Many pregnant women like to give their bump a nickname because it’s a great way to bond with their unborn baby boy or baby girl.
Using a pet name or nickname can be a great idea because if chosen well, a nickname can be personal memorable and a lot of fun.
Some of the main advantages and common reasons for using an alternative name for your baby bump include: being able to share an inside joke with your partner; keeping your chosen first name a secret before your baby is born; helping to bond with your unborn baby; and of course because a nickname is a lot more interesting then referring to your fetus as simply “baby”!

Advice For Choosing The Perfect Baby Bump Name
There are unlimited possibilities when coming up with a nickname for the baby in your belly, so why not have fun and let your imagination run wild!
Some other things to consider when choosing a name for your unborn baby include:
- Keep It Simple: Remember the best nicknames are often short, memorable and have a great ring to them.
- Balance: If you are going for a funny nickname, you might want to consider striking the right balance between funny, rude and offensive!
- Test Run The Name: Once you’ve come up with a potential name or two, start using the name and see if it sticks. If you (and perhaps your partner) start using this name without thinking about it, you know you’re on to a winner!
- More Than One: If there’s more than one nickname you like for you baby bump then don’t worry, because there’s nothing to say you can’t have two or even three nicknames. Particularly if one is a cute nickname for the baby in your belly, one is on the ruder side and one is a funny baby bump name.
