Nickname the Baby

Feb 02, 2005 16:09

Alrighty then... Up til now, daveamongus and I have been calling our baby "Cashew". It all started when he thought calling the baby "Peanut" was too cliche. (My aunt actually calls the baby "Pecan".) Anyway... that was when the baby was about as big as a peanut/cashew/pecan/whatever. Now, according to BabyCenter.com, the baby is about as big as a sweet ( Read more... )

Before G was born we called him Jose because I craved mexican food so much.

I have to go with K.I.P. since ours was B.U.D. (Buckner under development :) ) Although, we started calling this one "Inkling"

Actually, it was a conversation about your nickname for Caleb whilst still in the womb that spawned the idea of KIP.

Inkling is cute :)

I voted for sweet potato, but I really wanted "the yam"

Happy Birthday!

You might as well stick with Peanut, Cashew, or whatever sticks. Personally, I like "Boston", for "Boston Baked Bean".

It really doesn't mean anything, as you'll see when "Boston" pops out. :) We stopped calling ours "Jose" almost immediately. Although it was easy to envision a little speedy gonzales in there chanting "arribba! arribba! hondolay!" after Heather ate her 1,000th Mexican entree of the pregnancy - whatever you call it now won't match the finished product.

Now, we just call him "goo", or more specifically "the gagoo man". It's the noise he makes when he is trying to make intelligent commentary about something; e.g., he'll pick up a phone, stare at it for 5 seconds, and go "ga-GOO!" like he'd made some unbelievable discovery.

Babies are neat, but they're also sociopathic invalids. Hide the Drain-o.
