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?

Lots if things starting with cheeky:
Cheeky monkey
Cheeky beeky
Cheeky bean
Cheesy bean

Dodge and fluff

Ds1 - pally
Ds2 - stinky pig
Ds3 - manny man

When saying goodnight to ds2 though I add on wee extra bits to make him laugh, tonight he was "sweet and sour angel fish stinky pig" 😂

DD is Squidge or Squidgy McGorgeous. She seems to like it and adds middle names for herself.

We also sometimes call her Moomin - she misheard “human” as Moomin and announced that she was an independent Moomin age 3.

Marshmallow because his names Marshall and he was a fat squishy lump of sweetness when he was a baby 🤣

Bum bum
Piglet

Soft lad

DD is Sausage or Saus. It's what my Mum called me when I was little.

DS is Tada (Sanskrit for mountain). Started as a joke, as he was premature and tiny, and it is like his name.

Dd called Bluebell, nickname Blooby, or BloobyDoobyShoobyDooby 😁 (also our dog is Pippa, aka PipolataChipolata!😁)

@duckme I was wondering if that might happen! What about push?! I'm in the south east 😊

@ILoveYou3000 like m-oo-sh, but a short oo not long like a cows moo?! Sorry I'm doing a terrible job of explaining 😂

I was known as Wally Wombat (or The bottomless Pit) throughout my childhood. I still get the occasional call of "Wombat" in my thirties
I promise it is a term of endearment not an insult. No idea where it came from.

My middle son is called Small. His older brother was a huge baby and he’s always been smaller in comparison but is now 14 and 6ft. He doesn’t seem to mind though.

Oh and the Lesser Spotted (insert name here) because he was always in his room and it was quite the occasion when he emerged!
