I told DH the other day that "his daughter" was using my stomach as a punching sack. MY daughter would never do such a thing ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name/page/2#post-1328513 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:16:03 +0000 fussygal 1328513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked her real name at 20 weeks when we found out she was a girl and we've been calling her that since. But before then we didn't have a cutesy name picked out even though I wanted one and tried 'Gummi Bear' (that's what she looked like in her first ultrasound :) ) but it never stuck. My ILs called her Peanut though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1328506 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:14:01 +0000 buffalove 1328506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG and called it Rocco during the entire pregnancy. DH' would have loved a super-Italian first name but I wasn't game, so this was his only time to have that. The big joke was that Rocco might turn out to be a Rockette. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1328484 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:07:06 +0000 Alivoo01 1328484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anandam: hahahahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1328483 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:06:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1328483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between me and my BFF - junior (even when we didn't know the sex, it was either a junior of me or a junior of the hubby so why not!)</p> <p>Between me and my other BFF - Baby ASL (first initial of my name, the hubby's name, and our last name).</p> <p>Between me and the hubby - the baby (once we found out the sex, it was baby boy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1328454 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:00:10 +0000 pmerr 1328454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called LO "baby". We were TG, so we didn't know what we were having. I called him baby after he was born instead of his own name, and now I often call him baby or baby boy more than his name. I guess at 4mo, I should call him his name more often so he knows what it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1328422 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:48:03 +0000 anandam 1328422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is simply "the Little"</p> <p>... and DH now calls my breasts "the bigs" :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327623 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:52:29 +0000 looch 1327623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we had one, we were team green and it's a name that could be either male of female, depending on how you spell it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327618 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:49:41 +0000 Mae 1327618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol well for the first 10 or so weeks we just called her "the embryo." Then when she became a fetus (which was less amusing to say to us) we started calling her by names derived from whatever veg she was. So she was Avi when she was the size of an avocado. Ted the week of the turnip (ted the turnip? I dunno lol). </p> <p>Since we found out she is a girl though we just call her baby. And we promise her almost daily that we'll pick a name for her soon. We're down to 5 now and both my mother and husband have taken to just picking one of them to call her at random times. Sometimes multiple in a single day. Yesterday my husband emailed me to tell me to sit on a heater so baby fiona didn't freeze. Then when he got home he asked if baby eva was doing any somersaults haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327577 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:32:48 +0000 avivoca 1327577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called the baby Woog until we found out she was a she. It's a nickname from my husband's childhood pet. I'm sure our next will be called Woog 2 or something like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327569 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:29:15 +0000 jodyblair 1327569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called DS Maybe Baby which got shortened to Maybe since we or pregnant with him right after I had a miscarriage. The name stuck for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327549 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:24:19 +0000 MrsKoala 1327549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skeletor or Skelly for short. People think we are nuts. But baby looked straight at us during the 20 week ultrasound and really just looked like a crazy skeleton so it's fitting to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327519 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:13:11 +0000 LBee 1327519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We jokingly call it "Urchie" because after watching SMEP videos I said it looked like a sea urchin as everything started going down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327508 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:10:10 +0000 littlebug 1327508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called him Littlebug (hence my username). Or Baby I-- (Hubs's nickname based on our last name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327497 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:07:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1327497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was in womb we called her Nugget or Lu. My BFF called her LO Tug which I loved ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327476 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 08:55:51 +0000 GrapeCrush 1327476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone called her 'Baby X' or 'Baby ?' Because we weren't sharing the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327470 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 08:52:46 +0000 mamimami 1327470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Yes, I was going to say Cletus is a popular one. (short for Cletus the fetus). </p> <p>With our first we just called him baby I think! With our second we started using our girl name even though we were TG. Fortunately she was a girl and didn't have any fetal gender confusion LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327379 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 07:50:10 +0000 mediagirl 1327379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used BGH (Baby girl Hopkins) and Cletus, before we knew the gender. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327291 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 04:49:55 +0000 artsyfartsy 1327291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called him tater tot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1327285 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 04:46:59 +0000 daniellemybelle 1327285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her Dot. I had a hard time using her real name the first few days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326792 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:19:53 +0000 jhd 1326792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as my dad found out our baby is a boy he began calling him Wilbur. That may just stick for the remainder of our pregnancy because I really just don't want to share his name until he is born! ;)</p> <p>At the beginning we were calling baby "cocoa". It came from a conversation with DH being silly about names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326784 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:15:45 +0000 swedishfish 1326784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called her Donatello because she looked like a turtle alien during the NT scan. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326777 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:11:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 1326777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her name was Lemon, after the twist in the martini that had a hand in her conception ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326744 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:54:17 +0000 SweetMamaM 1326744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bebe Un over here... Not quite sure why we went French with that one. Although lately with bebe playing football with my liver, I've started referring to it as "YOUR child" to my husband :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326641 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:11:12 +0000 Dandelion 1326641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call him little man or big guy lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326629 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:04:04 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1326629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since about 10 weeks when I started slathering on cocoa butter DH nicknamed him coco! We call him coco or coca loca all the time. Lol :)</p> <p>Eta: he isn't born yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326599 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:45:16 +0000 knittylady 1326599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After the 12 week scan we started calling him squirmy. He was just so... squirmy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placeholder-name#post-1326598 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:44:49 +0000 lemondrop 1326598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With our first, we just called him "Baby H" or the boss since he could make me do whatever he wanted- vomit, sleep, eat, etc. </p> <p>This time we are calling #2 "The Kraken" since he has the amazing ability to hit me in multiple places at one time. </p>
