What weird/silly nicknames do you call your child and why.

I have called my son “bum bum” from almost the beginning. At first it was just something I said because of how he was non stop pooing or farting as a newborn, however it soon stuck and here we are 14 months later with me still referring to him the same way (and he responds to it)🤦🏽‍♀️. I don’t want people thinking I’m weird so I’m trying to break out the habit but makes me wonder.. do you have any weird nicknames for your child/ren? How did they get that name?👀

Chunky - she was born premature at 3pound 3ounces. And it was amazing to see her chunk up over 3 months. She is now 10lbs and has knees like a hockey player!

My twins get called chicken...no idea why. I called my dogs chicken before we had babies and it just transferred over

My daughter's 2, and her main nicknames are Yummy and Yum Yum since her name is Yemaya. Now, she mostly looks like my husband, but she has my body shape. I have a big butt, and she's been blessed with one too🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤣🤣. So, I personally call her Yemaya Big Butt, and she'll say it with me.🤣🤣🤣

My smiley baby’s called Milo and we call him Smilo. When he’s not smiley we call him Crylo 😅. The habit I’m trying to break saying in public is calling him Milosevic🫣 it’s not great to call your baby the name of a war criminal but my husband said it one day and it stuck 🫣🫣

Avatar

Lmaooo this made me chuckle

Avatar

Hahaha this post is giving me so many laughs 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️ I am so glad I’m not alone with nick names you will have to break out of at some point Lool. My ex would try and change it around and say “bam bam” but it’s a very distinct “bum bum” lol at his 12 month vaccines I found myself telling him “the nurse isn’t going to give you any more injections bumbum!” Then I realised I say it in public too 🥴.. the nurse wasn’t phased luckily😮‍💨 . These replies make me feel so much better!

Little sheep 🐑 (my husband is curly and I made him love his curly hair (when I met him he spent an hour every morning to straighten this hair 🫠) and his hair are beautiful !

(He’s a baby with straight hair for now 😂)
