Plus - at least for me - the fetus and infant are two separate entities. For me Poppy was an idea of a child, Miriam was an actual child. Once my child was in my arms she completely stopped being Poppy. And I remember that we were planning to use the nickname Merry Mae when I was pregnant. It did NOT fit her at all.
I've never met anyone who continued to use the bump nickname for their actual baby. We'll tell M about why we called her Poppy, and we have a few poppy-theme things around. But that's because of the story behind the name, how small she was when we discovered I was pregnant.
CKE once talked about a mon naming her son Rowdy because of how it would sound and look at high school football games. It's a clear picture of moms having a specific idea of what they want their child to be instead of allowing the child to develop naturally. Like me continuing to use the nickname Merry Mae and forcing my daughter to fit it, instead of letting a different nickname develop naturally.
