Naming of parts - what shall we call my dd's wotsit?

[PoppyField]

Ok I'm sure this ground has been covered in previous threads but me and DH are a bit stuck on this one. We have a 2 year old DD and need to fix on what we call her private parts. I'm all for calling it her bottom or botty - I don't feel the need to discriminate between 'front and back bottom', but DH seems to want to call front bottom something different. Obviously I know what it is like growing up as a girl so I feel I should have the casting vote - and having a 'botty' never did me any harm. Plus for some ridiculous reason, he calls her genitalia her 'wendy'. Has anyone EVER heard of this before? I don't know where he's got it from and it just makes me cringe every time I hear it, no doubt she'll pick it up very soon and then we'll be stuck with it!

So what do you think guys? Help please. I hate coy euphemisms but some are worse than others....so is it going to be botty, fanny, tush, latin terminology or what?

And how do I convince DH that 'wendy' is just the worst awful yuk euphemism ever?

Thanks all.

vulva.

my dd is 2 and says bum and bits.

Just go with wotsit.

Go on I dare you.

we call ds' things willy and bum, if i had a dd id probably say bum and either fanny or lulu

under frontal nethers here

I would just avoid peoples names (wendy, lulu, judy, mary, minnie etc) because you will inevitably meet someone, someday with that name and sniggering will be inevitable.

DS has willy and bum/bottom DD 14 months has girl's bit and bottom. I don't think it'll change as she gets older

DD, Flower and bum.
DS, willy and bum.

Oooh, I have been wanting to post this question for ages! I have ds so 'tis easy for me, but when he asks questions about boys and girls I wonder what to call it!

When I was young it was mini (but now ds would associate that with Minnie Mouse) and fanny. Friends called it lulu or mary. I agree with hazey though, no peoples names...

Ha ha at Wendy !!
Don't like fanny at all - very coarse.
Flower?

My dd has finally settled on a bit. Singular not plural. She peed her pants at her Aus godfather's name for his dd's - date.

Date?!!! :S

DS- bum & willy
DD- bum & noonie, (I've called mine this since I was little )

vulva

well i think that vagina is the bit inside, so if you wanted to be accurate it would be vulva.

vagina and vulva are horrible words though aren't they? well I think so anyway.
noonie is much nicer

This comes up every week, and still no decent answer. Why isn't there an equivalent of "willy"??

Anyway DD is now over 2 and I still haven't found anything that feels quite right. I think "girly bits" may be winning the day.

If I had a boy he would have a willy (penis and testicles for formal occasions only) so my DD is not having a vulva. Well she's got one, obv, but you know what I mean.

I agree, we need an equivalent to willy, a fem version. If boys don't have to call their bits by the proper title then why do girls?

My DD is 7 and we've always called it a mini but like others have said the inevitable sniggering comes along when someone is driving a mini or there's a mini this or that so it's not ideal.

Fanny is a bit coarse and is also a name albeit not a very popular one currently but a name none the less.

I have heard of it called a wendy before but she is bound to meet a Wendy and may very well have a goggle and then you'll have explain to said Wendy that in your house she's a vulva, nice.

I really don't like front bottom, it sounds like something from someone who can't bear to think of their vulva/vagina so is just lumping it together with whatever else is 'down there'.

How about something similar to willy, so girls really can have a similar alternative, something like gilly or dilly?

I grew up calling it a "lily" but as Lily is now a popular girls names it is probably not a good idea.

Friends little girls call theirs a "foo foo".

whats wrong with noonie????!!!

vulva isn't horrible. it's what it is. vagina is on the inside, not the bit you see from the outside. same with urethra. and anus.

For me I think noonie may be winning, although it is quite toddler sounding - what about when DC's are a bit older but not quite using street crass words like pussy??

Vulva. Honestly. What on earth is wrong with using correct terminology?

It's called 'gina (pronounced to rhyme with china) in our house - a slightly softened version of vagina (which yes, I know is not exactly right). I find all the diminuatives a bit creepy, but 'gina I can cope with.
