[Opinions] Re: Nicknames
in reply to a message by Maegen
My mother did with all but one of us. I was Snoopy, Brogan was Thumper (she kicked) and Dane was Beth (thanks to my other brother insisting that the baby was a girl). I liked it, it makes the child feel more real (at least from the point of view of someone not carrying the child) and allows you to identify it without giving away what you want to call the baby. And sometimes it'll carry over, Brogan and I still get more Thumper/Snoopy stuff than anyone could every want and sometimes we still call Dane "Baby Beth" when he is being particularly moody.
