Haha, I love it! Our first kid was code-named “baby thunder” before being born (we delayed telling some friends so we wouldn’t steal their “baby thunder”). The name stuck around for a couple months after she was born before we trailed off using it, so it really was her “baby name” :p
- robotresearcher 5y agoWe did a similar thing. Early on, our toddler proposed the name Bin-ban for his upcoming sister, and it stuck. We have a lovely video of the toddler explaining to Grannie a few hours after the birth 'her name is Bin-ban'. 'Oh <long pause>, yes, but she has a real name'. We called her Bin-ban for a few more weeks until she sort of grew into her 'real' name. That beautiful little original name is a very fond memory for us.
