My baby is 10 weeks old and I don't think I've called him his actual name once yet!

Pudding
Pudding pie
Fluffy bum
Sweetie
Gorgeous boy

These all suit a snuggly baby far better than an actual name Smile

My DD was called iBab before she was born and she is called ChloCat now. My DS was called Herbert /Herb/Herbie / iBab3 as a ‘bump’ and is now Charlie Chops, Chopster, Chopsicle, the Choppiness, Charlie Choppy Chops.😂

My two get any one of these, and they answer to them every time; butt face, butt munch, monkey face or monkey chops.

My dd now 7 still gets smee, smeech or smeechy! Can't fully remember why but something to do with her laughing at the name mr smee in Peter Pan when she was only a few month old!

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 06/04/2019 01:47

Squidge or Skidge, sometimes Pigeon. They were called a completely different name in utero that we never use now! I was a Boo, sometimes even now at nearly 40....

DD was The Bun. And still is, often.

insancerre · 06/04/2019 07:26

Ds was jam pud as it rhymed with his name
Dd was alibongo

DinosApple · 06/04/2019 07:27

We've got no imagination, both ours were known as The Baby. The youngest still is and she's 8 (eldest is 9).

And if we are talking about them they are referred to as The Babies. So long as we don't do it I'm public they don't mind.

Pretty sure they always will be known as that in the same way my 90yo gran still refers to my 70yo dad. Grin
