suitable name(s) for female genitals

[julwil]

Does anyone have a suitable name that we can use as a family? So far I'm stumped - vagina (too clinical), front bum (eurgh!), I've seen 'flower' used on mn, but would welcome any other suggestions

I always think that vagina sounds like the name of a girl at a posh boarding school -- 'Come on Vagina or we'll be late for the gymkhana!'
But I can't think of a better word. Ds1 as a small child couldn't quite say 'vagina' and so shortened it to 'jar' -- a bit of a blokey term, but I liked it.

...though I only have boys so the issue doesn't come up much.

I refer to mine as privates or my bits when quizzed about them by ds's - couldn't possibly use Vulva as FIL has a Volvo.

Went to dr's with ds1's sore willy the other day & Dr knew exactly what we were talking about & didn't book me in for counseling

Whatever you call them once they are a certain age they'll come home from school calling them dick,nob, fanny, minge & much worse.

DH says he likes Quim??

I haven't read the whole thread, apologies if this one has come up already. I have three sisters and us 4 girls used peach. This is now in use with our children .

Front bottom is truly sad. I feel it is for parents who have sex once a fortnight in the missionary position (I fear the man thanks the woman afterwards, politely of course). They wear camel M&S cardigans (from the Classics range) at the weekends.

i havent read all the thread either, but for me and my dd its 'me-me'.

We use 'front bottom' and 'willy' ....although DD (2.8) has independently renamed them both as 'benny'

I've already started teaching her 'vulva' well. I have to admit that I cringed inwardly and ducked the issue when she pointed at her clitoris and asked what it was. She decided that it was her 'little benny'. Argh.

Am lol at F&Z's suggestions on back fanjo, side nose etc. I hadn't thought of that. But will be sticking with front bottom nonetheless.

This thread apears every 2 months, doesn't it.

There will always be those who scream VULVA, but just to annoy my DH Iv'e settled with fanjo, curtesy of MN, of coarse.

Also, do the parents who dislike euphemisms/slang names also teach their DCs to say anus and buttocks (or perhaps gluteus maximus....errr should that be glutea maxima?).

FWIW someone once pointed out that calling it the 'vagina' is like calling your face an oesophagus. Anatomically incorrect.

Still haven't got a decent alternative in my home tho

caroline1852 you've described me & dh to a T
