In Utero: what are you calling your baby?

[Anonymous]

The tech at our first ultrasound said "You've got a swimmer!," so we called him Swimmer. DS is two months old, and our family still calls him Swimmer sometimes.

This is our second, so we call him "new baby".

Baby Bits. My sister has two daughters that we call Big Bits and Little Bits... so mine is Baby Bits.

Baby J, all my husband asked for was the baby to have a "J" name, but we didn't know if it was going to be a boy or girl, so we just called him Baby J. Well now we know he's a boy, we still can't let go of the Baby J. We have all of our family calling him that too!

Pickle. It stuck after a particularly rough couple of days caused me to ask my husband "how did you get me into this pickle?"

we called my first daughter, "Kicky" because she was WILD in there. Haven't come up with a name yet for #2, gotta wait to see the in-utero personality...

Kepler, after Johannes Kepler, my husband's favorite astrologer. I don't really know how it got started, but even the grandparents-to-be call him that now! We're keeping the real name under wraps until he gets here.

Poppy seed.
babycenter said that at 4 weeks that was the size of the baby, so that was the name

We're also changing food names week to week based on size - blueberry, kumquat, limey (that was one of my favorites, it stuck for a few weeks), avocado, sweet potato.

I had a friend whose husband dubbed theirs "Cletus the Fetus."

"Guppy," because we thought of the fetus as kind of like a little fish swimming around in there. (I know, not biologically accurate, but we thought it was cute anyway!)
