yes ds was flipper

dd was 'The Mango', as at the scans we had, the staff kept on refering to the size of the baby in comparison to fruit! I realised at a point later on that watermelon size had probably been reached....but the thought of birthing a mango was more acheivable

Sadly for my fanjo, she was more a prize marrow size in the end ....

Bump was called 'Boo' as It was an unexpected pregnancy and I was going to call her after a female character in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (Harper-lee or Maudie)

But Boo turned out to be a Boy Boo and his name has nothing to do with TKAMB... C'est la vie!

From the 14-week scan, Foxy or Squirrel (looked like a small animal with a big fluffy tail), but from 17 weeks onwards he's been Squirmy, for obvious reasons.

My SIL's was known as Thumpy Fetus McBloodAxe during the last month...

DH called DD 'Depressed Wardrobe Cheesecake' (or DWC for short) whilst she was in utero after reading an article on the most ridiculous names people had named their children.

jollydo · 08/07/2008 14:46

Another 'bean' here for ds1. Then 'pea' for ds2.

Ponymum · 08/07/2008 15:18

Beeny to start with.
Now (30 weeks) called Kicker Squirmy-Wriggle.

Big Boots!

barbareebaa · 08/07/2008 18:08

fish!

DH comes home from work and always asks me how the little fish has been!

It's becoming a rather big fish now though

fruitstick · 08/07/2008 18:13

first one was called Wilbur

this one is called Cuthbert

Flumpybumpy · 08/07/2008 18:20

DD & DS were both Flump and this one is too, hence my name flumpybumpy!!!

Millsie1 · 08/07/2008 18:21

The Sprout for the first 7 months. Now Sprouticus Maximus.

wa11ace · 08/07/2008 18:45

DD 1 was bert- don't ask where it came from, but I couldn't face calling her "it" for 9 months! Funny but in my head bert and DD are 2 completely different people now, mainly I think because I was convinced she was a boy!!

DD 2 was titch, as my bump was sooo small, for so long. Still call her titch now, even though she's up on the 75th centile on the graph thingy!!!

fizz68 · 08/07/2008 19:08

Both my babies were known as Englebert - as were me and my sister. It's such a stupid name, there's no danger of it sticking once baby's here.

McDreamy · 08/07/2008 19:09

Elvis Moonbeam

TheMuppetMuggle · 08/07/2008 19:11

DD was bean, her nickname is still bean

pelvicflawed · 08/07/2008 19:58

Ds was peanut (in honour of the beloved peanut butter I couldn't eat!!). DC2 is walnut - we're nut loving veggies so there is a bit of a theme going on!!!

Bewilderbeast · 08/07/2008 19:59

Ds was charlie when he was a bump, he is not charlie now

LauraT · 08/07/2008 20:32

Bumpo. imaginative, yet strangely catchy!

lovebeingmummy · 08/07/2008 20:35

Lo was called Egg, dont know why. Then when we found out she was a dd at the 12 week scan we called her egglet, and we do still call her that now and again xx

MummyLovesPrams · 08/07/2008 20:37

DD was Noodle!

This one was Jelly Bean or JB for short & then became Little Man after the sexing scan

Xx

elijahblue · 08/07/2008 21:05

DS was Flud (no idea why!)
DD was Sprout
