I have a son and have just had a baby girl. DS has already remarked that she doesn't have a willy and wanted to talk about it. The bit that stumped me was deciding what to call her genitalia. All we could think of either sounded too anatomical (eg vagina) or too euphemistic (eg. flower). I couldn't think of anything that I felt really comfortable with. Is there a 'willy' type name that other people use?

Don't laugh, we say Minnie! I heard a friend say it years ago and thought it was funny and it has become a habit.

I think Minnie, that we use, is not so sweet as it sounds as its baby talk for minge!!!!!

Mum2Ela · 09/01/2004 10:06

Found it!

Its under Parenting - 'Calling all mums of DD's '

Soz, can't link.

Only found it cos I posted on there that we call it a 'foof' and I searched using 'foof'!

Loobie · 09/01/2004 11:38

Us too my dd has a foof and the boys have a man.Thought the flower thing a bit hard as ds1 is autistic and new fine well that THAT was NOT a FLOWER.

Kazziegirl · 09/01/2004 11:50

Like Hana we use Front bum which seems to work okay at the minute. Sure it will change in time.

Clarinet60 · 09/01/2004 11:51

I've heard people calling it their 'in-betweens' (between the legs), but you may think this too euphamistic (sp). DS1 has been asking why don't girls have willy's lately, and how do they go to the toilet. I just said they have a kind of little spout, as he caught me unawares. It is hard knowing what to say without being too graphic at this stage.

Nunny

As in (v loud) " When I grow up I'm going to have hair on my nunny as well, aren't I", in Kendals crowded loos. Exit past sniggering line..........

Lisa78 · 09/01/2004 13:44

twinkle - we only have boys and actually use this to refer to the dogs bits!
She had an infection in it last year, the vet was mystified when I said she seemed to be having problems with her twinkle...
V embarrassing

emmatmg · 09/01/2004 14:12

codswallop · 09/01/2004 14:13

I failed

donnie · 09/01/2004 14:15

we call it a minnie too.

Levanna · 09/01/2004 22:32

We call it a 'tutti'.
If I have a boy, just out of fairness, I'll make up a completely different name for his bits (as opposed to the usual too!) I have a friend who encouraged her children to call it the 'yonni' this is an Eastern (as far as I remember!) accurate word for all the 'outer' parts of the female reproductive system. She used the accurate term of the same language for her boys parts.
My MIL suggested 'tutti' actually, as it was what children in the family in her generation used, and I thought it would be nice for my DD that at least her family would know what she was going on about, and be completely comfortable with it, as they've always used it!
