What silly or affectionate nicknames do/did you have for your kids?

[IAmJustWondering]

Or anyone - your friends kids / nieces / nephews / grandchildren?

I refer to my baby as "little potato" (in my Spanish: papa pequeña).

What silly or sweet nicknames or terms of endearment did you start using?

Weebles or weeb. When I was pregnant I kept saying I looked like a weeble with my big belly and it's just stuck. Shes only 10 weeks old at the min so will see if it stays!

My little sweet potatoes

Petit choufleur
Liebchen
TT (short for Tommee Tippee)
Pudding
Bab

He's in his 20s

Mush (pronounced like bush, not hush)

I'm assuming this is a regional thing because they sound the same to me!

I was also gonna say that - hush, bush and mush all rhyme to me too!

Her name - Bear
Eg Alice-Bear

My husband calls her Wee Beastie.

I love all of these so much!

Trub - short for trouble, then big trub and little trub. Eldest in his 30s and still occasionally trub! Youngest definitely still little trub!

Grumbles - because she was an unhappy baby who grumbled all the time due to tiredness but wouldn't sleep
Pukey - because he had reflux and colic as a baby and always puked up his feed constantly
Their nicknames rhyme with their names and we still call them it sometimes, they are 9 & 7 now

Gosh loads now I think about it- monkey, munchkin, munchie, trouble, troublesaurus, troublecopter, junior

I'm assuming this is a regional thing because they sound the same to me!

Idk about the original poster but the “u” in bush is closer to the front of my mouth than the “u” in hush. Not sure how else to explain it! I’m from the north east

My youngest has lots - pudding, pud pud, pudding pie, pudlington, noo noo, monkey moo, monkey pie, little big man, small stuff, number 2 etc etc He is 11

My eldest is 14 and has a couple but they sound similar to his actual name so I won't say them here. I also call him little big man, and child number 1

also. Hush. Bush. Mush. how can they be different?!!

Squiggle
Bubbaloo
An Italian-ised version of their name e.g: Tomaso instead of Thomas
[name]-doodles
Kitten

They are far too old for all these nicknames.

Hush rhymes with mush but not with bush!

Bush is pronounced "booh-sh" whereas hush and mush are muh-sh

My 1 year old son is:
Boofle bear
Smunchkin bum
Captain fat feet (he has very chubby feet!)

Squeaky. They both squeaked when babies!

Bird,Birdlington Bird,Baby,Buboo,monkey nuts,monkey moo

Boodle. Bod. Boddle. Zed. Zoo. Zooboddle. Mr Bod. There are others... He's a teenager now

Oldest- moo, Moomin, birdie, my beautiful.

Second- bambino, my little love, sweetie.

My DS is named Ethan Geoffrey, (Geoffrey after my dad) so I call him little G or little Geof

My DD is named Eloise so I shorten it to Ella, she sometimes gets Ella-boo

My Dad still calls me Sweet Pea and Poppet. I'm 45.

Our 5w-old was Lentejita (little lentil) throughout my pregnancy, as that's how big the ecographer said she was at our very early 1st scan.

My DH now calls her Morcillita (little black pudding) as she's filling out her babygros like a fat little sausage! (She's not fat, she's just catching up after being born a bit skinny!)

My son is Bean, I very rarely call him anything else.

Squidgle mostly. Also bumblebee, sweetpea or popsy on occasion
