Unborn Baby Nicknames

Just wondering what everyone calls their unborn babies? I'm struggling to think of something cute/fun other than what we called DS & don't want to use 'it'! Any suggestions?

I never gave my bump a NN but a friend called hers Peanut. Another one called theirs Lentil, which is now their DSs middle name.

Beanie, it is not our son's middle name!

Ours is Flump. I'm due on Monday, and so far am struggling to imagine calling her anything else Hmm

We won't actually call her Flump, obviously :o

Our dd was called Derek!

AnneH656 · 27/09/2012 19:58

This one kept poking me with his elbow so we called him Smouse- after Slap ma Elbow rapper from Angry Boys...

Tony!! That way it's unisex

sleepybump · 27/09/2012 20:01

Dc1 was Bug, this one is Button :)

Pascha · 27/09/2012 20:02

DS was Weeble. DC2 is Widget.

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 27/09/2012 20:04

Dd was bump, ds was baby, dc3 is tadpole.

vamosbebe · 27/09/2012 20:05

Pea. When we discovered Pea was a boy, it became Mr Pea. Everybody used it, to my delight: "how are you and Pea?"
Flump is fantastic Smile

COCKadoodledooo · 27/09/2012 20:07

Ds1 was Pugh, ds2 Barney McGrew. The baby I miscarried was Cuthbert. Was quite interesting explaining that one to the hospital chaplain!

PipIsOutNow · 27/09/2012 20:08

Pip! I loved it. He was pip all the way through the pregnancy. I'm 22 weeks on ds2 now but this bump doesn't have a nickname :(

SpottyTeacakes · 27/09/2012 20:09

Jeff Blush only to my sister and I though!

HaveALittleFaith · 27/09/2012 20:12

We haven't quite decided - probably decide after 12 week scan when we can feel more attached but I'm leaning towards Beanie myself. My sister called hers peanut and I had a friend who called hers Buzby. I really don't like Bubs Confused

How about Flubber? That way my postnatal baby weight could be referred to as Flubber flab! Grin

Flubba the Bubba Smile

karatekimmi · 27/09/2012 20:17

We had a flump here too!

Humphrey. Shortened to Hump the Bump. Or Humpety.

OddFrog · 27/09/2012 20:21

DS was Ralph. (permanent morning sickness pun) No NN this time round but no terrible symptoms either Smile

Homebird8 · 27/09/2012 20:21

DS1 was Flake ( as in snowflake). DS2 was Pip and DS3 was Gem.

As Flake didn't make it the first time we were decorating a room for the baby in waiting was for Pip. It was known as the Pip Pen!

Gem was Gem for a few days whilst we thought of a name after he was born Smile

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 27/09/2012 20:22

Pumpkin :)

Niceupthedance · 27/09/2012 20:25

Wolfie. And DS has a wolf-based middle name.

Just referred to DS as a pickle & suggested we use that for DC2 - DH loves it so I think we have a Little Pickle! Grin

Not that we're getting carried away! We only have 36+1 to wait until we meet LP!! Wink
