ACMESkydiver 0 #1 August 24, 2006 Goofy, I know...but we have TONS of ridiculous nicknames for our kids. What are yours, and how did you come up with them? Our daughter is 'Sprouty', 'Sprouty Marie', 'The Sprout', or 'Sproutimous'. (She wasn't growing like a weed as a baby; she was growing like a sprout...) Our twins are Tinkers (always fiddling with stuff) or stinker-pot (obvious reasons) or Tinky (short for Tinker) or Bucket -the boys were in the habit of plopping their butts into buckets and sitting that way, so I started calling them 'Baby Buckets'. You?~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #7 August 24, 2006 The two I use for my son the most: 1. Boo Bear (his mom calls him "Boo Boo" a lot but that's a little tooooo much) 2. Booger or boogie - it started as boogie because of how he liked to dance, but since he can be a litte ebooger sometimes.. My wife is hotter than your wife.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #8 August 24, 2006 The youngest gets called Lil Man and the oldest gets called Bub. When his brother was younger he couldn't pronounce his name so we just started to refer to him as Bub. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

TALONSKY 0 #9 August 24, 2006 When my son was about 5 he loved the word poop. No matter what we did he would continue to use it, so hoping to defuse the wonder of the word for him we nick named him poopy. It worked in short order he stopped using the word but the nick name kind of stuck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vskydiver 0 #15 August 25, 2006 We used to call my oldest daughter Ryan "Rye Rye" but we don't do that much anymore now that she is 18 and going off to college. My second daughter Amelia (16) goes by "Mia" however I still call her Amelia. My son Brett (15) has always been "Buddy" to me even when he was first born. I have no idea why. I'm the only one that calls him that. Weird now that I think about it. My youngest daughter Melissa (13) was called "Sissa" for a while but not so much anymore.

ACMESkydiver 0 #17 August 25, 2006 Isn't it odd how most of us don't really know *why* we started calling our child 'boo-bunky-doober-pop'?? Edit to add: and my intention with saying 'stoopid' nicknames was our silly choice of names of course, nothing derogatory towards the babies. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Muenkel 0 #20 August 25, 2006 I am the king of nicknames for all my nieces and nephews. I'll mention just a few. My 5 month old nephew Ethan is right now Ethan chunks because he is a total chunk right now. My almost 3 year old nephew Sean is Buttermilk. This is my favorite. The way this one came about was a few months ago he came to me and was talking about something that I could not understand. It sounded like buttermilk, when he was really talking about spiderman. So ever since then, he's been buttermilk. My 6 year old niece Haley is Sweets. When she was about 3 or 4, she looked at me real serious and said, "Only one Sweets per day."My 8 year old nephew Eddie has been Eddie Spaghetti since he was like 1. There's more, but I'll leave it at that. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steveorino 7 #23 August 25, 2006 The reason I call my granddaughter Nikki, Possum, is she gave herself a haircut (as most 4-5 years will do) and she ended up looking like possum on the movie "Places in the Heart" Sort of that bowl cut look. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #24 August 25, 2006 My son, Christopher, was called Kiffer when he was little...well that's how HE said it so we adopted it. Side note: He called a screwdriver an "ai-yi-yi". Don't ask ME, ask him!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
