Our first one we called "Smaug" from the Hobbit. I'm a literature teacher so no one was too surprised Once we knew it was a girl though, she just became baby girl til she was born!

First was leech, second was .... I will remember later, but equally endearing. Not sure for this one yet. Thinking shrimp.
Eta-second one was the larva!

Two be honest for me it’s too early for this pregnancy to feel real and bond with it enough to have a nickname! I think I’ll come up with someone once I get to that first scan milestone. The nickname for my DD was butterbaby aha
@hayhay2501 Same!! I’m sure it’ll change with time, but despite all the symptoms I’m feeling it doesn’t quite feel real yet so I have no nickname in my head yet.
My first was “pumpkin” because she was due right near Halloween! 🎃
H is pushing jellybean, but it just doesn’t feel personalized for this one. I think I’ve been saying June bug in my head, but I just googled them, and geez those things are creepy looking. Maybe “tad” short for tadpole? Still searching for the right fit. Can’t wait to decide on a legal name later on. 😬
My friend called her second baby "Sequel"--thought that was pretty cute!
I'm in the still undecided what I'll call my little one. Maybe something will come to me after the first ultrasound. I like hearing all of your ideas so far, though!
Babybot lol! DS is a wild one and we called him crackpot one time while he was running around like a maniac and I ended up calling him crackbot because I thought it was funny
I'm leaning towards "bug" or "bugaboo". While we were engaged we had a conversation about kid names and all I remember was that we ended (jokingly) on "Beauford Ulysses" (last name starts with G, so initials would be BUG, which is kind of cute).
Husband wants something "cool" to say, like "Bugatti" (i.e. "the Bugatti's still in the garage")
I’m referring to this baby as junebug. My husband’s nickname for me has always been ladybug (or just bug for short), so it fits ❤️
The baby we lost previously we were referring to as (little) turkey. Mostly because we had planned on announcing that one at Canadian thanksgiving so “turkey’s in the oven” was our cutesy joke.
We sometimes call DS our little monkey, so we've referred to a second as "monkey two" throughout our year of TTC. I think we'll stick with monkey two until we find out more info!
We called DS "raspberry" when we first found out, because according to my LMP he should have been the size of a raspberry. Our BFP day was "raspberry day."
When I got pregnant with my daughter, we called her out little sea monkey. With our baby we miscarried, we called it bean. This pregnancy, I've been calling this baby Squishy. 😂 I hate referring to them as ITS. So I had to nickname all mine lol
Right now I am referring to it as the mic drop... we called the second "the encore" and seeing as this is a HUGE surprise, mic drop feels appropriate for now
So I have been calling the little one TJ, which is the first initials of me and my husband's first name. I guess it just stuck because DH has been calling the little one the same name LOL.

We’ve started calling the baby round two but I’m hoping we get something better ha. Last time we referred to my daughter as “it” most of the time so this is a lot better 😳😐
Since our first appointment earlier this week, we've been calling the baby "wiggle." Because they were so active during our scan. With our first, he was much earlier (gestational age) and we didn't to see him move until much later. Wiggle, however, was waving the whole time!
Re: GTKY - Nicknames for the Baby
I'm referring to this one as a little marshmallow..or just "mello."
