Nicknames for children in your DCs' other language?

DS is 5 weeks old. So far ILs have called him:

little brother
prune
cosy troll (my favourite)

What names do your DC get called in their other language?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Little flea
Little jackal-ou

Cosy troll is fab.

Little wolf
Little father (don't get that one at all!)
Flea
And another word I don't even understand!

The troll one is great

It's funny cos all the English relatives play around with his name for nicknames (eg. Tiny Tom - his name is not Tom) but the French just make up other nicknames...

fraktious - what on earth do they use for "little piece of rubbish". I'm running through all the options and I can't think of anything that I would call DS. (It is in French, right?)
