Hi Ladies

Has anyone else given their little ones 'nicknames'?

When Ruby was first born my OH used to call her 'Rubzy Bubzy' lol and the Bubzy part has just stuck. I think she gets called Bubzy more than her actually name, hope she doesn't get a complex! lol

Not sure weither it will stick as she gets older, my mum used to call me 'Lolly' when i was younger and I still get it now @ 23! :lol:

Hope nicknames don't stick. My little boy is 2 and ever since he was born my dad has called him 'Chunky' because he had fat thighs. It is quite cute though. XXX

Rhianna is the Diddy Baba, or Diddy B........why did we give her such a nice name and then use it only twice a week? lol xx

We call Holly squeek because when she is laughing and giggling she squeeks lol and she has the funniest hiccups ever lol

Sonny is his nickname as his real name is unpronouncable to most English speakers, he also gets called his middle name Jackson by a lot of people in UK but at home it is mostly Sonny but sometimes munki, baby G (dunno why but I like it) & faker (when he is whinging for no reason) so he is going to be really confused when he gets older!!!

My son is called Asher and I call him pickle most of the time and Asher Basher (for no real reason other than that it rhymes!)
Anna Banana!

My parents-in-law started calling LO cheeky monkey, cos when she was first born she was really clingy and always attached to me as if I was mother ape with a little chimp!! And it seems like it's sticking, we've ended up getting one if those car signs with 'cheeky monkey on board' and she keeps being given little cuddly toy monkeys!

Beebee, if you don't mind me asking, what is LO's real name? I'm intrigued!

millie gets called millie moo, even on bday cards and xmas cards we sent we put millie moo on them lol x

Pan-ya, it is a thai name meaning to hold wisdom, coupled with our very hard to pronounce suname makes it just too hard for people here, hence the middle name usage & nickname

god evie has got quite a few bless her! evie pevie (just coz it rhymes!) is what i call her most. i also call her bops... which has extended to bop bops or boppa. i also call her bubba... and hubba bubba! LOL... poor child!

Our lo is called Kade which he gets Kady then that gets changed to Shady so it's usually a mix of any of those :\)

Poppy gets called Chunky by her dad, Munchkin by me and lemon popsicle (wtf!?) by my mum! Poor child will never learn that Poppy is really her name!
xx

My 5 year old boy Charlie has been called 'chimp', and 'larly chops' cos he called himself Larly when learning to talk! As he's five we try not to embarrass him anymore! My 2 year old Alfie is called 'Alfonzo' or 'Fonzie' and my 8wk old is 'my little GG' (gorgeous Gracie), 'Gracie grews'?! or Moodles!
On top of that, my dad calls her 'Maisie' and my mum calls her 'Rosie' - think that's more old timer's disease as they call it, not nickname stuff! She is the 1st grandaughter of 5 so any girly name goes!

I like 'Lemon Popsicle'..Donna lol

Its funny how we spend 9months thinking of names for our little one's!
My friends little one's are the same there's 'Eva Diva' and a little boy Hayden gets called 'Buster' by everyone.

My 2 year old Ophelia gets called Fee but my 16 year old calls her 'fifi pixie smell'! I have no idea why! Bryn gets 'the Brynster' by his dad - I quite often call him finn - but only because i start to say Fee (through force of habit) then change it half way through to Bryn - I put it down to tiredness and age! x

Well we call Joshua anything but Joshua I think! He's usually called the bubs, bubsicle, bubilious, bubaluba-dingdong, cheeky monkey, faker (for the same reason as beebee) gay (harsh i know and not in the homosexual way just cos sometimes he acts,well,gay!) and little weirdo when he sits there laughing at nothing...which is the absolute cutest thing to watch, to me he'll always be bubs! My family used to call me Plum after the Victoria Plum books and that has stuck and im 24! xxx

my lo not arrived yet but we calling him jason christopher so can see his nickname being JC! hence the JC at the end of my name! lol
my mum n dad used to call me hayley wailey when i was a toddler! apparently i was a quiet baby but made up for it if someone said no to me when i hit 18months +!! lol hope it doesn't run in suit! the quiet baby i don't mind! just i have enough of screaming toddlers at work! (work at tescos n the kids are always screaming for sweets or attention when parents are packing!!!)

I love all these nicknames - we all spent our pregnancys carefully choosing names only to give our lo's a nickname!

We call Neve : Popsy, Nevie or Nevil Knieval - am sure she's not going to like any of them when she's older!

Amy gets Meme, mainly because when she started talking that was how she pronounced her name & Zara gets Zaa alot coz when we found out we were having a girl & picked the name Zara, Amy would point at my tummy & say baby Zaa so its just kindof stuck

Hilary x

Madison gets called Maddie for short but nicknames range from - Chopper (before she was born), Maddie Moo, Pumpkin, cheeky monkey and my mum calls her fanny bagass golightly - i have no idea where it came from or what it means, i put it down to her old age lol
