I made the ones for DH and myself before a LO was on the horizon, but either way I don't mind having first names. LO will know that we have "real" names in addition to being mom and dad, so I don't think it will scar him or her for life!</p> <p>ETA: I thought about doing initials, but it still kind of bugs DH that I kept my last name instead of taking his and I didn't want to sort of rub it in all holiday season. And the stockings would have looked funny with just our first initials...so, names it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1230228 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 14:11:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1230228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mommy, Pappa (how they spell it here), and LO's first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1230222 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 14:10:47 +0000 mediagirl 1230222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well...I wanted mom and dad but my mom ordered them and got our first names.

We debated this, but ultimately I decided that I wanted to be more than just "Mommy." Also, when my kid is 16, it would be weird if my stocking said Mommy.</p> <p>I make our stockings (I am woefully behind on DD's), and decided everyone gets their real, full name - even grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1230148 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:55:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1230148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mom and Dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1230147 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:55:13 +0000 HabesBabe 1230147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours have our initials (just pins I got on clearance from Target eons ago). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1228632 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:35:38 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1228632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1228631 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:34:09 +0000 mrskc 1228631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm the odd one out but ours say "mom" and "dad".

I think I'm gonna go with my name. @Rainbow Sprinkles: Yeah, we always referred to my mom and dad's as "Mom's and dad's" which is why I was wondering, but I think it'll be nice to have my own name on it :) Hopefully I won't regret it tomorrow! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1228606 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:05:27 +0000 autumnlove 1228606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will order them with our first names </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1228598 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 23:58:19 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1228598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I TOTALLY THINK YOU SHOULD PUT MOMMY/DADDY!</p> <p>Growing up, we always referred to the stockings as "mom's stocking" or "dad's stocking." I feel like it would have been totally weird to me as a little kid if it had my mom and dad's first names! Because they were mom and dad to us!</p> <p>Just a thought... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-do-your-stockings-say#post-1228596 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 23:56:24 +0000 rattles 1228596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First names.
