Harry Berry (His name is Harrison and he loves berrys of all kinds)

 

[turnbuckle]

My son's name is Archer.
I call him Archie. Wild.
We'll, sometimes I get crazy and call him buddy.

 

[bosseye]

Yep. My two (7 and 4) get called;

Chicken pants
Sausage pants
Grumpasaurus
Grumpasaurus Rex
Squiggly Pig
Stinky britches
Pickle pants
Poppaloppet

Loads of nonsense, they love it, as do I.

 

[QuantumZebra]

I call my daughters "my bobbaloos" and I call my oldest "snargleboo" and my youngest "snoogleboo"

sooooo nope

 

[Martinski43]

If i had a child that was out of wedlock i would obviously call him/her bastard.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

I have a million nicknames for my kid and it drives my wife crazy. FWIW he says he likes them coming from me and me only.

 

[bunbun777]

I just have cats with real names but still find myself calling them "poody toody" and "poopoo butts".

 

[GodofWine]

Chicken pants
.

I call my daughter that!!!, and I have no clue why?? WHY?!?!?!?!? I wasn't expecting to see anyone else say this.

Is there any logical reason for this name being used?

Call my son Doodles (from dude) sometimes.

'Chumba-Wumba' is also sometimes either of their names.

 

[SuperOrez]

My girls names are Mia and Viola. Sometimes I call Mia, Viola and Viola, Mia.

But most of the time I call them based on what they're doing. Eg: Play dough girl. Chicken girl ect.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I wish my dad called me by any name.

 

[iapetus]

Hemuweasel.

 

[monchi-kun]

Yep!

I sometimes call my son (Grayson) - Graybeats
My daughter (Darcy) - Darfifi

 

[kswiston]

Nothing super atypical.

My wife and I use Pita as a code word when she is being a pain in the ass. She is 3.

 

[TissueBox]

My parents' nickname for me is kinda embarrassing but I don't really have the heart to tell 'em to stop... thankfully we only go out in public intermittently! ^^'

 

[aett]

I call my son Zach "Zork" sometimes, when I'm being silly. We call our daughter Felicity by a nickname, Cici, all of the time because she's too young to say it, much less have a preference.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

I don't have kids, but my dad always referred to us by our chores for the week till we had them done.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

"You little shit"

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

I'm guilty of this and I kind of feel bad. Was wondering if anyone else does this.

Don't be a shmuck. Thats what those bastards want you to feel. It's your job as a parent to embarrass them..

Spoiler

Within reason.

Keeps them on their toes.

 

[v1lla21]

I don't got keeds but I've had like 10 nicknames. Only two have stuck on.

 

[Staccat0]

Is Luccapooka nonsense?

 

[Screaming Meat]

All kinds. She's three and doesn't give a shit. Ironically, every nickname is usually twice as long as her actual name.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I usually call my youngest two by initials. Viera is V, Thais is T, or Baby T since she's a baby. My oldest just gets the first+middle-you're-in-trouble standard nickname.

 

[Frozenprince]

My mother gave my kid the nickname chicken nugget and it's stuck

 

[RulkezX]

My youngest gets called shizzlestick or shiz only by my wife and I. Can't even remember how it came about.

 

[Dali]

I call my daughters "my bobbaloos" and I call my oldest "snargleboo" and my youngest "snoogleboo"

sooooo nope

After reading this post I feel the same way i felt when I learned how plumbuses are made.

 

[III-V]

Hahaha yes, I nicknamed my son Mr Bubbles (Bioshock)

 

[score01]

Yup - none of my kids (I have 2) get called by their proper names.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Yes.

My son, Dash, gets "douche" every once in a all the time.

 

[Fenderputty]

My daugher is "ellie bellie". Her real name is Estella. My friends son is named James Henry and we call him Jimmy Hank.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Call my daughter Grumbus, Strinjo, Jinjo, Stringus, Squeeky Mumbo. A plethora of dumb shit. Otherwise just Piper or Pipedipe.

 

[CorporateClown]

No children, but I have nicknames for:
my cat:
-sweet baby angel
-baby monkey
-rat face

my gf:
-little dorito
-little j
-sweet and sour super tits
-kentucky fried chicken tits
-turbo butt
-and other strange ones

 

[Faiz]

My son's name is Sam and we sometimes call him Sammypants.

More nonsensical is Stinkbutt.

More still is Ted. It's a long story.

 

[Slayven]

Don't have a kid, but my mom still calls me by my childhood nickname even being old as fuck

 

[BTails]

I love this thread. Because parents definitely do this. My 13-month old Daughter is "Silly Goose" or "Goose". No idea when or why I started calling her that, but it's definitely because she's a silly goose. It just FITS.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

My 3-year old daughter is “little bug” and “sky cake” and “squeezie” and “da bug” and “princess” and “super vivi” and “kwazii vivi” (she came up with the last two, and with that last one she based it on her favorite show, The Octonauts).

My 1-year old son is “air bear” (his name is Aaron) and “doof” and “little guy” and “tweak Aaron Keith” (by my daughter and again based on her favorite show). I’m sure he’ll get more as he ages.

Edit: Oh! Kinda related but just tugged at my heart strings when it happened. I also call my daughter “little one.” I’ve done that since she was born. Something I say all the time, without even thinking, is “love you, little one.”

So the other day I say, “Love you, little one.” And without a second’s pause she says, “Love you, big one.”

I melted.

 

[Stinkles]

"Peeps"

 

[TheExecutive]

Of course I do and I dare say anyone who doesn't isn't living.

 

[Stinkles]

Don't have a kid, but my mom still calls me by my childhood nickname even being old as fuck

Dish!

 

[Jopie]

I call my youngest daughter Yoyo because her mood goes up and down over and over again. My older daughter is nicknamed Ice.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Dish!

"Stinkles"

Sorry, seemed funny lol.

 

[Quick]

Don't have a kid, but my mom still calls me by my childhood nickname even being old as fuck

Same. It's basically ingrained to all my family members and family friends.

My friends call me by my proper name, but they are aware of my nickname.

 

[kendrid]

Stoater (he loves stoats) and Squeaker (she loves squirrels).

My daughter & I also have a crab greeting and dance. She is 11 so I know those days are numbered.

 

[teruterubozu]

No because my parents gave me a nonsensical name and I didn't want to bestow that torture on my kid. I can't stand introducing myself. I also hate it when I order something at a food/coffee joint and they ask for my name, I just lie and use a common name like Joe or Frank.

 

[RetroMG]

Of course.

Her name is Mia, and we call her Mia Mouse, (or more often just Mouse) because it rolls of the tongue, like Mickey or Minnie Mouse. From there, it's expanded - Mousey, Mousington, MouseAttack, or Mou-Mou.

Other, non-mouse names: Squish, Lady Squishington of the Astral Clock Tower, or Squishmas. (these are mostly when she has a wet diaper)

She's ten months old, I figure we have to get it all out before she gets old enough to resent us for it.

 

[Aces&Eights]

Daughter's name is Brittanie. So, I naturally call her BrittBurger.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

I've recently taken to calling my daughter Chewy because of the weird roar she makes when in full crying tantrum mode. It only winds her up even more which makes it funnier.

 

[vypek]

Guess nonsense names are super common

I don't have kids but my mom and just my mom will call me by some weird forms of my middle name or some nonsense words in her native language

No children, but I have nicknames for:
my cat:
-sweet baby angel
-baby monkey
-rat face

my gf:
-little dorito
-little j
-sweet and sour super tits
-kentucky fried chicken tits
-turbo butt
-and other strange ones

Those last few names for your girlfriend really threw me for a loop lol

 

[Fletcher]

Yeah. Choo-Choo and Squash. She only gets called by her real name when she's in trouble.

 

[BruceCLea]

My dad and I call each other Baby Ray when we're being whiney.

I've called gf's Nooner in the past. IDK why. I just like the way it sounds.

I'm pretty sure "Nooner" was inspired by a random character in Link's Awakening who goes "neener neener neener!"
