Okay what names have you gone through on the way from conception to birth?
Since we read that our child to be was still only the size of a full stop, it's been known as the Dot. I'm thinking it's probably grown past this stage now, but I don't think it's quite big enough to be a jellybean yet. And what happens after that?
DS was Liebling pretty much since we knew I was pg. Baby Bumpling was the other one that got used a bit, I still like Bumpling - and use it to describe my post-baby tum LOL.
DS is also the Sweetness Swoozle now - don't even ask me how that one started - but is still Liebs/Lieby/Liebling too.
Ours is the parasite... I had wanted to go with Caterpillar again, but it was just too painful, and then there was the comment I made to one of my classes in very early pregnancy when I was really struggling with nausea, fatigue and a brain that wouldn't work... "there's just a parasite zapping my energy and turning my brain to mush". It stuck. It freaks people out, but I do love my little parasite!
nikolaus was snot
Wilhelm was always wilhelm
Vyolett was Mr wonka (wilhelm named her)
mateauz was sunshine cause he bought us some sunshine after our m/c of twins
Otto. Cos I dreamt that I was having a boy and that I named him Otto after a King of Sweden (WTF?). When we occasionally entertained the idea that it was possible that we'd have a girl, we adapted it to Ottete.
Needless to say, I had a girl and after enormous prevarication called her Katrina. But I call her Kittykat or Kitty or Cheeky.
Charlotte was and still is The Bump. She graduated to Lump for a little while, but always Bump.
At the hospital for the week after she was born we had to keep reminding ourselves to call her by her name because we were still calling her Bump. lol DF was so paranoid about it that he's convinced if we dont call her Charlotte more often she wont know what her name is! lol
sometimes I call her Bubble too now...dont know why. But Charlotte will always be our Bump
- parasite/paris and copypod in the early days,
- chilli in the 2nd trimester (so named because we were sick of people asking us about names when we had said from the start that we weren't going to be naming until it was born, and we were walking past a chilli plant in the garden so we said that's what we were calling it just to p*ss every one off),
- then once we found out it was a he, he became little bloke, squidgy, and kicky little bugger who won't let mummy sleep,
- and finally, at the moment of escape, he was called 'holy sh*t it's a baby'. Lucky it wasn't like the old days where they had a priest on hand ready to baptise them. After three days of calling him 'hey you' we named him Euan. He still gets 'hey you' though.
Caitlyn was lentil - she was bean shaped. I still have difficulty eating lentils
Oscar was alfie - short for alfalfa sprout because he was a little sprout
This one is edna - extra-special DNA due to the conception being without assistance this time
This little one is Bubble, cos when we got the positive pregnancy test Shel looked up what the baby would look like (at 4 weeks LOL) and it was just the sac which she said looked like a Bubble. So she's Bubble, and has been through the whole pregnancy.
Though when she was head up and poking her head into my ribs, she became knobby head LOL! That's all I'd call her.
Yesterday I told Shel she can't be Bubble anymore, she's too big, so for these last few weeks I think she'll get Whale Bubble which is what I was calling her yesterday!!!
MJ was 'the baby' and some times 'Buck' cos on one the u/sounds she looked like she had buck teeth (she had just yawned when the picture was taken)... glad she came out a girls as i think that my sister would have continued to call her Buck had she been a boy!
My friend called her unborn 'bananas' as she wanted a name that had nothing to do with a gender...
