...to not give my unborn child a cute nickname...

[Ariel21]

Seriously. I've been calling it "The Foetus".

Anyone else?

I have used the name Bernard and Horace for my foetus' on account of not liking cutesy names.

Velociraptor!

We called DS Gilbert when he was still a bump...

I had some time off work with morning sickness and a colleague text to ask how I was feeling. I happened to mention that DS was the size of a grape. When I returned to work, there was a grape on my desk with a face drawn on it, and a post-it next to it saying 'Gilbert Grape'. So Gilbert stuck!

When I had my 20 wk scan, I had a text from another colleague to ask if I was carrying a Gilbert or a Gilberta! They were all most disappointed that we didn't actually name DS Gilbert!

My bump was called Winston.

I used to call it by the size of a food it was at the time. My baby book used to say its the size of a poppy seed, it's the size of a orange etc.

I think the one from Emma's diary was monkey but I'm not very sure because I put my Emma's diary in the bin as soon as I got home from the doctors.

I remember the abomination that was Emma's Diary. Sickening. However I was practically inhaling pregnancy information in the early days so read absolutely everything given to me. The bump was called 'flump' I think.

I can't explain it but I can't stand it when people call them 'peanut'.

DS was Frankenstein.

Mine is called Douchbag.

Mine was/ is Ripley from the Alien movies.

Mine was Bubba.

DS was Emma the Embryo, particularly useful in the early days & no one knew, so I could mention Emma to DH.

Then he became the latest fruit from the What To Expect app, mango, papaya, cauliflower...

Now at 5 months old he is Bean, because he is one.

Ds was the squatter, dd1 was minime and dd2 was blobby.... Yanbu to not have a name though!

It or the baby here. Boring as I know but can't be doing with Bean/Sprout etc

DS (PFB) was The Lizard when he was on board.
And weirdly, when he was born I never called him "my baby" .He was always "My Son".

DD is still called "Baby Girl" and she's nearly 11 yo

Ds was peanut and bean and is still called both at times (now 19mths)

DS2 is currently getting referred to as Sue. We can't think of a suitable, gender appropriate name that we both like!

DD was 'fatty'.

I hate 'the baby', or worse, 'baby'

'The baby' or 'the fetus' as that's what it is. Cannot abide cutesy nicknames.

Made the mistake of telling the husband that it's the size of a pea (allegedly). He then referred to it as pea as I left the house. LTB?

Mine was 'the sprog'

DS was 'the thing' or 'the foetus'. now he is 'the child'
we do not do cute at all

We called DD2 Dave.

Ours is just Bean

"The monster"
