Anything that shortens to bump nickname?

Me and DH keep calling bump 'Chezzy', and while I realise it would be beyond cruel to call a baby girl this, I've become attached Blush and am wondering if there's a real name we could use and shorten so Chezzy is a nickname?

Cheryl and Francesca are all I can think of and they're not for me!

Chelsea or cherry (personally I'm not a fan but it is becoming popular). Chezzy reminds me of Chesney but that's more of a boys name.

Jessica?

You can use it as an affectionate nickname regardless of what you put on the birth certificate!

It might not stick anyway if our experience is anything to go by. Dd1 nicknamed her sister 'Raggles' (we eventually twigged this was after the rabbit in 'Everything's Rosie') when I was pregnant and we all ended up using the name all the time. I was convinced we'd use it as a NN when DD2 arrived but it never felt right once she was here.

You honestly want to call your dd chezzy?

Inbl00m · 15/07/2014 20:18

Ehric - No, that's the point. At this stage I'm just convinced I won't be able to stop. Ahem.

FatalCabbage I think this will happen anyway!

And yes, we know she's a girl.

DS3 was called Garry in utero. He has a weird nickname not related to his real name ... and neither of them is anything like Garry.

DD was Pip in utero and still is a lot of the time even though it bears no resemblance to her real name, but if you really want a name that fits i would go with Francesca

I knew a Cherry whose name was short for Geraldine.
Possibly could also work for you.

Our bump nicknames were selected at random with a finger in the 'begat' sections of the Old Testament.

We were never tempted to use them for 'real' names, although we had our friends and family worried for a long time.....

Boudica1990 · 15/07/2014 21:18

Chezanne is the only name I can think of.

Not to my taste but it's a possibility

StoneFoxMama · 16/07/2014 13:58

My aunt is Francesca known as Chessie. That could work and sounds a little less 'errrrrr, Chezza'.
