It came from a stupid conversation DH and I had that we wanted our baby to have a Q middle name, and decided obviously, that Quigley was the perfect choice. We then decided his first name should start with S... S. Quigley. Squiggly! </p> <p>We named him William, and people still to this day call him Squilliam</p> <p>We didn't share potential names, because other than S. Quigley, he didn't have a name until he was 3 days old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-869383 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:44:32 +0000 JessKas 869383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're team green and not sharing potential names. Most people call the baby Baby K, although my friends call it "egress" stemming from a joke at my bachelorette. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868920 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:54:17 +0000 apis 868920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were very original and called our son ...

My husband picked it out, after a cloves childhood let's nickname. Now I call her by her name, little miss, or baby girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868887 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:35:18 +0000 Weagle 868887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her Sneakers. DH wouldn't have a serious name conversation and kept throwing out ridiculous stuff. Somehow Sneakers stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868864 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:14:21 +0000 MrsF 868864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I used to call her the name to each other. I guess with everyone else we just said "the baby". My mom called her Petunia and she'll still call me and say "how's Petunia doing?" eight months later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868862 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:14:08 +0000 joyjoy 868862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't decide on a name until she arrived either. One of my cousins decided that I should name her Charlie, so my family called her Charlie or Baby our-last-name. My cousin did the same thing and nicknamed the baby Megatron in utero. Even though he has a name now, half the time we still call him Megatron. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868848 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:07:51 +0000 cheert16 868848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called him baby p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868780 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:39:07 +0000 regberadaisy 868780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's hilarious that they call her baby X! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868769 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:37:05 +0000 Espion 868769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We absolutely refused to reveal even a list of considered names. The only 2 people that knew anything about what we were thinking for E was DH and my sister. </p> <p>So we called him Flipper. Even my Grandmother had taken to calling him Flipper, heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868757 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:31:18 +0000 swedishfish 868757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Donatello after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

She isn't sharing the name either :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868678 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:40:32 +0000 Corduroy 868678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grizelda, a name my parents randomly chose. </p> <p>My brother &amp; SIL had a baby the year before that they called "Cletus the Fetus." It bothered my mom to no end because it made her think of clitoris. So they named my fetus to avoid any possible negative associations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868636 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:16:40 +0000 Running Elley 868636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't share E's name before he was born (still not sure what we'll be doing with this one) and our family called him Boy Boy, per our 5 year old nephew's suggestion ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868584 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:58:42 +0000 tlcbaby 868584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby or It - we were boring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868567 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:53:17 +0000 Smurfette 868567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her our nugget, or Nuggs, for short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868547 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:46:11 +0000 MrsKoala 868547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, it's Blueberry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868544 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:45:16 +0000 Raindrop 868544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: It was annoying! But sadly that's just how my mom is... got to roll with it or we will just be very unhappy all the time! She has a good heart most of the time ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868502 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:29:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 868502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: That sounds really annoying! Even if we were dead set on a name AND knew the gender, I wouldn't call the baby by the name. I don't know if I feel like it's bad luck, or want to reserve the right to change my mind, but I'd still hold out before officially naming until I met the baby. </p> <p>Also, one of the boy names we are thinking I know my mom will wrinkle her nose at and I don't want to hear (well.. see) it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868495 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:26:58 +0000 GrapeCrush 868495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: oh yeah, we are keeping even the contenders quiet! We don't want to be swayed one way or the other. </p> <p>Oh and our last name does not start with an X.... My brother calls her 'baby ?' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868490 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:26:22 +0000 Rubies 868490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They just call it "the baby" or "the new baby" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868489 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:26:11 +0000 rawrasaur 868489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend called her Mini M__(last name) or M&amp;M, but other than that no one called her much of a nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868480 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:23:57 +0000 .twist. 868480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually call him Little Man or Baby C (last name initial). I find most people don't really call him anything but baby or the baby or he/him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868474 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:22:16 +0000 Raindrop 868474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally called LO baby &lt;our last name&gt; which I still actually doing. A lot of my coworkers don't know my LO's real fist name.</p> <p>Haha this reminds me... Don't tell anyone what you are on the fence about! ^_^ We dumbly told my mother what we were considering as names for LO and she decided she liked one of the names and started calling LO that all through utero and it stuck because everyone started calling LO that name... we even received gifts at the baby shower with that name on personalized items... that we ended up naming him that name in the end. Though DH is slight bitter being forced into a corner about that... we actually did like the name a lot so it worked out. :) I still think my mom bullied us into it but I guess in the end we were all happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868465 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:20:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 868465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>McBaby (or McBebe). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-not-sharing-names#post-868464 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:19:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 868464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, people just call the baby "Baby Lastname".
