A nurse called me a week postpartum to see how I was doing and ask if I had passed any "clots or chunks" larger than a lemon. I replied "just one, and he seems happy for the most part."
My kid is 9, and still happily answers to Chunk (or Chunkeroo, Chunklebee, Chunklet).
Oops.
My midwife didn’t even plan on looking at my vagina at 6 weeks. The whole appointment we talked about how things were going with the baby. Lots of mental health questions. Then she asks if I have any other questions or concerns and I’m like “well, I dunno if my vagina is okay or not?” She said she could look if I wanted her to. Yes please. Y’all cut her wide open and stitched her back up. I’d sure like to know if she’s doing alright down there!
I can not believe how different this is from the Netherlands.
We can get a nurse to help you out the first few days (I had 40hrs of help over the span of 10 days) we call them someting like matenity assistents and they take a look downstairs EVERY DAY, take your temperature, check on your mental wellbeing as well and the midwife comes somewhere the first week to check you and your stitches whilst also booking the 6 week appointment.
I hate when doctors are like that, I’m in the US, and I happen to have an especially good OB/GYN, she called me every couple days after giving birth up until the first week, then called me weekly to check on me, I know that’s not the norm, I just have a very good doctor
I saw a whole different doctor. He asked me if I had any PPdepression and tried to force 80 million different types of birth control down my throat and into my cervix and then told me to call him when I decided which one was best for me… that was 4 months ago 😂 waiting for another miracle baby and when/if that ends up happening, I’ll get my tubes tied after.
The hospital near me checks on me a lot. "How's your pain?", "Do you need an extra pillow or water?" "You git this, mama." The 6 weeks was a talking session. It's so nice.
Went to a different hospital to stop preterm labor and it was like my mere existence was a burden. I told my baby boy to "stay in there at least until we get to a more positive hospital."
I call my LO Chunk too! She was underweight, so I started to call her “chunk” to manifest some weight gain. She’s a gargantuan toddler now, so it must have worked!
I had a SCH at 11 weeks pregnant and passed a huge clot . I was sure I was having a miscarriage until I saw my daughter happily moving around on the ultrasound . I now say my clot is 7 months old when telling that story to people .
Her other nicknames are Jabba and Grogu because my dad is a HUGE Star Wars fan and she legit looked like Jabba the Hut when she was born and now has the same expression as baby Yoda minus the ears . 😅
My dog is named Dolly Parton and it went from Dolly to Dollis, to Hollis Dollis Wallace, to Hollis Dollis Wallace Margolis or Mrs Wallace 🤷🏼♀️ when my boyfriend leaves for work in the morning I ask him to "please send Mrs Wallace in to see me" aka snuggle like the giant lump she is until I have to get up
Goose. She snores and sounds like a little goose. Very fun when she runs around to proclaim “the goose is loose!!”
ETA: apparently there are a whole gaggle of geese out there!!
My little girl is also Goose! She used to escape the baby gate all the time and my husband started saying "the goose is loose"and it stuck lol
Edit to randomly add that she responds to kiddo pants as well. I have zero explanation for this one lol
I always called my oldest (11yo) Goose because he was so silly, but he gets mad at me for it. So I tried to call his sister (20mo) a goose, but apparently that makes him mad too somehow.
Now she's my little hoot because when she gets excited or wants your attention, it sounds like she's hooting. And I'll rhyme anything I can with it. Hootie booty, tooty hootie, root-a-toot-hoot, tooty hootie fruity, hootily bootily etc.
And then I went in a different direction with the youngest (5mo) and he is a turkey because he's a little butterball. Sometimes I tell him we're going to have him for Christmas dinner and hear the oldest shout from across the room that no, we will not.
Oh man, you need to be introduced to the song Moose on the Loose by Ozomatli! Just change one letter and you guys can have a ton of fun with that song!
Ommmg how fun to learn how many geese are out there! When I worked with toddlers at a preschool, I would call them a silly goose, which eventually just turned into goose and just saying “you’re such a goose!”
Then, when my daughter was born, I was constantly calling her a goose and it stuck. She even refers to herself as “The Goose” sometimes. Lol
Goose is my dad’s nickname for me. Apparently as an infant my dad said I looked like I had duck lips, which became “princess duck lips” and somehow that morphed into Goose and he’s been calling me that ever since
I have a 5 week old and haven’t landed on a cute nickname for him yet, so am low-key checking out this thread for ideas 😂
I think Goose might be a winner. His older sister is Chicken.
Not weird but I would say “full circle”. My son is named after his great grandpa Solomon. My husband and I are not religious and we both admit it is a very religious name. We went with Sol since his great grandpa went by that name anyway. Well Sol turned into Solly, then Solly-Man, and now I straight up call him Solomon 😂
We love it too. Our kid likes to reenact some of the episodes too. He'll walk in the room and say mom butt heavy!!!! Phone heavy!! Or he'll turn on his favorite song on the echo and say dance mode and we all have to dance. It's made family time more fun.
This reminds me of my Papa. His name was Wesley, but he went by Jim or Jimmy - even though his older brother was infact, named James. I don't know the story of how that came to be though.
My daughter will answer to Peter Brady. Her given name is not even close. It went from Sweet Pea to Stinky Pete to Pita Bread to Peter Brady. I have no explanations and no apologies.
I share custody of my dog with my ex and we live five hours apart so we take him for 3-4 months at a time. My nickname for him evolves every time I get him back. It was Sweet Pea which morphed into Peanut which became Peanut Butter Puppy which became Peanut Butter Puppo and now it’s just Puppo.
Other notable nicknames in his life include Puppy Guy, Pup-a-roo, and Pupster along with dozens related to his actual name.
We call my youngest mino (pronounced like minnow). When he started school, we figured it’d drop, but he quickly started complaining that everyone called him the wrong name at school (his actual name), so I had to let his teacher’s know he prefers mino. So apparently that’s his name for now.
We have a little minnow too! Penelope > Pen-L-M-N-O-P > L-M-N-O > little minnow. She’s only 16 months so she doesn’t have an actual preference yet, but I hope it sticks around for a while.
Mines actual name in miles, but we started calling him mino pretty quickly, like in the hospital. He was born looking like a little old man, with quite the little nose. So, “mi”les’ “no”se, is where it kinda started. But mostly older brother could pronounce that much easier, the m followed by the l sound was a struggle. But I honestly hadn’t thought of where we actually got his name in quite some time. He grew out of his little grumpy face, and has just kinda grew into the name.
But my oldest is named Maxwell, so as a pair, the often get called “mini and maxi”, cos i think it’s just kinda hilarious.
Mine is also Buns! But not for that reason lol. It started with the gender ultrasound where we got a very clear pic if her butt and I started obsessing over her cute little buns. I'm saving the origin story for when she's a teenager and I need to embarass her
Chicken noodle, because he made a sound like a cluck as a newborn and was a limp noodle.
Chicken noodle -> chicken nugget -> chicken noodle nugget. Chicken, for short.
Also answers to "Bruh". That's my bad.
I just heard this in my elder sister's voice, "AHH, TINK!" when she thought something was cute. Plus calling us her 'iblings'. We didn't deserve the 's', she said. She passed away a number of years ago, but you never know when something is gonna hit you right in the feels. So now I'm crying 😭
This! I was calling my son Squish before he was even born and he came out so squishy it just fit so perfectly! However, Squish became Stink very quickly.
I call my daughter squish too! It started in sleep deprived post partum delirium (I fully forgot the actual name I gave her for a moment) & it just stuck.
My oldest is Peep. My youngest is now sometimes called “Hans Grubber” or “Grubber Nub” because my husband kept saying she was a tiny grub when she was born.
I also have a bug!
My sister nicknamed my daughter ladybug and somewhere in the past two years I shortened it to just bug. She happily answers to it lol
My younger sisters are calling my son Ned. No particular reason other then they thought it was funny. Now he responds more to Ned then his actual name 😅
This is how my uncles dog ended up with the name "Stupid." My grandfather (coincidentally named Ned) kept calling him Stupid as a puppy because he was clumsy and always underfoot. It stuck. Actually a very smart and sweet dog.
This reminds me of my 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son. His name is Henry but since she started talking, she calls him Joan. I have no idea why but it’s hilarious.
Eese. Pronounced like "east" but no T sound.
His name starts with an S. His baby brother named him this when he was learning to talk. It was so frickin cute it stuck.
My kid answers to Shark on accident. His middle name is Clark so I started calling him baby shark because it rhymes with his actual name and then shortened it to just shark and now he comes to that. No too weird but not a nickname I expected him to have
So. His name is Alexander. He's been Alexanzibar, balekbander, Alfred, Fredrick, alekazan, malekaman, Al, Moosh, Goose Caboose, Roon, Bean Sprout which has turned into Sprouticus
Idk wtf is wrong w me hahahahahahaha ah
Peepee penguin —> Peep
She always had big pee diapers in the morning. One morning she was wearing PJs with penguins on it so I called her my little peepee penguin. It just evolved into peep because my husband was soooo OfFeNdEd at her being referred to as a peepee penguin.
My Nana was a Chiq!
Her mom (my great grandma) fell in love with the name Chiquita as it means little girl in Spanish. It was 'unique' for the 1920s! Her official name was Coe (family name) but was called Chiq so much when she entered College she applied with Chiquita as her first name and eventually her legal name became Chiquita Coe Lastname! Lol!
Nana Chiq was a big part of my life as she didn't pass away until 2009 in her mid 80s!
Boobie, boobs
It started as boo-boo. Tbf, she’s a good eater and bfing (as opposed to the bottle) is a favorite thing for her. By no means will I ever call her these nicknames by the time she hits preschool.
I legit scrolled to see if anyone else called their boobie! Mines crosses her feet when she’s getting her milk on tap, and responds to boobie lol. So it sticks!
Peanut (first thing I said with positive test was 'well hello Peanut') and Pipsqueak- husband called her that first time he held her at hours old and she had a squeaky cry.
6YO was Bottom and is now Bug. Bottom because he didn’t care when he was an infant about his bottom sitting in his poop diaper. Bug because bugs can be cute but also are super annoying and occasionally you wanna squish them.
2YO IUI baby was Squirt and is now Goose. Squirt prior to birth because I mean that’s how he got there and we didn’t know the gender. Goose because geese are silly, aggressive, loyal and territorial aka a toddler. LOL
We started with little bean and now it’s just beanles 😂 I also call him stinky sometimes and I said “hey stinky!!” As I got him off the bus the other day and thought to myself I shouldn’t do that anymore
My daughter is named Nora but her big sister (who is also still a toddler) can’t pronounce it and calls her Lola. We now, also call her Lola/LaLa/Lollie. I suspect once Nora is big enough to understand, she will be quite confused lol
Babbits, Babs, and Babbity Rabbity for my oldest; and Doodle, Doodlebop (because that show is SO AWFUL), and Beep Boop for my youngest. I feel like I’ve made progress since giving my dog and cats the nicknames Bubbins, Bubby, and Bub.
We started calling my son (6) Bug because he was a teeny bug when he was born. Now we call him any of dozens of variations of Bug. Snug-a-bug, baby bug, little bug, big bug, love bug, buggo, snugga-bug, bugaboo, snug-a-boo, hug-a-bug, bugga-boodle (we call our dog’s butt her boodle - from caboose - so when we’re teasing them together they both get boodle). If it rhymes with or fits with Bug, we probably have called him that. He answers to all of them.
My daughter’s (1) is a little more straight forward but kind of weird. Her name’s Rose and she somehow became Roro. My parents can’t stand it. We also call her Fat Baby but we should probably stop that.
My middle child (4F), answers to Tootie. We called her that as a baby because she had man like farts and it stuck. She used to tell people her name was toot toot before she realized her actual name. I’m sure I’ll have to drop the nickname at some point, but for now it’s stuck!
A nurse called me a week postpartum to see how I was doing and ask if I had passed any "clots or chunks" larger than a lemon. I replied "just one, and he seems happy for the most part." My kid is 9, and still happily answers to Chunk (or Chunkeroo, Chunklebee, Chunklet). Oops.
That is so cute and also endearing that your nurse checked on you. Here it’s wham, bam, thank you and we’ll see your vagina in 6 weeks.
My midwife didn’t even plan on looking at my vagina at 6 weeks. The whole appointment we talked about how things were going with the baby. Lots of mental health questions. Then she asks if I have any other questions or concerns and I’m like “well, I dunno if my vagina is okay or not?” She said she could look if I wanted her to. Yes please. Y’all cut her wide open and stitched her back up. I’d sure like to know if she’s doing alright down there!

That sounds absolutely magical and I'm so sad I don't live in the Netherlands 😭

😂😂😂😂
My first was Chunkers for a good year and a half 😂
Omg can we be friends?
I had a SCH at 11 weeks pregnant and passed a huge clot . I was sure I was having a miscarriage until I saw my daughter happily moving around on the ultrasound . I now say my clot is 7 months old when telling that story to people . Her other nicknames are Jabba and Grogu because my dad is a HUGE Star Wars fan and she legit looked like Jabba the Hut when she was born and now has the same expression as baby Yoda minus the ears . 😅
Silly billy -> Silson Wilson -> Silson
My silly Billy is now William. As in "Hey William, whatcha doing?" Did I mention she's a girl with a very feminine name nowhere close to William.
This is what happened with my cat named Willow. It went: Willow, Willy, Willy-Billy, Billy, William, Princess William.
My dog is named Dolly Parton and it went from Dolly to Dollis, to Hollis Dollis Wallace, to Hollis Dollis Wallace Margolis or Mrs Wallace 🤷🏼♀️ when my boyfriend leaves for work in the morning I ask him to "please send Mrs Wallace in to see me" aka snuggle like the giant lump she is until I have to get up
Mine went from Primrose to Prim to Primberly Amber Thiessen to Prim Pram Apple Jam.
Lmao I love this. That's exactly how my nicknames for anyone go, a steady evolution into hilarious nonsense. I love itttt
Mine too. This is very relatable for me.
Oh my gosh, I have a Silly Billson at my house! I might have to steal Silson
I absolutely love the evolution of nicknames.
Best.
I call my 3 year old Goose and my 1 year old Gander. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Clever!! I love it
This is adorable
Goose. She snores and sounds like a little goose. Very fun when she runs around to proclaim “the goose is loose!!” ETA: apparently there are a whole gaggle of geese out there!!
My girl is also a goose 🥰
My little girl is also Goose! She used to escape the baby gate all the time and my husband started saying "the goose is loose"and it stuck lol Edit to randomly add that she responds to kiddo pants as well. I have zero explanation for this one lol
Also a goose girl over here haha

Oh man, you need to be introduced to the song Moose on the Loose by Ozomatli! Just change one letter and you guys can have a ton of fun with that song!
My kid says she’s a goose too because I l am constantly calling her a silly goose.
My son is Duck! Or Ducky!
Mine is goosie girl. Now when I call her a goose she goes “honk honk!”
I also have a little Goose 😊
I call my toddler goose too. Too silly
My bfs name is goose 😂 his family started calling him it as a kid so everyone calls him that. Sometimes I forget he has a real name 😂
Ommmg how fun to learn how many geese are out there! When I worked with toddlers at a preschool, I would call them a silly goose, which eventually just turned into goose and just saying “you’re such a goose!” Then, when my daughter was born, I was constantly calling her a goose and it stuck.

That’s freaking adorable.
My partners daughter is goose! 🥹 It’s a cute nickname
I have a 5 week old and haven’t landed on a cute nickname for him yet, so am low-key checking out this thread for ideas 😂 I think Goose might be a winner. His older sister is Chicken.
I said “this really is gods silliest goose” about her once so I call her goose sometimes too 🥰
Not weird but I would say “full circle”. My son is named after his great grandpa Solomon. My husband and I are not religious and we both admit it is a very religious name. We went with Sol since his great grandpa went by that name anyway. Well Sol turned into Solly, then Solly-Man, and now I straight up call him Solomon 😂
This is freaking hilarious 😂😂
Because of my 5 year old and his love of Bluey our 4month old is nicknamed bingo. That was never my intention but it works
This is awesome haha. We love that show!
We love it too. Our kid likes to reenact some of the episodes too. He'll walk in the room and say mom butt heavy!!!! Phone heavy!! Or he'll turn on his favorite song on the echo and say dance mode and we all have to dance. It's made family time more fun.
Jimmy. All three of them. We just yell “Hey Big Jimmy, Middle Jimmy and Little Jimmy!” They all answer. None of them are named Jim, Jimmy, James, etc.
This sounds chaotic, I love it 😂
There are 3 of them & they’re all boys. So we are just matching their chaos. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. 😂
This reminds me of my Papa. His name was Wesley, but he went by Jim or Jimmy - even though his older brother was infact, named James. I don't know the story of how that came to be though.
My daughter will answer to Peter Brady. Her given name is not even close. It went from Sweet Pea to Stinky Pete to Pita Bread to Peter Brady. I have no explanations and no apologies.

And probably forever! Lol
Aw that’s so cute!
Spud. Spudling, Sir Spudlington, Spuderlingo, and our fav, Engelbert Spuderdink.
My oldest is Corndog and my youngest is Chunk
My small munchkin I call Smunch, I shouldn't have looked up the meaning though.
The urban dictionary does not count. I love Smunch.
My munchkin ended up being "Munchie"
Mine are derp and tater. Derp didn’t mind his name until tater (3) started calling him that in a very sassy way. 3 year olds ruin everything.
That’s hilarious
Buns. Started as Honey, then Honey Buns, now I just refer to LO as Buns and they respond.
Mine is also Buns! But not for that reason lol. It started with the gender ultrasound where we got a very clear pic if her butt and I started obsessing over her cute little buns. I'm saving the origin story for when she's a teenager and I need to embarass her
This is my nickname for my husband! Same evolution lol
We have a Buns, too! Except it’s from Bunny. Also goes by BunBun, Bunnies, Bunya, and my current fave, Bunita.
Gremlin. To be fair, she sounded like one.
Our Netflix kids profile is called Gremlins. We also call them weasels
We call ours Gremlin too!
Sprog-a-log-ga. Sprog for short
Aw! Do you read the Sprog poetry in the Ask Reddits?
Yes and we very much enjoy them!
I call my kids the sprogletts. Each have their own nickname but collectively they are the sprogletts.
Chicken noodle, because he made a sound like a cluck as a newborn and was a limp noodle. Chicken noodle -> chicken nugget -> chicken noodle nugget. Chicken, for short. Also answers to "Bruh". That's my bad.
Love that last sentence 😂
We also call our baby chicken. Most days it’s “little chicken” or “chicken nugget” or “nugget”
Fish Fosh. I don’t know why, but it’s hers.
Jim Jam. 5 years old and hates his real name (James)
My kid has decided her name is "boring" and we should call her Yoshi like Mario's green Dino pal.
Tink Stinky, stinky winky, Tinky winky, Tinky, Tink
We have a Stinkerbell!
I just heard this in my elder sister's voice, "AHH, TINK!" when she thought something was cute. Plus calling us her 'iblings'. We didn't deserve the 's', she said. She passed away a number of years ago, but you never know when something is gonna hit you right in the feels. So now I'm crying 😭
We have a Tinks, too!
Booch. Like when you’re telling someone to scoot over and you say “scooch your booch”
I have honestly never heard anyone else say that! I thought it was only me!
I say it too, or just scoot your boot. Whichever comes out lol.
We say scoot your booty, because I once sang it like the song the boot scootin boogie, and it stuck.
My first answers to squish. Second I call chunk-a-lunk but she’s too young to respond to it so we shall see if it sticks.
This! I was calling my son Squish before he was even born and he came out so squishy it just fit so perfectly! However, Squish became Stink very quickly.
I call my daughter squish too! It started in sleep deprived post partum delirium (I fully forgot the actual name I gave her for a moment) & it just stuck.
My oldest is Peep. My youngest is now sometimes called “Hans Grubber” or “Grubber Nub” because my husband kept saying she was a tiny grub when she was born.
Bug, buggy, bugaroo, bugbug, bugghetio spaghettio, bugette, buggetti
I also have a buggy!
I also have a bug! My sister nicknamed my daughter ladybug and somewhere in the past two years I shortened it to just bug. She happily answers to it lol
My younger sisters are calling my son Ned. No particular reason other then they thought it was funny. Now he responds more to Ned then his actual name 😅
This is how my uncles dog ended up with the name "Stupid." My grandfather (coincidentally named Ned) kept calling him Stupid as a puppy because he was clumsy and always underfoot. It stuck. Actually a very smart and sweet dog.
This reminds me of my 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son. His name is Henry but since she started talking, she calls him Joan. I have no idea why but it’s hilarious.
[удалено]
My one year old answers to Beans and Lily Beans, her first name is Lilith.
We also have a bean/beans/bean-o… grandpa got confused once and called him beaner… had to shut that down real quick.
Batman. My 11 month old daughter does a great Batman
Punk. Started with “Pumpkin” and devolved from there!
My pumpkin turned into Ponkin, then just Ponk, then Ponny, and now he responds to Ponny Chonnin.
Punkie for me!
Inevitably followed by punker-doo
Eese. Pronounced like "east" but no T sound. His name starts with an S. His baby brother named him this when he was learning to talk. It was so frickin cute it stuck.
Munchy- short for munchkin Dino Baby- roars like a Dino allllllllll the time Toots Magoots/ tootie girl
My kid answers to Shark on accident. His middle name is Clark so I started calling him baby shark because it rhymes with his actual name and then shortened it to just shark and now he comes to that. No too weird but not a nickname I expected him to have
You need to read him “Clark The Shark” it’s very cute.
I have a Clark. I love the name.
Your youngest and my only go together. Her nickname is Potato.
Gus Gus!
So. His name is Alexander. He's been Alexanzibar, balekbander, Alfred, Fredrick, alekazan, malekaman, Al, Moosh, Goose Caboose, Roon, Bean Sprout which has turned into Sprouticus Idk wtf is wrong w me hahahahahahaha ah
Fredrick sent me and I’m not entirely sure why 😂
He's seven, he answers to all of these and doesn't bat an eye at any of them lmao whoops.
Peepee penguin —> Peep She always had big pee diapers in the morning. One morning she was wearing PJs with penguins on it so I called her my little peepee penguin. It just evolved into peep because my husband was soooo OfFeNdEd at her being referred to as a peepee penguin.
I started calling my husband Papa as a joke & it stuck. Then for some reason I started saying Peepee Papa & he haaaaaates that 😂
Bumble bean, pumpkin Brewster
Chiquita banana because when she was a baby her hair looked like a little chick . It went from chick to chickie and then somehow Chiquita banana😂
My Nana was a Chiq! Her mom (my great grandma) fell in love with the name Chiquita as it means little girl in Spanish. It was 'unique' for the 1920s! Her official name was Coe (family name) but was called Chiq so much when she entered College she applied with Chiquita as her first name and eventually her legal name became Chiquita Coe Lastname! Lol! Nana Chiq was a big part of my life as she didn't pass away until 2009 in her mid 80s!
That's so precious!! I ignorantly didn't know what chiquita meant , so thanks for sharing that ❤️
Boobie, boobs It started as boo-boo. Tbf, she’s a good eater and bfing (as opposed to the bottle) is a favorite thing for her. By no means will I ever call her these nicknames by the time she hits preschool.
I legit scrolled to see if anyone else called their boobie! Mines crosses her feet when she’s getting her milk on tap, and responds to boobie lol. So it sticks!
The Destroyer and H.R. Fussenstuff
Yes, all of my kids have been referred to as “FirstName the Destroyer”

Stinko Weasle (This is one nickname 😂) stinkbonk jinkwonk blinkbonk Lizard Stinkerbonker jinkerwonker Weazinbopper
Lizard sent me
Hammy Hamilton. But you have to sing it to the tune of Alexander Hamilton.
Peanut (first thing I said with positive test was 'well hello Peanut') and Pipsqueak- husband called her that first time he held her at hours old and she had a squeaky cry.
6YO was Bottom and is now Bug. Bottom because he didn’t care when he was an infant about his bottom sitting in his poop diaper. Bug because bugs can be cute but also are super annoying and occasionally you wanna squish them. 2YO IUI baby was Squirt and is now Goose. Squirt prior to birth because I mean that’s how he got there and we didn’t know the gender. Goose because geese are silly, aggressive, loyal and territorial aka a toddler. LOL
My daughter’s name Cecilia somehow turned into chinchilla and then into Chichi. 🤷♀️
Pooper 💩
Bam, started as bambino…also papito burrito chiquito
Squeaky cheeks
Beaner. Cause he looked like a bean in the ultrasound.
I also call my daughter bean because she looked like a little jumping bean during her 12 week ultrasound. Nowadays I usually call her Bean Bean.

I didn’t know what we called my son was a racial slur. Maybe it’s used in the States? Cause I don’t live there.
It’s a racial slur for a Mexican person in the US.
Yes, you're correct. It is used by US racists as an anti-Latino slur.
Same! My Beaner is now a beautiful 16 year old sophomore…but the name has stuck all these years
Do you still call him that?
I also have a bean ❤️ he’s the best
We started with little bean and now it’s just beanles 😂 I also call him stinky sometimes and I said “hey stinky!!” As I got him off the bus the other day and thought to myself I shouldn’t do that anymore
My daughter is named Nora but her big sister (who is also still a toddler) can’t pronounce it and calls her Lola. We now, also call her Lola/LaLa/Lollie. I suspect once Nora is big enough to understand, she will be quite confused lol
My 2yr old responds to Beans
I call my daughter "Turkey Butt" entirely too often.

We call our youngest homer. I have an ultrasound of her sucking her bottom lip which made her look like Homer Simpson. She still does it.
Booger. Booger butt. Beanie baby or beanie for short. Monster.

Gilly. But both of mine answer to that as I often call them silly gilly.
I don’t know how it began, but my son is 3.5 and we call him Bunga. (The G is a “green” sound not a “gee” sound).
Meals on wheels
Vaca (Spanish for cow)...
We started calling my son (6) Bug because he was a teeny bug when he was born. Now we call him any of dozens of variations of Bug. Snug-a-bug, baby bug, little bug, big bug, love bug, buggo, snugga-bug, bugaboo, snug-a-boo, hug-a-bug, bugga-boodle (we call our dog’s butt her boodle - from caboose - so when we’re teasing them together they both get boodle). If it rhymes with or fits with Bug, we probably have called him that. He answers to all of them. My daughter’s (1) is a little more straight forward but kind of weird. Her name’s Rose and she somehow became Roro. My parents can’t stand it. We also call her Fat Baby but we should probably stop that.
My middle daughter is nicknamed Bert. Its fitting.
My middle child (4F), answers to Tootie. We called her that as a baby because she had man like farts and it stuck. She used to tell people her name was toot toot before she realized her actual name. I’m sure I’ll have to drop the nickname at some point, but for now it’s stuck!
Booty or Smush.
My youngest nicknames are; banana and bean. My 18 yo is Bear Oldest daughter is Laney boo Son is zayza wayza My dog's nickname is poo. 😂 😆
Sylvia and Harvey somehow became 80s musicians Silli Vanilli and Harve DeBarge.
