Ds1 was called "Flump" which was "fat lump" shortened

DD was called "lucy" because DS decided he was having a sister at 12 weeks - he was correct and she is still Lucy now!

THIS baby (points to odd shaped bump) is known as baby Eb. I was taking the P out of OH saying he was mean and i refered to the baby as baby ebeneezer and it's kinda stuck. even my DCs call him baby Eb. i think i may even consider "Eben" as a name when he is born!! although it might be weird explaining why he was called that!!!

DD was called Tad until we found out at 20w scan that she was a DD, after that she became a Bernice. I was a bit worried that I'd always think of her as bernice and not her real name, but thankfully, once she was here I never once thought of her as Bernice.

Now pregnant with no 2 who is currently known as "squiglet"

DD was Carrot Heed as a bump... it's a long story

pookamoo · 08/07/2008 10:12

We started out with "the Speck" but now it's a bit lot bigger it's the Bump or Baby (not very original!)

HappyNewMum2Be · 08/07/2008 10:12

Junior - no idea why!

I also do not look like Arnold Swazenegger

DanJARMouse · 08/07/2008 10:16

DD1 was baby-bump, later to become poppet

DD2 was chunks, later to become boo

DS was little man later to become danny-boy

flossish · 08/07/2008 10:18

DS was tomato. Because he was around the size of one when we started to get excited about having a baby.

DD was just... no name. poor thing!

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 08/07/2008 10:23

Valerie .... because we always knew she'd be a singleton.

Bumperlicious · 08/07/2008 11:10

I didn't have one. I don't know why but I just couldn't bring myself to call it the "bean" or "prawn" ! Don't know why it makes me feel that way though!

Bobbin

We called the first one Parsley. There seemed to be a lot of little ones around called Coriander and Sorrel(we were living in Hampstead at the time!), so we went for a gender-neutral herb! No time to name the next one - we struggled enough to chose a real name.

sleepychunky · 08/07/2008 11:51

My DS was Percy - my sister gave him the name when I told her I was pregnant at 6 weeks. We didn't know it was going to be a boy though. Next time round think it will be Baldrick or Melchett.

LadyThompson · 08/07/2008 11:57

Frogmella. Or sometimes Regeldis.

DS was baby bunny pie (or BBP for short)

mibbes · 08/07/2008 13:06

Hippo - because that is what s/he looked like at the 12 week scan

TheApprentice · 08/07/2008 13:25

gladders · 08/07/2008 13:45

ds was blob (after we showed everyone v early scan pics that they couldn't decipher...)

dd was smudge (for similar reasons - "see that smudge there? that's the baby")

DrNortherner · 08/07/2008 13:51

Didn't have 1 for ds. I was Alfie Crackerbarrell for some strange reason.
