baby bump names

[cowbell]

What do people call their bumps? Just heard from a friend that they called theirs snowdrop. Often hear of peanut, pumpkin etc but wondered if there were others?

Weeble. He was breech and just wouldnt turn further than transverse - just like the weebles.

I wanted to have a bump name for DD, but never came up with anything that stuck... I asked #2 what I should call him/her & "Tulip" came into my head instantly, so that's what I call him/her (DH thinks having a name for the bump is ridiculous)

We called this one peanut, pretty ordinary, until my best friend's son (4) saw the 9 week scan picture and called him pebble which was much more descriptive at that time and nicer to say

Now call him by his name so we're used to it.

DD1 was my 'little parasite' due to morning sickness. This one is just bump as the morning sickness wasn't half so bad. Although I think he/she will be 'sack of cats' as they are just as wriggly as their big sister.

My bump is called Lentil because when I just found out I was pg I emailed hubby saying 'our baby is the size of a lentil, it's heart is beating 150 times a minute etc'. It freaked him out because suddenly it became real to him. And he has called it Lentil ever since. It's now more the size of a peanut, but I think it will be Lentil for the duration now :)

Ralph. I still call her Ralph even though we know she's a girl - Ralphette didn't have quite the same ring to it...

When DH and I were very young, we watched Northern Exposure, and Shelly had a bump/baby she called 'The Pooper'.

Many years later, my bump was called Pooper, and the baby also... in fact Pooper is still a term of affection for my DCs.

In fact we have plural Poopers - as in DH returns from work and asks "How have the Poopers been today?".

Boober, groober, grobags, bump.

We know what she will be called but don't want to use it till she's born (although it's really annoying me that a people have referred to her by it already. All we told them was that it was the only one we agreed on so far).

We have a few names - Pubert (husband likes to tease me with awful name suggestions), The Hybrid (because it's a hybrid of me and husband), but most often just Babby.

I was called Rodney while a bump! My dad loved Only Fools and Horses. I do not/have never had an identity crisis over this name!

Ziggy as it started out as Ziggy the Zygote. We keep saying He although at only 14.5 weeks we don't know the sex and probably won't even be finding out at 20 weeks.

So far, my bump is Small One or Wriggleworm.

Small One is seeming less accurate these days(34 weeks) though.

I called this one "the triplets" until the first scan, largely to bring DH out in a cold sweat . Otherwise, generally "sproglet" although this one is occasionally Tertius (less often since discovering she's a girl).

Lol, another 'bean' here - until we found out she was a girl and now we have been calling her Emily - which unless she really looks nothing like an Emily will be her name when she is born

We had a few over the months, from 'pea', to 'belly-inhabitant' to 'dancing alien' ... it changes all the time, no one nickname stuck so far

Call mine BB for baby bump.. now my 4 year old dd wants to actually call the baby BB!

Techically, our bump is called Akabusi Awooga Agbonlahor H..... or Aaah for short (though our friends call it Awooga mostly). Even though we've used that name for years for our future first child, now that I'm pregant, it doesn't work for me at all! Nothing seems to work for me as a bump name.

Phineas the foetus. We like it so much we're considering keeping it (if we have a boy)!

Wolfie. Till we found out it was a girl then we changed it to Foxy.

Tiny bug.

Mini Cooper.

my little girl called my but the seahorse lol god only knows why

Our friends used to call theirs 'Wibble'. I suppose because he moved so much.

They called it something else, though...

My dh's term of endearment for me is lumpy (I call him stinky to be fair), so we call ours blumpy (bump + lumpy). Seemed appropriate but really is pretty daft.
