We started calling our kiddo Peanut in the hospital. My mom jokes that he's now deserving an upgrade, to Walnut, since he's gotten so big.
Droolface is a new one, inspired by his constantly leaking mouth.
Messmaker is a rarity, but sometimes incredibly appropriate, due to the volume of stuff coming from one end or the other.
I'm sure there will be more nicknames coming from grandparents, friends and aunts and uncles as the years go by. It's so much fun to hear the cute names people give the little guy.
What nicknames do your children have? Who gave it to them?
My oldest is peanut, missy mouse, or beauty butt (has a beauty mark)....My middle is Little man, or mr. monster....my youngest is chubba or some variation of it (chubba choo-choo, chubbers, chubs, etc)....aka...mommy's sanity saver...lol

From the kid's perspective - I have no idea where my parents came up with the names they gave me, but they seem to fall into three categories: unusual (Ludmilla, Priscilla), sports-related (champ, sport), or foods (pumpkin, sweetiepie).
All I know is, if they call me by my actual name I listen up, because it doesn't happen too often!

When I was young and naive, I had babies and thought I would give them short names so they wouldn't have nicknames (I didn't like the shortened version of my name). However, our oldest child was named Corey and we called him Cor for short. When I was pregnant with child #2, my mom teased and said we should call him or her Encore! You know, Cor and Encore. Haha Mom!
Anyway, baby #2 came and was named Tammy. We proceeded to call her things like Tamborine, Tammyrene (like Tammy and Tamborine put together) and then my husband would call her Reno (kind of short for Tamborine I guess). She is now usually called Tammy, but her dad still calls her Reno sometimes. Oh well. So much for the no nickname thing.
Munchkin was always a good one too.

Emily Anne:Jemily Jan, Jem, Em, she was peanut when she was little, and Ko-peek-a-nut, sometimes she wants to be called Sara (got me?)
Kaitlin: Kate, Katerator, Katie, Lovey, Miss Kate,
I was peanut as well. Infact as a child I was in the Little Miss Peanut Pageant. As I got a little older Bean was another as was Linguini Legs. Didn't care for that...as it was because of my long skinny legs (which I now love) I also got "Tiff" in high school for my resemblance to the singer Tiffany.
I know the blog was originally for nicknames for our children. However the few I call my son are rather personal and I'm sure he would be mortified if I posted them online. I also don't like it when people who aren't all that close to us call him by the one nickname (his name shortened) it's kinda like you have to be in our 'inner circle' to call him that. I do however like the nickname his principal gave him "Double A" Plus with our last name it's almost a given (esp. for a boy) that he'll be called that.
BOO BOO! (peek a boo was his favorite game!) Now I call Zac "Zac-a-roni" or "Zac-a-potatoes" (all of these he HATES and I will continue to use!--Parent Perogative.)
My son has lots of nicknames...I STILL call him baby...I am sure I am going to have to stop soon...he's 3 1/2! My husband calls him Buddy. My husband's family calls him RJ (though he doesn't respond to that....) My friend calls him Little Dude. If you ask him if one of those names are his name, he says no and tells you his full name including the junior!! He is too cute!!
Dingleberry, douchebag, sizzlechest, taker of my youth, moneypit...you know terms of endearment.

Stinky-poo is what my mom started calling my daughter when she was a baby. I didn't like it at first because her poop really didn't smell that bad when she was an infant so I didn't think that nickname fit my little angel. Once she started eating food and started drinking formula (I breast fed her until she was about 5 months) than her poo really did start to stink and I too adopted the nickname "stinky-poo" for my daughter.
