Baby's nickname

[Rauby]

When I was pregnant with my little girl we decided not to find out the sex, so until we met her we named her 'little bean'. We still call her that now, but now we've expanded into 'pickle' too. I'm curious to know what nicknames everyone has given their babies, before or after birth?

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Bean is common. Ours was bean. He's now 21. It didn't stick

[RefuseTheLies]

My dd was and is 'bug'. She's nearly two now.

[CrystalMethHog]

Our DS is bobs. No idea why, his real name isn't even close!

[AccrualIntentions]

Not born yet, but so far it's the gremlin.

[ASqueakingInTheShrubbery]

Tiberius, as DH wanted to name the baby after Captain Kirk, regardless of sex. We didn't call her Tiberius, and she now has a nickname loosely associated with her actual name but not related to to the word itself.

[TeaAndToast85]

The little smurf. God knows why

[BikeRunSki]

Mini C, where C is our surname.
We also drove a car of this name at the time.

[FartnissEverbeans]

Sausage. I don't know where that came from but I'm surprised he doesn't think it's his real name!

Now that he's bigger he's also Cuddlemonster

[thethoughtfox]

Tummy Bunny ( cause I used to picture a bunny thumping its feet on my insides when she would kick me)

[Dreams16]

Tinker poo 😂 the one nickname I use for my DS

[Youvegotafriendinme]

We found out we were having a boy but decided to keep the name to ourselves until he was born. We called him Gaston. Me, DH and all our friends and family referred to him as Gaston. Once he was born it wasn't said again. He does has one aunty who calls him baby G though.
Me and DH now call him the beastie

[Gillian1980]

Bubsy.

She sometimes calls herself Bubsy too so perhaps we need to use her actual name more!!

[wildone81]

We have a chicken, which bears no resemblance at all to her actual name! Husband also affectionately calls her shtinky....

[UserThenLotsOfNumbers]

Boo

[RosyPony]

Our family life is just a series of constantly evolving nicknames, even the dog.

[queenofthedump]

Our dd was Derek before she was born.

[Santawontbelong]

Ds 5 told everyone on holiday he was having a db called Oleg soon!!
Def wasn't but ds now 3 has a worse nn really!!

[ohfourfoxache]

Ours didn't have nicknames before they were born.

But we now have a Squiggles and a Scrunch!

[dontquotemeondailymail]

Spud! No idea how it came about though

[DappledThings]

Moo and variations on a theme; Mootron, Mooboo, Monkey Moo and once when DH was really running with it - Mootros Mootros Ghali.

[EssentialHummus]

Was the creature in pregnancy, now Squidge/Squidgey.

[emmeline7725]

Chops!

Us too!

[Mumof3wunnerfuls]

My youngest (dd) is nearly 4 and wencall her schnitzy. Have no idea why. The other is chickaletta.

[Lemondrop99]

Our bump never evolved a nickname. He just gets called Baby. But it's Baby used like a name, which feels nicer than 'the baby'
