What do you call your babe?

[Ennjay]

I hear people referring to their babies by so many different names! What do you call your LO?

Do you mean baby? As in newly born human? My dd now 21 will always be the baby of the family. We have always called her by her name.

Grumps, as she was a very grumpy baby.

I hear people referring to their babies by so many different names! What do you call your LO?

Possibly because their are so many different names? Be boring if we were all called George...

I also came on this thread to see if you were referring to a significant other or a baby.

Wee golden for my eldest we called my youngest baby until he was about 2 as that's what his big brother called him.

Baby
Bubba
Sunshine
Sweetheart
Darling
Bugger
Bugger lugs
Pudding

My DD (like Ddog) has endless nicknames. When she was tiny she was just "Bubba G" (name begins with G). As she gets older I just call her whatever comes to mind. Usually if DH and I are talking about her to each other we refer to her as The Child. She gets annoyed and we chuckle and carry on. Great parents all round really.

Eldests shortened name is Izzie and I call her whizz, youngest is nicknamed bear.

Beanie
Baba
Monster
Pumpkin
Little Bear
Chunk
Little Poo

He does have a name but it's rarely used 😂

I call my 2yo niece ‘Chicken’

My 25 week bump is called The Baby/Baby or more recently we’ve decided on Mabel so have tried to start using her name.

Toad 'as in don't eat/touch/throw that you little toad'

Or

Darling, love, sweetie when he's being any of those things

The baby is ratbag, or poppet.
Depending on what mood she is in!
The eldest is princess, or creature!

Babsy boo
Busby
Pigeon
Tiny man

Chicken ,sweet pea ,the youngest who is disabled and very small and cute gets " my little munchkin "

The boy has been called pips or pipsqueak since he was very small. He was always really small for his age, his nana started calling him pipsqueak and it's stuck. Even though he is now 15 and as far away from small as you could get!

DD gets called Doobs or The Doobs. She is Ruby, nicknamed ruby dooby which then just got shortened to Doobs :)

Poppet, lovely, darling - equally to both

DS1: Noodle, monster munch

DS2: Shnookey, shnoodle, squishy. This morning when he bit me: 'you absolute little horror'.

Both of them were 'bean' before they were born.

Mr
Puppy
Sausage
Little pie

DS: mister Christopher, monkey boy, Christopher, frog legs, chubby baby, chunky monkey (he's not quite 2 yet but was a massively fat baby thanks to his feeding habits and guzzling my breast milk)

DD: monkey girl, Charlotte, sparrow legs, (DH still trying to figure out what he'll call her as monkey girl doesn't have the same ring to it) (she's also 3 weeks old so plenty of time for nicknames)

DD 1year:
Squish/squidge butt
Chunk
Princess
Baby
Sweetheart
Cheeky
Beautiful
Lily bum

DS 4 years:
Bum butt
Stinky
Boy-o
Cheeky
Sweetheart
Handsome

Sweetheart (both of them)

First one: Small Thing, Dribbleface Wrigglebottom (self-explanatory).

Second one: Bunny. Don't know why. Animals wasn't something that had ever seemed appropriate with Small Thing, but his brother became Bunny from very early on.

Only sweetheart remained to the walking/talking stages. Oh, and gorgeous.

Baby Bear when he was little. Now he’s a teenager, either his name or honey.

Chicken
Petal
Flower

His name, or Butthead.

He is ten, usually retaliates with "mother" or "pooface".

Squidgy. When she was teeny it was Squidgy McGorgeous. For a long time I worried that she wouldn’t answer to her actual name .

Darling/my love.

DD 18 mo is still "the baby" when I'm talking to my DP about her, but use her name when talking to her, calling her etc.
