Names for fetuses

[shek]

Parasite? Stowaway? Belly fruit?

 

[Bernie Brewer]

How about Daddy's Little Squirt?

 

[thepyrofish]

I've been using Kiddo and Baby. Although if I say Baby, it has to be said with the same high pitched girlish enthusiasm my neice has when she's patting SWMBOs preggo belly.

 

[mordantly]

Jebus! Where are you?

 

[Melana]

We called Leah 'The Ewok' while I was carrying her and now (if i'm not calling her by name) my favorite nickname is 'The Pants'.

Congrats to all the guys that are expecting little ones or have new little ones!

All our fetuses were known as cletus until there wiggly bits became large enough to see with a ultrasound.

Once they were born, they get called whatever they respond too.

Hey Melana, why "The Pants"? Sounds like there's a good story there

Actually, it's quite a fitting name.

He got in her pants to make her pant. 9 months later she's panting to get the critter out.

Honestly I don't exactly know why I call her The Pants or Little Pants or My Pants but i started calling her that one day and it stuck in my mind.
On a slightly side note any time we have to go to the bathroom now we say that we 'have to change our pants' instead.

We call ours jalapeno (half Japanese, half Filipino)

Well, that's fine. but when you are out with friends and go to the ladies' room without the baby, don't forget to NOT say, "we have to change our pants". Your friends will think that you've got a bladder control problem. Or want to do a pants exchange in the bathroom.

I made that mistake once with the phrase "beefaroni". I won't bore you with what it actually stood for with my two-year-old, but trust me when I say that your 30 year old friends will think of "making beefaroni" differently than your toddler.

 

[Dalarast]

I called them Gabriel and Alexander (respectively) when we first found out for each because I knew I had boys and we already agreed on names.... So of course when we found out the gender being female the names changed to Gabriella and Alexandra. Apparently I don't have the luck at making boys

Nicknames from friends was Demon Spawn (they are my children) and Vacation Gifts (the last two times we left the country together she comes back prego). Needless to say we vacation in the states now

 

[LeftyGorilla]

First daughter's Chinese astrological designation was Fire Dog. So...for me it was a natural. The wife was not as enthusiastic about that.

 

[Fatgodzilla]

We found out she was pregnant when the Soeul Olympics were on, hence the fetus was called "Oly". Our first baby, very cute, all wonderful.

We couldn't be bothered with the next four.

 

[humann_brewing]

ours is still in the over, but we have used jelly bean and just bean so far although it is morphing into a human looking object now.

 

[Melana]

Oh i'm constantly using the phrase 'I have to change my Pants' instead of 'i have to visit the ladies room'.
