I think nicknames are fun, but I hate mushy-gushy ones like "Sweet Ums" and stuff like that. When my son was a baby and up until he was about 4 or 5 I called him Gump, cause he looked like a baby Gump Worsley. Before he was born I called him Festus The Fetus, and our daughter was Emily The Embryo. The only post-partem nickname I've had for my daughter is Dogger, a child-of-unwed-parents-ization of daughter. I've also called my son Mini-Me, cause he is.
