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...

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)

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.

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_)

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 !

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!
