GTKY: Nickname for baby

jilliant26 · August 2017

What are you and your SO calling baby before you know the sex and pick a name?

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here and that this is ok to do. I saw this on another board I'm on and thought it would be fun to do here too!

We are referring to baby as "Big Timer". It's the name of a drink we ordered on the night baby was conceived! It's a type of old fashioned. My husband ordered it, but didn't like it, so I drank it and thought it was delicious! Combine that with the cucumber mojito and lemon drop martini I also had that night, and DD spending the night with grandparents, and boom, "Big Timer" due 4/15! Haha!

Right now we're calling baby the fruit/whatever the Bump ticker says it's the size of that week. It's cute now while it's the sweet pea, but we may have to come up with something better before we have to start saying "the kumquat" and "the banana".

@kaymaroo That's what we did for DD. When she was at raspberry size, we would say "raspberries" because I was so ravenously hungry we were sure it was twins!

Slade, mostly because we are nerds, and it is funny.

This one we are calling llama

My son is calling it "Christopher" and we have NO idea where got that. LOL

We called my son "Frankenstein" or "Frankie" for short

Littlest bean. We have big bean, middle bean, little bean and now littlest bean. Lol

We originally went with "Chubs", which was re-using our nickname for the dog. We figured the little one deserved their own title, and are going with "Kebab".

My two year old calls her sibling "Little Baby" and kisses my belly.

DD was "the bean" and I can't think of anything I'm as cute or fond of for this one.

Mattel · August 2017

When we first found out and told DD, I showed her a picture of the baby at 5-6 weeks (I was only about 3 1/2 but there is nothing cute about a ball of cells!) and she said it looks like a seahorse. So, she refers to the baby as 1"Baby Seahorse" and it stuck.

The Ovia app asked me to choose a nickname and so Jellybean it is. Although, when I first thought of it "Jellybelly" came to my head when I really meant jellybean lol. So for the first week or so I called it Jellybelly until I realized I was not saying what I meant haha. Duurrr!

We are calling this baby Poppy for now, if it's a boy we might need to change it but it came from it being the size of a Poppyseed

looeeze · August 2017

@ella26 Why would you need to change the NN if it's a boy? i don't understand. Poppy seems pretty gender neutral.

heandmemakethree · August 2017

i have been calling it the "weird, cute animal" that it is the size of according to the Ovia app. Last week it was a waterbear. this week it is a dot snail. Very silly, but so are we!

He called it the 'bebe' (pronounced like beh-beh) which sounded super cute also.Calling it the baby (just the normal pronunciation) seems too early just yet as it gives more legitimacy to it. Once we have our first doctor appointment I am sure it will then be THE BABY sometimes.

hedgepig · August 2017

@heandmemakethree MH calls it bebé as well!

joyful08 · August 2017

We have just been calling it #2... very original

Knottie1468792800 · August 2017

The hubby and I call the baby little "squirrel" since that what it resembles at this point.

MrsF1017 · August 2017

We call the baby "nugget". Honestly, I have no idea why..lol

WillRunForWine21 · August 2017

We call the baby pipsqueak! We almost wanted to call our second Cat that name but decided on something else so it transferred to baby!

BarefootContessa · August 2017

Thus far baby has been referred to as "finale". This is it! I'm done!

whatabout2ndbreakfast · August 2017

I've been calling him/her muffin.

sjn00 · August 2017

I haven't called it anything. Not even a baby yet because its not really a baby at this point lol. My first got the nickname little monster some time in the 2nd trimester. Hopefully this isn't a 2nd little monster lol

Puddlewonderful · August 2017

First was Grifflet. Apparently he's one of the knights of the round table. My DH is weird.

Since this one is due in April, I've been calling it April Ludgate so far.

Sissy42 · August 2017

Our first was "The Tiny", the second was "Tiny Two", and so far this one has been dubbed "Baby" - although my H has occasionally called it "The Last Targarian".

maureenmce · August 2017

@Puddlewonderful Love/wish I had thought of that nickname, haha.

yagers · August 2017

I'm calling it my little Danish stowaway. My husband is working in Denmark and I came out to visit him for my birthday in July. Little did I know what kind of "souviner" I brought back with me!
