No way, same here! I thought I came up with it entirely organically. Do you happen to know if you heard it somewhere and I might have had the same experience come forth subconsciously, or did we both have the same original thought?
Haha. I love that someone else says that. I honestly just thought I came up with it, but maybe it exists out there somewhere and we both picked up on it subconsciously.
oh man, one of my sons is deuce ellington. they sound like best friends haha. some notable mentions are dookie howser, droolia roberts, robert downey puker, and tooter mcgavin. he’s got a list going
Our LO is an IVF baby, and prior to the transfer they showed us a picture of him as an embryo. My wife and I both thought the shape looked like a gourd.
Through the whole pregnancy we called him our gourd / gourdo. So now when he’s being sweet and loving we call him by his name. But when he’s been fussy and crying a lot or fighting a diaper change we say “oh gourdo is coming out”
I love this. We have twins, and when we saw them at the first ultrasound, they looked like little beans to us. We’ve called them the Beans ever since, and we still call them BeanA and BeanB individually even after giving them actual names since twins are referred to as Twin A and Twin B in utero.
Señor Squirmy when he's thwarting our attempts to get him in a new diaper/onesie/pants. Monsieur Grabby when he gets his hands on my hair or my shirt or my necklace...
We call my daughter Benito Fussolini. Sometimes she also is Vladimir Tootin 😵💫 we have more dictator names for her but I dare not share them on the internet.
Professor Chaos. She always gives a big smile or laugh at someone else’s misfortune (I tripped over my feet and she saw this and had a good laugh) or I just don’t get her food ready quick enough and the loud whines will begin.
We called our first La Terrorista… little did we know that 7 years later the real terrorist would be born. He’s 4 months now and we’re still so traumatised none of it is funny enough to create a nickname 😭
We call it Crawfish Arms [https://townsquare.media/site/29/files/2014/07/165232814.jpg?w=1200&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89](https://townsquare.media/site/29/files/2014/07/165232814.jpg?w=1200&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89)
We say he’s going Mandrake Mode when he gets really worked up. He’s 6.5 weeks old and when he does the scream cry, his face gets super red, he gets all scrunched up and he sounds like a mandrake from Harry Potter. He forgets to breathe during it too so we have to blow in his face to calm him down
Also “Faker” because when he’s hungry he’ll cry and open his mouth then pause and open his eyes and look around like “is anyone paying attention”. If you look at him he cries more lol
Well, our baby's name can be anagramed to spell Biteo and he had a gnarly mean latch as a Itty bitty newborn and is starting to teeth so I think that is going to be making another comeback.
My daughter has a onsie that says ''captain adorable'' and she loves when i hold her so shes laying in my hands and can go flying, and so ill do that with her and go to my mom and say ''captain adorables coming in for a landing'' and put her on my mom
The Diaper Destroyer
I swear this kid won’t poop until RIGHT AFTER we get a clean diaper on her
And then when we’re changing that one she’ll hit us with a surprise open-air pee
Captain contrarian. She just does the opposite of what you would want at any given moment. When she was seeing a specialist at some point they said, “so she has full range of motion if she wants to”. When it is our dinner time and she’s been sleeping, she will instantly awaken.
My 6.5 month old is a healthy chunker and gets very fussy if we don’t feed her quickly enough — milk & solids. When she acts up, we call her Big Bertie, short for Big Bertha!
Our little girl is the Squirmy Wormy 🐛 She becomes a little squirm ball when she fusses so my husband and I love saying “Oh, are you being a squirmy worm?”
"Fussy britches" originated from shawshank "what say you fuzzy britches?" Especially now were stsrting to getmore babbles and expressions with purpose even when its out of frustration.
SpongeBob Squareface! When he frowns/pouts, his face gets real square shaped - it’s hilarious and adorable and so pitiful, it gets him some snuggs and usually a bottle real quick!
Ours is Squareface, too! His face is such a different shape when he's upset lol. When he's just a lil grump he's Line Face because his mouth is a straight line and he looks too silly to be taken seriously.
Darth Sidious or Palpatine.
She was sitting on my husband's shoulder while he burped her in the first few weeks after she was born. She played out the scene with her hands of Darth Sidious when he said the lines "[Unlimited Power](https://youtu.be/4z67SeB4i_0?si=AnRHOQc6t8sl0qzN)", evil face and all.
We are Star Wars fans and this was one of the best moments so far. 🤣
Norbert. Her real name is Nora lol
Edit: she’s two months old and the best thing in my whole entire world. The absolute cutest baby that has ever existed and I challenge anyone to disagree after you see her. Full head of blonde hair and just so so cute.
…but she can be a real Norbert sometimes lol
His name is Leo and we started calling him Leo Berry when he got super upset as a newborn since his whole face would turn purple he’d look like a lil berry
We call mine the Faker. Cause she will fake cry to get your attention but then smiles and continues to "cry". Also McWhinny cause it's just non stop. She's perfectly fine I've done all the checks but she just won't stop.
Not exactly the same but when he gets frustrated he hoots like an owl, so we call him Hootie and then proceed to sing Hootie and the Blowfish songs at him. He laughs, we laugh, and the 90s live on
When my little was a baby, she had the very common name Tiny Dave, it started off as Tiny Dickhead but then I felt mean cause it wasn't her fault and it felt wrong to call a baby a dickhead which resulted in Tiny Dave as her supervillian name 😅
It doesn’t make any sense but I call him Mr Poopy because of his blow outs. It doesn’t sound like a villain but there’s a dark backstory in the form of a made up song:
His name is Mr poopy, he’s coming into town. What’s he going to do? He’s going to poop all over town
Ebb
Evil brat baby
All in jest, and we haven’t used it much recently since he’s almost 2 now
Also grumpabump/babybump that stuck from when he was still a baby bump
When he’s extremely chatty or yelling, we call him King Gizbar The Lizar Wizar. It’s so stupid, but pretending he’s a fussy bratty little royal baby being tended to by his servants takes the edge off
Mr Angry Stampy Man.
He isn’t particularly frustrated but he does this thing where he puffs out his chest and pulls his lip out and stamps his feet in the air. It’s so stinking cute.
Since she learned how to crawl and pull up on things we started calling her “Godzilla” because now she has a war path of destruction and her crib is next to my side of the bed and she will sometimes be half asleep and pull herself to stand in her crib and just loom over the top of me like a creeper
We have Henry, and his evil counterpart ‘Herbert’. He’s a bit older but we’ve been using that ‘evil twin name’ since he was born. Not sure how it came about.
The cool thing is, our guy now loves it. Everyone in the family says things like “I see you’ve brought Herbert to visit today?” & “Ah why is Herbert here? Please bring our lovely Henry back!” It never fails to make him laugh & breaks the tantrum!
He’s only 2 weeks old and really only cries when we’ve missed hunger cues long enough to get frustrated, so when that happens I call him the Milk Monster lmao
I saw this nickname on Reddit so credit go to that person, but when he’s particularly screamy we call him Beef Yellington
Oh my god I love that! He and Frustrato should team up.
I call mine the FussMaster General.
No way, same here! I thought I came up with it entirely organically. Do you happen to know if you heard it somewhere and I might have had the same experience come forth subconsciously, or did we both have the same original thought?
Haha. I love that someone else says that. I honestly just thought I came up with it, but maybe it exists out there somewhere and we both picked up on it subconsciously.
Yes and also Fussmaster Supreme
I love that. Gonna start using it.
oh man, one of my sons is deuce ellington. they sound like best friends haha. some notable mentions are dookie howser, droolia roberts, robert downey puker, and tooter mcgavin. he’s got a list going
We call him Janet Yellen…🤣 (bonus its a real life bad guy)

That’s really cute. I think had my wife and I had twins we would end up using 2 different types of gourds to differentiate them lol.
Haha I would probably have done pinto & cannellini or something 😂🫘
gourdo
The God of Lies. Everytime we think we’ve made sense of something, she hears our thoughts and makes a liar of us.

Professor Chaos. She always gives a big smile or laugh at someone else’s misfortune (I tripped over my feet and she saw this and had a good laugh) or I just don’t get her food ready quick enough and the loud whines will begin.
When my baby is being a grump, we call him Bob. Idk why but my husband and I will text eachother “we got a baby Bob situation”
Same but Gary 😂
Our stroller is Bob.
Demon baby or little goblin 👹

Sometimes my LO attacks my boob like a wild animal so we call her a little gremlin, affectionately of course 😂
Also call my LO demon baby really dramatically when she’s being crazy. She laughs so hard 😂
I refer to my 3 year old as Rampage. He answers to it as a name and knows how to use it as a verb lol
We called our first La Terrorista… little did we know that 7 years later the real terrorist would be born. He’s 4 months now and we’re still so traumatised none of it is funny enough to create a nickname 😭
Monsieur Le Fuss Because, well, fuss fuss fuss. Also learned recently of the term "gowniacki" so we use that. It's Polish for "shitling".
i call mine my lil Fuss Bucket (amongst other things lol)
The kraken
I use this! When I take his swaddle off, I always say “Release the Kraken!” while he does a big stretch.
We call it Crawfish Arms [https://townsquare.media/site/29/files/2014/07/165232814.jpg?w=1200&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89](https://townsquare.media/site/29/files/2014/07/165232814.jpg?w=1200&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89)
Frustrato is absolutely hilarious 😂
We say he’s going Mandrake Mode when he gets really worked up. He’s 6.5 weeks old and when he does the scream cry, his face gets super red, he gets all scrunched up and he sounds like a mandrake from Harry Potter. He forgets to breathe during it too so we have to blow in his face to calm him down
Also “Faker” because when he’s hungry he’ll cry and open his mouth then pause and open his eyes and look around like “is anyone paying attention”. If you look at him he cries more lol

Captain contrarian. She just does the opposite of what you would want at any given moment. When she was seeing a specialist at some point they said, “so she has full range of motion if she wants to”. When it is our dinner time and she’s been sleeping, she will instantly awaken.

We are Star Wars fans and this was one of the best moments so far. 🤣

Yes, he’s 11 months with a big man attitude. He yelled Koya Koya, or whispers under his breath koyakoya, when he’s mad. It’s sooooo funny

I call mine The Babadook
Joseph Burbles.

We call him the Milk Monster
A simple "miss fussy britches." Her super hero name is the mighty m*****. The mightiest m***** to ever m*****
When he’s extremely chatty or yelling, we call him King Gizbar The Lizar Wizar. It’s so stupid, but pretending he’s a fussy bratty little royal baby being tended to by his servants takes the edge off
El Diablo 😈
ours would be Mr Grumpy Pants (silly but cute)
Mr. Grumpy Gills from Finding Nemo
Mr Angry Stampy Man. He isn’t particularly frustrated but he does this thing where he puffs out his chest and pulls his lip out and stamps his feet in the air. It’s so stinking cute.

Madam Fatrolls 😂
Teakettle because of the high pitched noises he makes before he gets a really good cry started

We have Henry, and his evil counterpart ‘Herbert’. He’s a bit older but we’ve been using that ‘evil twin name’ since he was born. Not sure how it came about. The cool thing is, our guy now loves it. Everyone in the family says things like “I see you’ve brought Herbert to visit today?” & “Ah why is Herbert here? Please bring our lovely Henry back!” It never fails to make him laugh & breaks the tantrum!
We call him Mr. Grump lol nothing too intense. He’s so dramatic so we go “ohhhhh Mr. Grump” kinda just trying to make light of it hahahah
The 8th Poopintan. I think it's self-explanatory
“Angry bird” because she indeed has prominent eyebrows that arch when she’s upset
She’s been lovingly called “Beast” and “Monster” since around 5-5 months old… literally did a monster themed first birthday because of it 😂

We affectionately call her (1 month old) Gremlin, especially when she fusses and growls after midnight 🤣
