If your grandchild was given your childhood pet name what would they be called?

Thankfully my pet name died out when I was very young or I'd really pity any future great grandchild been called Didding.
What horror could be inflicted on yours?

Shu-shu
I was thinking about that on the bus this morning! Imagining that one of my children's grandchildren used the name shu shu for their child! After saying my son was a bad parent due to the way he was brought up.
My mind couldn't go there.
