What nickname did you give your baby boy?

We've gone for a name for our baby not that can't really be shortened or made 'cute' for a baby.

I'm just curious if you gave your baby boy a nickname, if so - what was it?

Pudding
Harribo (this actually ties in with his name though!)

Babab. He still gets called that at 6!

And "boot". Not even sure where that came from !

DS1 - Bud. Mostly from DH, he'd always pick him up and say "come on then Bud", he's 16 now and it still gets used occasionally! DS2 was Chicken Little but it didn't stick after the age of about 3/4.

Roo
Tot
Bear, or the baby.

I think nick names naturally evolve and even names that can't be shortened, will be.

We called him Sweet pea when he was very little, which has now been shortened to pea- he's 7 now

Meerkat from 6 months he would stand bolt upright on my hip like he was the little meerkat lookout Grin

Scoot.

Something to do with the way he'd propel himself around at high speed, even before he could walk?

Come to think of it, we named one of our sailing dinghy's Scoot after himSmile

Scrum

Kintan · 25/11/2018 20:34

We call him his-name+bear, mr froggy legs, goosey-boo, squibby, baby bear+surname. All kinds of things really. He is only nearly two though so I’m sure a lot of these names will become defunct along the way!

Lol, this got me thinking about the name my mum called me.
I was Bugalugs and my sister was Boogaloo
Our boys are nowhere near as entertaining
