Yeah, similar to this one and "Little Despot," ours is Tiny Overlord or Stormageddon. I see a theme here.

Simply, "Fuss."

Sometimes, "Baby Fuss," "Little Fuss," or "Fuss and feathers."

Fussafluff.

When he's happy, he's Chunkafluff or Honeyfluff, or Babychunk.

Bucket of fuss, usually sung in the context of "It's [baby's name] potato head, and her bucket of fuss"

I've called both my kids "advertisements for fertility clinics" and "advertisements for birth control" depending on their actions.

I did a lot of name-based puns.

(Did anyone else do that in elementary school music class? I just replaced the pie stuff with fussy baby stuff, like "cry", "fussy", "yell and scream", and "temper tantrum.")

Lol, my dad still calls me a PITA.

I've called my kids - CrankyPants McGee, and Fusser Busser,

Am I missing something? Why all the 'budget' names? Where did they come from (since there seem to be multiple people who use it)?

Pita. As in, Pain In The Ass. "She was a total pita today." and "Stop being suchas pita!"

The little terrorist. My DH made me stop.
