Name for girl's bits????

Weird question I know but!
We have a 3yr old son and obviously he refers to his bits as his willy but we now have a baby daughter too.
What is the concensus as to acceptable words for girl's bits???

I just call them bits

WigWamBam · 28/06/2005 14:38

We just call our dd's her bits. And it's not such a weird question; it gets asked quite often!

lilaclotus · 28/06/2005 14:40

well we either call it 'front bottom' or 'poep' (which is the dutch word for bottom).

lol

WigWamBam · 28/06/2005 14:43

Oooh, I just hate front bottom ... makes me cringe (it's what my mother used to call it, and it's just so twee!)

lilaclotus · 28/06/2005 14:45

it comes from when i give her a shower. "wash your front bottom, and your back bottom" and it's now stuck. but poep makes her giggle like mad

PandaBear · 28/06/2005 14:47

We call it a mini

julen · 28/06/2005 14:48

Lilaclotus, 'poep' in Dutch means pooh..! Grin.. Try 'spleetje'

lilaclotus · 28/06/2005 14:51

i know it does, but it also means bottom. it's one of the reasons it makes her giggle so much!

tis a Noonie in our house

As in 'Mummy I've got sand in my Noonie' after a day at the beach

lucy5 · 28/06/2005 14:55

my dd calls it a twinkle

everythingandnothing · 28/06/2005 15:11

I like "Noonie". My DD asked me what you call it the other day and could not think of anything to call it, I just told her that the was where her wee's came out. Not very inventive.

jjash · 28/06/2005 15:17

dd calls hers a lulu ! No idea where it that name came from though.

Anchovy · 28/06/2005 15:45

We've just bitten the bullet and gone with "fanny" - nothing mystical or romantic sounding there. At the weekend DD (20 months) came out of the paddling pool in front of her grandparents walking like John Wayne, clutching her groin theatrically, and said "Oh dear. Wet fanny"

expatinscotland · 28/06/2005 15:45

Lou lou.

welshmum · 28/06/2005 15:50

It's a fanny in our house.
As in 'I've got to have a shower - I've come back from Glastonbury with mud in my fanny' (my sister I hastened to add - not my child)

Dahlia · 28/06/2005 15:51

We say 'bits'

Mama5 · 28/06/2005 15:51

We call it Muffy! Funny when the kids watch Arthur but its been 10 years now and its been fine!

hamster · 28/06/2005 15:56

LOL

As a child, with my 2 sisters and 1 brother, my mother refered to the front bum as; A "dink" for a girl and a "willy" for a boy.
As I've got older I've stuck to the "willy" thing, but now refer to ladies bits as either, a "lady garden" or a "foo"

Spongebob · 28/06/2005 16:00

We called it a "witsy-bitsy"

handlemecarefully · 28/06/2005 16:10

twinkle here....

although dd got confused by the nursery rhyme for a while and started calling it her 'star'....

QueenFlounce · 28/06/2005 16:12

Fanjeeta!!! I love that word.

sandyballs · 28/06/2005 16:24

It's a winkie woo in our house . No idea why!

aaliyahsmum · 28/06/2005 16:27
