Hello everyone

I am setting up a website and need an original and funky name !

What is the word "BABY" in your language ?

Please give me both the proper word and any slang words you have in your language.

Hopefully your input will give me some bright ideas Smile

Hebrew: it is actually 'tinok' - the o is pronounced like you pronounce 'pot'.

wain - which could be slang, but it's Irish-ish.

If anyone here says 'bubba' I will swear.
