Nicknames for our kids

[johnP]

I have two daughters and a son 'tomthebomb'.

Ruth, 15, is called Ruth. Abigail has been corrupted to scabbie and I use that anywhere. She's 17 now. And tom, 6, is called the bomb due to being dropped three times one weekend, he was a bouncy baby.

Out of 5 kids, we had "pet" names for 4.

Kenneth is also known as "Ichabod," as in Ichabod Crane (tall, gangly, all knees and elbows."

Lisa is also "Peanut," "Lisa-Pizza," (LOVES pizza!) and "Lisa-Butt."

Susan is "Snoozie-Doozie" (She slept a lot as a child).

And Christopher was known as "Poot-Man" or "Pooter" (He was born very premature, and as we rubbed his back in his incubator in NNICU, he tended to develop "gas," lol.

Uh Oh we better hope our children don't read this thread or they will tell everyone their pet names for us Chief lol.

Growing up we all had nicnames. My oldest sister was princess. My next oldest sister was raggamuffin. My brother was rapscalion and I was rootabagga (hence my screen name).

Now that I have a family of my own, my childrens father and I also made nicnames for the girls. Elsie (11) is noodle because when we put her in a bed at 2 yrs old we were for ever telling her to put her noodle on the pillow. We got to the point that all we had to say was noodle and she would put her head down. Lilly (7) is my little barracoota because she is very hyper, fast and hard to catch (she is unmedicated ADHD). Last but not least Hannah (4) is called nana or more often then not nugina (nug for short). Not really sure how we came up with that nicname but she likes it.

OK my nicknames growing up were, Davey, Wink, and Junior.

My wifes younger brother when he was 3 or 4 could not say Amber so he called her Berba... well that one stuck for her, I have made sure of it

Our son, due to his sheer size we call Bubba, due to his troublesome ways I call him the Lil Monster, Baby K, and some others i can't think of atm...

Oh yeah and Kaden my son, calls our dog Neo NeeNee.

Dwink,

Your post made me remember something. My 2 year old calls our pastors baby (who is named Mia) "nemo". Have no idea where she got "nemo" for Mia, but it stuck!

I am almost 21 and my family still calls be Bean like they did when i was 4. They call me that b/c my little brother couldnt say Sabrina. My best freind calls me her sunshine cause I brighten her life like sunshine. My 3 year old like neice's nickname that i gave her is monkey coz she acts like a monkey and if i dont call her monkey she gets mad.

My mum always used to call me tiddlypops, I'm not sure why.

My dad has always called me pest or pesty westy.

The rest of the immediate family tend to call me joysey.

I have no kids of mine own (being only 18 and not even married) but thought I'd join in the post anyway... (it's not the most exciting of evenings!)

Wow! I forgot that I had even started this thread! I'm surprised at how many peanuts there are here, lol.

I forgot to mention: When my oldest daughter was 3 years old I started calling her "Camille-a-bob." She had a lot of hair when she was born, but she wore a ring around her head from moving around in the crib. Her doo, plus the fact that she was a little chubster (She was 9lbs at birth, and had gained 2 more lbs in her first 3 months.) reminded me of that old Bob's Big Boy statue they used to have out in front of the restaurant. So I called her "Camille-a-bob" for about a year.

My mother-in-law called her "tank" for a long time. Still does once in a while.

"JR" for the oldest he was of course Junior

"BO" for the next, it is a southern thing

"Ham bone" ( not used in public offen) for the next, he was so sweet chewing on a hambone when he was young

"Little One" for the youngest not so little now.
