I won't believe it until it's confirmed by my doctor. If so, his name will be John and I'm going to have a hard time not calling him "Lil John" like the rapper. My future BIL is named John so it just fits haha

suprsuz · June 2014

@theotherjacobsons No I wouldn't name my baby Nemo. I looked to see if it had a meaning just for fun, and it is in the boys list. from what I found it means "nobody". So yeah, even if I had been interested in using that name I could never name my child Nobody! lol. It's just her name for now. I even refer to her as the fish. but I promise I would not really name her after a fish.

igotaprettyring · June 2014

We just say the baby or little one, but when I''m talking with the grandparents, I'll say punkin or punky.

jesslinnn · June 2014

We still mostly refer to her as "the baby". We're not 100% set on the name so it feels weird using it. DH will say "it" and I'm all "it's a SHE!" But even saying "she" feels strange since we're used to boys and we both still can't believe that we're having a girl.

Waterlilly11 · June 2014

DH calls it "Bubble Guppy"

At our A/S Tuesday, the tech said that the babies's arms are short, like a T-Rex. Hubz decided that was going to be his NN until we decided on a name.

MissMandyD · June 2014

The Fox. This name is modified weekly to be an adjective the fruit of the week....such as Foxy Banana. Since I started feeling kicks and tickling at about 14 weeks we also call the baby dancy or kicky fox.

[Deleted User] · June 2014

We also call ours "little pumpkin". Most of the time we're boring though, and just call him "baby"!

MrsTinMKE · June 2014

Oh my gosh, I had to reply to this one! My DH and I call it baby.

But my FIL - refers to our baby as Little Bronco..

My husband had an obsession with the Broncos when he was little, so he calls the baby little bronco, its odd but so damn funny!

T-Rex! I love it! so cute lol

Baby. Original, I know.

AppleGrapeMSTK · June 2014

We did Boop for a while. DS poked my tummy and said, "Boop!" I thought he was making a sound affect, but he just thought my tummy was squishy like my boobs.

Now we call him by his name.

Heartwood0519 · June 2014

I never like the idea of a nn for the baby and most of the time I call it the baby, but over Easter, we shared our boy name with my parents and we were putting it together with various middle names and my Dad jokingly suggested Egbert. So now we call it Eggy.

MorganWP · June 2014

DD was, Peanut. It didnt stick after birth though. She's Bubs (bubsy, bubby) now.

This one is Nugget because he seriously looked like the little boot shaped nuggets from mcd's at the first ultrasound.

Arctic_Seal · June 2014

Kid2. Our daughter in the womb was called kid, so now this kid is Kid2.

DaniGrace89 · June 2014

Started as Bean....when she was a poppy seed sized being, that seemed fitting. When she grew I felt it wasn't a great name anymore. So for a while she was "stinker" or the "baby" Now she is a she. And she is called by her name.
