MOMS: What do you call your kids?

I don't know how or why, but I call Zac "Bubby" all the time. It just happened, I have no idea where I picked up on it - we certainly aren't yiddish in nature.

Re: MOMS: What do you call your kids?

  • Pumpkin or Booger Butt. The first one is a bit more endearing.

  • Used to be Baby Bird and now it's "Goose".  Like, all the time.  Goosey Goose, Lovey Goose, Silly Goose, Janie Goose, etc. 

    She doesn't say Jane, but she said "Goose' the other day.  Oooops :)
  • I have a number of different nicknames for Marshall. I probably call him Mister more than I call him Marshall! He's also Buddy Bear and Mr Marshall Man.

  • Noo-noo. Stemmed from our daycare provider, who started calling her Nora-noo. We somehow picked up on that and acquired the name, too, and have come up with various spin-off nicknames. Noo-noo is most common, but we also throw in Nora-noo, Noo, Noonie, Noos, etc.

    She's going to hate us when she's older. :) 

    Others that we randomly use: Angel face (Nora Grace Angel Face), Pumpkin, Bunny girl.

  • sweet pea and elle belle and baby byrd , my sister started Elle Belle, I don't know where sweet pea came from, and baby byrd as that is my nickname--plus when she is hungry she walks towards you with her mouth open!

    Then there's all the common ones of course, sweetpea, honey, big girl, etc.

  • I still call my niece Boogs or Goober. I almost always called her goober, but her parents used to call her Boogie sicne she always seemed to wiggle and dance. Now I just call her Boogs

    Adorable.

    I call Obie so many names (it's not really the same, but I know I'll do the same thing with kids). Obie-Wan-Kenobe, Monster man, Handsome dog, bubba, bubba-duck (no idea where that one came from), Obster-oni. He probably has no clue what his real name is. I'm actually a little concerned because I'm sure I'll end up using some of the same ones for kids, and it's probably going to get confusing.

    We have already started doing this to Cooper. Our faves right now are Coopa Troopa (spin off of Koopas from Mario), Cooper Man (like Super Man) and Lil Man. At least he usually responds!

    Tucker also has a ton of names: Tucker bean, Tuck-a-buck, Tuckahoe, Tucky Boo, Tucker John, Pretty puppy. Tuckaaa (what Liam calls him and its where his RI roots come out!)

  • They vary by day, but the most common ones in our house are Buddy, Buddy-buds, stinky toes, Maddie Mae, Madalinus/Madalinus Aquinas  (especially weird and random, but DH came up with that one & somehow it stuck)
  • Bella Bee, Izza Belina, B :)

    Collin is a Bubby too (or Bub or Bubba). He also gets Stink Butt quite a bit. For a while it was ZaZa all the time but that one has faded. Bubby has stuck since the beginning. In fact, I asked Collin last week who mommy' baby was and he point to himself and said Bubby. I am starting  to think I should call him Collin now and then so he knows his real name :0)

  • The most popular in our house are Bubba for Kellen and Sissy for Tessa. Kellen is also called Dudeawalla by DH (weird nn and I have no idea where it came from). Then there is Monkey, Lil Man, Kel, Booger, etc that my family calls him. We also refer to Tessa as Baby Girl, Messy Tessy, Peanut, Ma'am, etc. My poor children are going to be so confused.  Kellen answers to Bubba more often then he answers to his name and he can say Bubba and not Kellen. Whoops. 
  • Monkey and Little Butt.
