Simone, Tom is a TJ as well but I REFUSED to let anyone call him that. What does your J stand for?
Peachy, Tom was known as Peanut throughout the pregnancy. So much so that we referred to everything as Peanut's...Peanuts room, Peanut's bank account etc. Now that he is out...he doesnt look like a peanut.

We have:
Pickle
Hannah-Bo-Banna
Hannie
Hannah Berry Muffin
Missy Moo (seems to be a fav amongst the OB bubbas!)
Piglet
Chicken
Cherub
Before she was born my Dad asked if we'd picked a name. I said we're keeping it quiet for now.
He said "QFN, I like it" (pronounced "quiffin"). So the bump was called QFN, or Quiff.
But that went out the window as soon as she was born and we had much better nicknames

What a cute thread
Liam is hardly ever called by his name so when someone does say it, it seems a little weird! But I'm sure as he gets older he'll be saying it non-stop
Liam gets called:
Manny
Little man
The boy
Boysie
When my Dad saw Liam for the first time he called him puss . No Dad, he does not look anything like your cat. Thank goodness that one didn't stick.

Jett is called by everyone plain & simple "bubba Jett", even my little nieces call him that. Otherwise I call him my chubba chub.
Gia is GG or geegees by most of my family as well. I actually made that up for my sister's girl as she was nameless for 4 days after birth, so I was thinking of a nickname and came up with "GG" meaning "Gorgeous Girl". But since Gia starts with a "G", she took on the GG instead.

Paris is princess - above all else, fluffy kitten, bob, bob-chicken
Ayja is still ayja-baby alot of the time, angel, ayja-bear, monkey, chickee, little red, "chocolate thunda" ( from the cat in the hat movie) we also use buhda sometimes cos she's sucha tiny wee thing that her tummy is always looking very full and round cos there's no room for the food to go and she eats so much!
knicknames used for both: Flossie, (ayja likes to call people flossie-mallossie), thing one and thing 2(from the cat in the hat again)
Pretty much any other pet name you can think of, but mainly princess, or fluffy kitten for paris, and ayja-baby/ayja-bear for ayja.
or if they're being naughty/grumpy/whingy we tend to say they're being "mookey" which is a word we used to use when they were babies and were having a really crying clingy day.
