Our DS isn't here yet, and we call him Dez (short for Desmond) already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387833 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:45:03 +0000 MaisyMay 387833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Eh. For some reason she feels very stubborn and active, which makes me think of Meely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387822 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:42:10 +0000 heffalump 387822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: mother's intuition!

That may change once we officially meet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387810 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:40:07 +0000 MaisyMay 387810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: That's fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387793 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:37:30 +0000 heffalump 387793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't. My mom kept asking me if I was going to call lo rosie or rose. I said I don't know, I have to meet her first. She's a rosie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387785 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:36:04 +0000 prettylizy 387785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: it's a refernece from Top Gear UK <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig</a></p> <p>He is their professional diver, but he wears a race suit and mirrored helmet so no one knows his true identity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387773 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:34:19 +0000 MaisyMay 387773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Stig? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387769 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:32:51 +0000 prettylizy 387769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was The Stig and Tater Tot before she came into the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387762 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:31:59 +0000 MaisyMay 387762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: That's really cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387756 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:31:07 +0000 Sweet T 387756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've referred to DS as "Butterbean" since I found out I was pregnant. It's still one of his nicknames at 14 months old. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387753 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:30:54 +0000 MaisyMay 387753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Hubs and I couldn't keep any of the baby stuff a secret at all! We told pretty much everybody we were pregnant by 8 weeks, and as soon as we knew it was a girl, they all knew too. We did tell parents first though. Her name was never a secret either. We just don't have it in us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387752 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:30:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 387752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called him Bubbly before we picked a name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387745 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:29:34 +0000 Smurfette 387745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Always chatty and even more so with some cocktails in me. One week in and I haven't told anyone the name! 19 more to go </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387731 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:26:15 +0000 MaisyMay 387731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Apparently you are chatty when under the influence? lol.</p> <p>@c.sassy: We kept calling her snoopy until we knew it was a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387724 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:25:21 +0000 Weagle 387724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her Sneakers. It was very hard to get DH to have a serious conversation about names until late in the pregnancy. Sometime in the first trimester I asked him what he thought we should name the baby. His response was Sneakers. For some reason it was hilarious to us, and it stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387260 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:04:16 +0000 BelugaBean 387260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We nicknamed her and my brother nicknamed her before she was born. Oddly enough, we came up with the same nickname. Her name is Zoey Lorelei so we started calling her Zolo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387256 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:03:11 +0000 Smurfette 387256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: It is really, really hard!! My sister was teasing me that the only way I can do it is cause I won't be drinking :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387236 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:00:58 +0000 MaisyMay 387236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Glad I'm not the only one doing this!<br /> @luckypenny: Noolet is so cute. :)<br /> @Smurfette: It would be so hard for me to keep it a secret! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387224 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:58:20 +0000 Smurfette 387224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been calling the baby nugget since we found out we were pregnant. DH started calling her nugs. Now that we know it is a girl, we still call her Nugs instead of her name. That way we don't slip up and say it in front of someone else. We are keeping the name between us till she gets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387173 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:51:20 +0000 luckypenny 387173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DH calls me "noo" so he called DD Noolet (as in tiny noo) when she was in my tummy. In fact we call her Noolet more than anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387172 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:51:16 +0000 knittylady 387172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister did! Her name is officially Eleanor but we've all called her Nora since she was in utero! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknamed-before-birth#post-387161 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:48:50 +0000 MaisyMay 387161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you call your LO by a nickname before they were born? </p> <p>Our little girl is Amelia, and I call her Meely more than Amelia. I've even caught Hubs and FIL calling her Meely instead of Amelia. </p>
