Help[Opinions] Re: Baby Nicknames By State
in reply to a message by Billina
Barf. Mostly my reaction to these kind of nicknames. :) Of course we referred to pre-born Ben as "Turnip." I have no problem with these nicknames in general, it's just these sickly cutesy silly ones. Definitely interesting that some of these are "most common." I'd be surprised to hear ANY of them spoken in real life.

I have never known anyone here to call their unborn baby "Starburst" or "Tiniest Bear". "Bear" is cute, but "Tiniest Bear" reeks of pretentiousness (so does "Starburst", for that matter.)

We call Clarisse Twinkle Star or Star sometimes... but her name literally means "star".
We would never list that as her nickname though. Her nickname is Clary or Clarybee.
We also (to the annoyance of others) rewrote the song to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Clary Star, Do you know how loved you are?". My brother sayd "barf" to that one... but Clarisse dances when we sing it, so I mentally gave myself a point.
Tiniest Bear is just awkward though.
