Peanut

[narkymum]

I kid you not this was the nick name for bump throughout friends pregnancy but baby born yesterday and she says she can not imagine calling him anything else now

The blob at birth has grown into the Blob meister as a toddler.

She can call him that but it wouldn't go down to well when trying to apply for a serious job as an adult would it?

And what if he has a nut allergy?! That would be too cruel

dh often calls our ds Ted (as in Teddy Bear) yet this is not his name! as if being a toddler isnt confusing enough

Peanut as a nickname is lovely... As a real name is bordering on criminal!!!

My DSDs have had various nicknames - from fuitloop to cupcakanator... but they still have real names...

Now, I feel glad knowing that 'bump' is a boy, and we've already given him a name.... thankfully, peanut, Mr. Bump and blobby are off the agenda!!

We had a 'proper' set of names (3!) for dd while she was a bump. One look at her told us we were wrong. We called her Pebbles until we could find the right name for her. Took me a while to adjust, and I wish I never had, though she is grateful.

Yet another reason why people should find out the sex of the baby they are carrying - so they can start calling it by a real name while in the womb

the bump was called ota because combined with DS's name became the make of a car. took ages to call DD by her proper name and she still gets called everything but

DS has been everything from foo man choo to munster. i am now only allowed to refer to him as munster if we're alone at home. he says at 10 he shouldn't need a nickname muchless one we've used since he was a baby :-(
