IndulgeMePlease · 07/10/2007 22:03

Ha, I'll join in and then feel nauseated too...how come previously sane adults do call their DCs such ridiculous names? I feel sorry for mine when I call it them in front of people...

so, here goes:

DD: Pickle, Looby-Lou, Badger, Beaut, Twinkle, Tinkerbell

DS: Pudding, Sausage, Boster, Little One, Minkerty-Monkerty.

MInkerty-Monkerty is definitely the worst. I shall refrain forthwith...

ash6605 · 07/10/2007 22:03

My poor kids get "smell" and "chubs"
I know,i am a rotten mother!!

vole3 · 07/10/2007 22:04

Gremlin - because he must be fed loads of times before midnight and you mustn't get him wet (mainly because all the neighbours in my cul-de-sac know when it's bath time due to him hollering)

DumbledoresGirl · 07/10/2007 22:06

I don't want to say some of the names as it will give away their real names, but ds2 I call Knorr (as in the soup) pronouncing the K.

popsycal · 07/10/2007 22:07

ds1 occasionalyy gets teedub which is an abbreviation of his initias
ds2 sometimes gets bobo or bobes

but mostly they gte their name (or in ds1's case, the short version of their name_)

EllHell · 08/10/2007 00:15

I know what you mean about nauseating, Indulgeme... Dh's mate once heard me calling him to come to the phone by the name of 'Boo-Boo Bear' . No idea why (not a nickname I use for him all the time!)... it just sort of slipped out. Mate took the piss massively for ages and I have not been able to look him in the eye since. I mean 'Boo-Boo Bear'? WTF? I feel nauseated at myself !

OverRated · 08/10/2007 00:25

Sweetpea,
Poo, Boo (sort of rhyme with his middle name)
Bubble, Pumpkin,

shrooms · 08/10/2007 01:04

DS: Smoodge (?!), noodle
DD: Pumpkin, peanut, sniggle...

It's a wander they haven't packed up and left me.

ScaremyVile · 08/10/2007 01:07

Angel
Sausauge
lovelybum

PregnantGrrrl · 08/10/2007 11:14

pudding
chicken
monkey / monkey bum
bugger
bugger chops
bubbs

mostly though, it's Pedro-Tonto. For some reason i was talking to him in a faux Mexican accent one day, and was calling him Pedro Tonto, and it's stuck.

It's a wonder we registered him with a normal name at all really!
