Help! DP has started calling our baby 'shrimpy' and I hate it. I need a new name asap before it sticks!! Bean is out (still call DS2 bean as a nickname today) as is peanut (DS1 calls his private parts his peanuts)!!

Please help me come up with a better name! TIA

Both of my two were called Skippy (from the bush kangeroo_ shows my age). It is a nice bouncy, friendly name that helped to tie me to the baby during " the under construction " phase. My db baby was called spike.

Called my nephew while in bump "ignatious".
Totally stupid & very unlikely to be a name that would be chosen.
I hate babies being referred to as "it".
His first visit to my house after being born was with a build a bear dog called "ignatious " for his auntie. It is one of my most prized possessions.

We called DS1 'Lil Ali' as he looked like a little alien in the scan pictures lol
I am currently pregnant and this one has been called 'the resurrection' as she also looks terrifying in the scans lol

My partner and I call mine junior.... I think it's gonna stick regardless of gender

Pip, short for Pippo-the-Hippo (as the top of my bump felt what I imagine a hippo bum to feel like.

Also 'the pip' for when she was moving and being a pip 😍

Oddly enough my ex started calling my bump a name after the size the baby was at the time for the life of me cannot remember the name now!

However I called the "bump" by his nickname from day one and now by the name he will be given when he arrives in a few weeks!

I don't do "bump names".

Gotadolly · 07/03/2017 19:01

Ours was Worm because he looked like he was doing "the worm" on our first scan!

meganorks · 07/03/2017 19:26

Bump 1 was 'Buddy' (said like the narwall says it in Elf). Bump 2, can't remember!
