Nicknames for your children?

I am interested to find out what nick names other people have for their children.

I have always called Ryley- Ryley Bums or just Bums now. I get told off for it!! but we all do it. My Mum will call and say "How is Bums today?" LOL

Also I call him Munchie Bums (short for Munchkin Bums).

What nicknames do you all have for your children?

Ashlea gets : Ashy, Asha, monster, Snibby, possum, princess and honey head
When she was in my tummy it was Bozo

Olivia has always been known as "Muppet" and sadly for her this seems to be sticking........I also call her "Livvy Lumps" and "Livvy Lis"

Charlie is becoming known as "Bumba" as he feeds so well adn is so noisy as he feeds.......he always sounds like he is licking his lips!

Well Alexzander gets heaps - Zander, munchkin, dribble monster, chookie, bubba.... I'm sure theres more though!

Matthew gets Matty, Matt, little man and gorgeous boy. :)

My sister nicknamed Kimberley Kimbers and my step mum calls her pumpkin. She is also called Kimmy as DH's cousin's little girl can not say Kimberley.

Jacob is quite often referred to as Snake, Snakey or Mr Snake. He was growing so fast and long when he was little LOL. Plus, DH said something about there being some wrestler called "Jake the Snake" or something like that? I quite often just call him baby or bubbly boy too.

When we're having a ratty day, Jacob is called Mr Rat LOL.

Alexander can sometimes be called little bean. When he was born i called him wiggly worm.

Jaykob gets poomba lol i used to call him booger alot lol how silly do they sound when u see them in print! hahahaha Im not sure why but they were just names that stuck.

Dps parents call him jake, but only because they know I dont want him to be called that :s

Vivienne has HUNDREDS of nick names...
Viv, Vivi, Vivi-puss, Puss, Vivi-chick, Chick, Chicky, Chickaboo, Boo. Well I guess that's not really hundreds and you can see how they have evolved. Mainly she gets called either Viv or Viv or Boo.

Blake.. well he generally gets Blakey Boy, Little Man or Buddy. I'm sure he'll get something else with time.

lani gets called larns, princess and mostly slug lol

the slug name comes from when she started moving she crawled along on her belly like a slug, now she crawls on all fours but if she wants to go real quickly she slugs along.

my ds came up with larns and slug lol.

we call ds mr magoo - dunno why we just do lol, currently i have been calling him the count as he counts everything just like the count on sesame street.

Kynan gets Munchy Moo mainly, but also lots like baby, bubs, bubby, bubbles etc.... as well as Snotty Nose for obvious reasons LOL!

When Matthew had his hormonal rash - I was calling him 'My Little Pimply Man".

He now gets Matty and Matt (from Marks 2 boys) and 'Boyo' and 'Smiley Boy" from Mark and I and I`ve also started calling him 'Kido'

Hendrix gets

Hendy, Hendo, Bubby, Baby, Little man, and DH calls him his little thunderbird puppet (WTF??)

My mum calls him lamby

Nicholas' nicknames are, monster, babbakins, nickybear, nick

Ryans are, bubba, little man, bubbles, cheeky chops and budha

Ok... My turn :)

Alecia often gets Leash (something I can remember saying I didn't want her to be called when I was in hospital #-o ) also Chicky babe ('acroposis (sp) now') leaky, DP calles her leaky bum (I tell him not to cause it is gross and she hates it, lol) and chuppa chup.

Emily gets Em, DP calls her button face (lol... it was an accident and it stuck) and all the other pet names you can think of.

Violet gets baby, and I think she with get V and Vi... (poor girl, lol)

Tanya

If anybody asks me I usually tell them I hate nicknames. W gie our kids a name for a reason. That said here are a few of mine for me kiddies.


Joel - well it was a really long time ago and the only one I can remember is Possum.

Brandon - was alwas Boo when he was little. I out grew the name and so has he but I think his Father still calls him it occassionally.

Noah - gets Noah D (usually be me, his middle name is Daniel), DP's family were calling him No No and Blue for a while til I put a stop to it. Umm I'm sure there are heaps of other nice names we call him too but today he's being naughty so I can't remember any of them.

Tehya - she gets Precious, it started when I was pg with her as that's what her name means. Princess, sweety, baby girl. And atm Little Witch -- because that's what she is being :)


Not bad for someone who doesn't like nicknames hey.



Take care
Trish

Wow and i thought i was the only one who was making up a weird nickname hehehe :)

Joshua gets Monster alot at the moment while his teeth are coming down.

AKA -Mummys little angel boy, Mr Squiggle (cause he refuses to stay still) Little native boy(cause he refuses to wear clothes), munchkin, and yummy bum(dont ask me where this came from???!!)

love

Well when Nyah was a tiny baby, she never lyed still or anything so she was called "Sqwermy worm", now it's moofy (not sure why), cracky dacks, angel, darl, pants- my Dad calls her Possum and my Mum calls her her gorgeous girl.

William is bubby boy, my little man, grumy pants.-Mum calls him cutie and Dad calls him little mate.

Oh and Nyah calls him either Mister, or Little Buddy!! cute huh

Thats gorgeous Nadia.

I bet Nyah adores him!!!!


Love Jen

Awww Nadia that is so cute. :)

We usually call Nicholas bub/bubby (but he is getting a bit old for that now) and I sometimes call him chook/chooka/chookie.

Keenan gets,

Bugga (short for bugga-lugs) Bumby ('caz of his big cloth nappy bum - short for bumble bee bum LOL) Bubs, Naughty (for the obvious reasons) - we also call him 'Pantsless Pete, the Pants off Pirate' - don't ask.....it has a tune that goes with it - kind of like a sea shanty PMPL How sad am I???


and we believe the cats have named him ' the noisy one with no fur....' LOL

Hannah gets "Hannah the Spanner" "Tool" (came from spanner) "Stinky" "Bubby girl" "Hannah Banana" (pronounced the same) "The sprog" "Sorbolina" "grease monkey" (I lather her in sorbolene every day) "Princess" and "grumpy kid"

DH used to call her "maggot" 'cos that's what she looked like as a newborn all wrapped up in her cream bunny rug. Thank goodness he doesn't still call her that!

when we named Jordan I didn't like the nname Jorday and when MIL called her it both DH and I told her not to. Her friends call her it, but I call her Jords, or Jordan Crier (middle name is Kyra), mean aren't we?

We planned to call Joshua, Josh, but as a little bub and even now I call him Joshie, as does Jemma.

Jemma got Nemma and Nemmy and she loves Nemmy. lately I have called her Darl (they all get that really) and baby and sweetie and she keeps telling me she's Jemma.

Jessica I started clling Possum, but Arron called her Buddha (ironic cos she's the smallest of all the kids by far) and now she gets Budhsy! Which she loves, much to my disappointment, cos i am sure she will hate it later LOL

My Dad used to call me Gorbo, cos Michelle= Mikel Gorbochev (Gorbo). I wouldn't let anyone else call me that but he gave up once I ws a teenager thank goodness.

I had a cousin who got called George, she was a real tomboy, but again she only allowed her Dad to call her it and then ended it once a teenager.

Cheers Mcihelle

LOL, I forgot the 2 main names hat we call the little ones.

Noah gets Scallywag - just because he is.

Tehya I call Tehya Maya, which seems to hae rubbed off onto the household :)

Oh yeah and when Joel was a bubba my dear Old Pop (that's what the kids called him) use to get buggalugs or Joe :)



Take care
Trish

Lol juliette @ Maggot!!!

I love cute little nicknames Shannon but am not a fan of shortening the name they were given either.

My sister has a daughter gabrielle and if anyone calls her gabby .. omg watch out! lol

I know jaykob will get Jake but I did spell it Jay Kob so that hopefully if anything he wil get just 'Jay'

Colleen :D

I forgot too that we call Jemma, Jem and Jessica also gets Jess and Jessi.


LOL Trish at how you don't like nicknames. I think the point is they are pet names.

Cheers Michelle

Thought of a few more Zander gets - cranky bum/pant/puss (whichever I feel like at the time!), baby face, Mr Squirmy....


I have a friend (Carolyn) who gets called Bob all the time!! When she came to our school someone called her Carol & she said "I dont care if you call me Bob or anything else just don't call me Carol" - it stuck!!!

DH has a new one for Hannah. "Puke-a-hontas" (like pokahontas). Poor kid. As if reflux isn't hard enough to deal with on it's own!

ok.... Matilda gets

Moo, Grumpy poo, Tilda Wilda....we often call her crazy too. 8-[

My neighbours call her Miss Tilly, but its only them who do that, all her toddler friends call her Tilda.

Eliza gets a few.. LIZA lol shortened that by an E
She was "bubble" when she was in my tum so now she gets BUB alot
Missy Moo for when she is being a little cow...lol
Bec

Can't remember what I called Emma & Jack when they were babies.

Emma now gets Em, Dinner plate eyes, BBG (big beautiful girl) and princess. When she was little I used to call her Emmy-Lou (so much so that her Dad asked one day if her middle name had changed to Louise!!! and he is still an idiot!)

Jack gets called Jackie, Corkhead or buggalugs! I do remember I called him Boo when he was little!

Asha used to be called bubbles because she used to blow heaps of them (Jack still calls her bubbles!), Mugglebutt, LBG (little beautiful girl), Ash, Ashie, Ashie-Lou (just sounds good!) and cheeky!

Cheers

Remembered too that my brother, SIL and Niece call Jemma Mimma. And my bro is calling Jessica her initials- JBJ.
Cheers Mcihelle

We have a similar one Shannon - my dad calls Zander Zed :roll:

Gabby gets: Gabba or Gabba-Gabba-Goo (like the yabba dabba doo from the Flintstones). I call her bubba sometimes too. Neil calls her the Gabstar because I am the Debstar ;)

Friends of ours have 3 kids and their youngest gets called Bubba and probably will forever because he is the youngest.

Xander gets xXx (triple X, or just X) or my sister calls him bubbykins, and has done from birth!!
Declan just gets "Decca" thats all Xander can say, and its catching on!!

My mother has 6 kids, and she tried to choose names that couldnt be shortened (Simone Leanne, Kellie Tenielle, Kyle Ian, Emma May, Blake Jesse and Tori Cassandra) as she "hates" nicknames (apparently!!) I always get called "monie," kellie gets "lellie," "lelliebean," or "jellybean" (a daddy nickname) I call my youngest sister "TC" as her name is Tori Cassandra, and Blake gets "BJ" as his name is Blake Jesse.

Funny isn't it how nicknames aren't always the easy ones. I don't think there is any name that can't have a nickname for it.
