Did you call your LO by a nickname before they were born?
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.
-
My sister did! Her name is officially Eleanor but we've all called her Nora since she was in utero!
-
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!
-
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.
-
@knittylady: Glad I'm not the only one doing this!
@luckypenny: Noolet is so cute.
@Smurfette: It would be so hard for me to keep it a secret! -
@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
-
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.
-
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.
-
@Smurfette: Apparently you are chatty when under the influence? lol.
@c.sassy: We kept calling her snoopy until we knew it was a girl.
-
@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
-
I called him Bubbly before we picked a name
-
@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!
-
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.
-
@Sweet T: That's really cute.
-
She was The Stig and Tater Tot before she came into the world.
-
@prettylizy: Stig?
-
@MaisyMay: it's a refernece from Top Gear UK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig
He is their professional diver, but he wears a race suit and mirrored helmet so no one knows his true identity.
-
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.
-
@prettylizy: That's fun.
-
@artbee: I told Hubs that she just feels more like a Meely to me. That may change once we officially meet though.
-
@MaisyMay: mother's intuition! I guess I just didn't have it with lo's name.
-
@artbee: Eh. For some reason she feels very stubborn and active, which makes me think of Meely.
-
Yup! Our DS isn't here yet, and we call him Dez (short for Desmond) already.
