Nicknames

I wanted to collect various nicknames (no matter how short-lived) before we forget them all. Pre-birth nicknames:
  • Peanut
  • Stapler (it's a long story)
Post-birth nicknames:
  • Sweetie-poops (courtesy of Grandma Caroline)
  • Exhibit A
  • Munchkin
  • Little Miss
  • Fussy-poops
  • Little Fussbudget
  • Miss Wrinklybutt (Elizabeth hates this one)
  • Miss Rufflebutt (Elizabeth loves ruffles)
  • Didi (Grandma Chris uses that one)
  • Missy
  • Cutie Pie
I feel like there are others that we've forgotten (especially the ones that lasted for only 5 minutes), but at least this lists some of them. Posted by Tom Nugent at July 23, 2004 12:47 PM

I believe "small mouth bass" lasted for under five minutes (with good reason, mind you), but "guppy" made it at least for a weekend. I also thought "Dotty" or "Dottie" was briefly in use.

Personally, I kind of like Cutie Pie.

That's right! I'd completely forgotten about "small mouth bass" and "guppy!" Must be the encroaching senility...

I seem to remember Dory also....

We just remembered another one: B.E.R.M.! It stands for "Big Eyes, Round Mouth" which is what she had very early on.
