Names for fetuses

[Yooper]

I know that many of you have called your fetus "bean" or "the_bean". I still think that the_bird has a daughter named Bean.

I was referring to my daughter's that way for a while. I mean, it's just the size of a bean and I didn't want to call it "it".

But it suddenly hit me- my son-in-law to be has a surname of Adams. My grandchild will be part of the Adams Family. So, now I call him or her "Gomez". I guess it'll have to be "Wednesday" if it's a girl. I could call him "Fester" but my daughter would really hate that.

What nicknames did you have for your babies?

 

[the_bird]

Adams?

How can you not be referring to him as "Sam"?

Bean was actually the_Fish in utero. She became Bean when she was swaddled for the first time. Q's been being alternately referred to as "the_Noob," "Qube," and "the Turducken" (he's a baby wrapped inside a uterus inside a woman).

Incidentally.... looks like my wife's water is starting to leak....

I liked Evan!'s name, too... wasn't it Cletus The Fetus?

Our daughter, now named Rebekah, was rice baby for a long time... At one point early on, momma mentioned to the kids that the baby started out tiny like a grain of rice, and one of them started calling mommy's tummy "rice baby."

Our family has a bit of an ongoing problem with cutesy embarrassing nicknames.

All babies from fetushood till 18 years of age should be called "Dickwad"

It worked just fine for me! I grew up to be President!

 

[FireBrewer]

I think we referred to my oldest as the "little kegger", since my wife's belly was getting as big as a 1/2bbl and she referred to her ****s as "taps". Purely to keep my interest, as while she was reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting" I was reading "Designing Great Beers".

Well, it's about time the_Noob makes an appearance! Hopefully he'll show up later tonight!

I never even thought of Sam- I just think of the Addams Family theme song, and see Gomez's goofy face and know that it suits.

I almost forgot about Cletus! That was a great name.

One of my BILs called the first one "tax deduction". Ha, ha, born on January 4th.

How about 'the baby?' Or is that too simple?
Afraid I'm not very creative. Or just lazy. Likely both.

Lazy *******? Is that what you are thinking?

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

ooh! I've really got my thinking cap on now!!

A fetus would obviously be even less intelligent than Paris Hilton.....ie lighter in intellect...

I propose the name Paris lite!

We called my sisters fetus Tadpole because they have tails near the beginning.

A friends fetus we named Chebacca or Chewie after the father was complaining of back hair (he was a big star wars fan).

 

[Skins_Brew]

I need to think of one because we just found out we are expecting last weekend. I call it "it" right now or "he, him." I am like 100% it will be a boy.

 

[Marko73]

"Nugget" for our first boy.

"nougat" for the second.

I called the second one "Crash" becasue we didn't want to say 'accident' outloud. . . .

 

[Tripod]

We called our girlie the "peanut" because of her size and shape at the time.

 

[Zul'jin]

Gator bait. Keep that name going for a few years after and hold 'em up side down by one ankle over whatever body of water you're at, like the gator exhibit at the zoo, and you won't have too many problems with the kid.

Until about 8 hours ago we called our daughter "Little Miss". Now that she is born, I guess we will have to come up with a real name.

Awesome!! Congrats.

Yeah, all my kids were boys too, except for that one in the middle that was a girl. Still trying to figure out what to do with a girl child. They're weird.

Whoa! 8 hours? Get the hence to the nursery!

 

[mordantly]

congrats to the new parents.

what bout cock block? as much as rubbers suck, i aint be want no kids. knocked up has a horrifing scene to make one not go that route.

 

[uglygoat]

the sprog. when she was born she was the munchkin, and now she's got several nicknames, depending on how silly we are being, most revolving around 'monkey'.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Cletus the Fetus

 

[BlackDogBrewing]

We called my son "Mojito" before he was born; our way of telling friends and family that we weren't going to tell them his name.
Conor doesn't seem to hold it against us; granted he's only 6 weeks old.

We dont know what it is yet. My mom had three boys and my wife's mother had 2 boys out of 4 kids. so I feel like there is a good chance we will get a boy. I was trying to explain to my wife today that boys are into way cooler stuff then girls, like model rockets, those robot claws, remote control cars (those were just the three that came up).

 

[the_bird]

Who the **** says that little girls can't be into model rockets, robot cars, and remote control cars? What the hell?

 

[ChshreCat]

Little Womb Booger, FTW!

 

[imaguitargod]

Hehehe, Gomaz, that's awesome, Yooper.

I have, nor do I plan on having, a "bean", but I have been known to name inadimate objects and my plants and yeast. Usually when they are starting out I call them, "Little guy(s)", later in life they go the dog route and are called "good boys". My car's named 'ol Blue.

 

[paulthenurse]

I still call my girls Spawn.

My dad was always called Sergeant by his peers in the military, so I called our fetus Sergeant for awhile. Had a nice ring to it.
