From the article: 10 Most Popular Fetal Nicknames
Everyone wants to bond with their baby in pregnancy. And going around saying "it" or "the baby" gets old after awhile. Typically you don't even think about nick naming the baby, it just happens. Someone says something funny and Hot Pepper, or whatever else was so funny, is the new code word for baby. Perhaps you had an early ultrasound and your baby looked like a jelly bean or peanut, that can be a quick route to a fetal nick name. Did you have a fetal nick name? Who came up with it? How did it happen? Share Your Fetal Names
Tidbit and Trouble
- We called my first "Tidbit" because our first glimpse of her was at 6 weeks and she was only 3 mm long. The second, we've dubbed "Trouble" because she has put us through so many scares so far and because this pregnancy has been a really tough one for me. We joke that this one's going to give us a run for our money when she gets out, too. (Our first is an unusually easy child and has been since birth, so we're due for a little shake-up.)

Babycakes JR.
- Our KT Bear (real name Katee) (9 year old puppy dog) has always been our baby, just it just made sense to call her Babycakes JR.

the boys named her
- When we told our 5 and 3 year old boys about the new baby they named her Raddish Bottompocket. I have no idea why they picked that but it stuck!

Skelator
- When we got our first set of sonogram picture you could clearly see the baby's skeleton. My husband said look babe we are having a baby skelator!(character from an 80's cartoon) From there forward it's been called skelator.

Elmo/Nemo
- Our baby was the same size as a sesame seed when we found out, & who lives on Sesame St, but Elmo. I still call him Elmo, but my husband calls him Nemo, coz it took us so long to find him

DUE TO HAPPY MOMMIES SOON
- So far, we've called him/her either Bun (Bun in the oven) or Peanut. c: We'll more than likely call him/her by their name once we determine the gender and get it picked out.

Gummy Bear
- At our 2nd ultrasound (due to some complications) we were 9 weeks and the ultrasound tech said they look like gummy bears at this stage and sure enough we agreed and our little one has been called our gummy bear.

Something
- I called my first child (who's name is now Aubella) Carrot Nose, because I found out was pregnant on Easter!! :)
- —Guest Themummybird
nickname
- Squid was chosen because as I was looking at a drawing of a human before it is even considered a fetus; the head, tail, arm/leg buds seemed like a squid. Complete with buldging eyes. It was confirmed to me that I was pregnant @ 5 weeks. Amazing! Now my family except my mom and dad call our little one Squid.
- —Guest Leedo Squid
Little Bean
- Little Bean is what immediately came to mind early on because the baby was the size of a bean. Now I call it Babe.
- —Guest Guest Priscilla
Bugaboo
- When I first got pregnant, I had a dream that I was going to give birth to a moose. My cousin pointed out there were a lot of moose at a restaurant, Bugaboo Steak House, so Bugaboo stuck and we called him Bug for short. Now that he's here, he's still called Bug/Bugaboo. :)
