My DS (2 1/2) has just said we should call the baby Chips . Well, they are his favourite (even though he seldom gets them). Made DH laugh his behind off when i phoned him at work. Really cheered him up.

yama · 16/02/2010 18:45

Could be spelt Retyla. Not sure.

Barry the Baby

Liking PooPooHead.

My dc1 was asked what we should call dc2. The suggestion was Wabo-Abo (I'm guessing about the hyphen, she was only 15 months old at the time).

Ds wanted to call Dd Clarabel and then when he saw decided monkey would suit her better.

DD named DS Douggie

She called my bump it right through, we didn't know he was a boy until he was born and couldn't agree on a boys name so it stuck. He has another name as his official first name but is only ever called Douggie

My DD (then nearly 2) wanted our DS to be Jesus for a boy or LaLa for a girl!

tummytickler · 16/02/2010 20:44

My 4 year old dd wants to call a sister Shirley or Elizabeth!

Tobermory · 16/02/2010 20:48

Inspired by the book character, my DD (2.9) thinks our baby should be called Spot!

Not on the short list!!

PandaEis · 16/02/2010 20:52

my DD has made it clear that any and all siblings must be called Ben 10 i wouldnt mind Ben so much but the 10 bit adds a little too much to the name IMO she called both our fish, MILs 3 fish and also Dhs cousins boyfriend Ben 10 and refuses to change or waver on it DHs cousins BF is called Steve BTW hes not so taken with Ben 10

Heated · 16/02/2010 20:57

Ds has suggested Elizabeth or...Gordon

Dd wants a duck.

MrsWillis · 16/02/2010 21:42

DS wanted us to call DD 'baby'. We didn't but that is what he calls her and gets very upset when she doesn't answer him.

Woofie · 16/02/2010 21:48

Dss (aged 4) on birth of ds: Rocky or Quality.

Ds on current pregnancy: Frankie or Alarmclock. (Dss, now 9: Voldemort)

hophophippidtyhop · 17/02/2010 07:28

My nephew thinks we should call the baby Superfox -not sure where that's from, but he is obsessed with anything superhero-ish.

crankytwanky · 17/02/2010 07:30

DD(7) wants Barry for a boy.

bogie · 17/02/2010 12:03

Bond or Bonda?!?

I was 4 when my db was born my Mum and Dad couldn't decide a name so when the midwife asked what she sould write on his wrist band they let me choose.......... so he has a wrist band saved in a baby book saying his name is Julifer Elton Chuck

HappySeven · 17/02/2010 14:05

Woofie - I'm loving Voldemort, I might start saying that when people ask if we've chosen yet (currently saying Herod "as it's such a pity it went out of fashion because of one man 2000 years ago").

birdofthenorth · 17/02/2010 15:21

My DSS has suggested Upsy Daisy for a girl or Mr Incredible for a boy!!

Some of DH's suggestions aren't much better though!!!!
