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?

In utero my daughter was "Horatio Lord Nelson" or HLN for short. Had she turned out to be a boy she might have ended up being called Horatio for real, because it had grown on us so much. No 2 still is just No 2, haven't thought of anything better yet.

My last DS was called Mungo-fish. I have no idea why, it just came to me! When he was little we stilled called him that, but haven't done so since he was about 4 months old. I don't know why. I haven't come up with anything for this pbump yet, it's still too early (4 + 4).

Ours was Bubble until the 20 week scan then we found out it was a girl, named her andhave called her that ever since.

Batman.

The first name DH picked when I aked him what we'd call it if it was a boy....now all my friends call him Batman too!

DS1 was 'peanut' simply because of his proportions when we had our first scan. When he was born we called him Oliver and sometimes refer to him as 'O' or O's. My new bump is therefore called 'O2'.

Originally she was little fish, because she had a tail. Now she's just The Spud Smile

DS was Moschops - the name of my aunt's first pet (tortoise). We looked it up and the dinosaur moschops was described as an evolutionary dead-end and somewhat clumsy so we thought that suited our family!

Current bump is Falafel. Cos we all love falafel (it can be singular or plural and we named it before knowing it was just one) and because they give me terrible wind!

DP has named ours Jebub and keeps calling it "he" - I hope he's not too disappointed if it turns out to be a girl!

Hersetta · 24/11/2010 13:04

DD was called Tad (short for tadpole) but when we found out she was a girl her bump name was Bernice!

Found out this week I'm expecting number 2 and haven't yet discussed bump names.
