I love this post - we call our kids several things:
My daughter Kyla is called: Kyla-butts or lala-butts. I have NO idea why, but I can't stop saying it - I'm addicted. Even when I try to stop I can't.
We call all 3 of them Monkey-butts, because my husband thinks their perfectly round little tiny butt's look just like, well - monkey's butts.
My middle son is called Bubba by his dad - even though he is the size of a toothpick and to me looks nothing like a child you would call bubba.
My husband calls them Monkey nuggets as well ???? Don't ask me?
My youngest is HUGE - so my husband calls him chubbs. I told him he needs to stop, and he's working on it, but he's just so stalky and strong that it's cute at this point.

I love seeing everyone's nicknames! For my first son his original nickname was Bups which evolved into Buppy, and then I guess I have a thing with the letter B because he is now 3 and I call him Bug, Bugaloo, Beegaloo and Beega - all of which have nothing to do with his name which is Sean. For my second who is now 9 months - his name is Grant and he is a big, chubby guy so I call him Grantioso Maximiso and I even have a ridiculous song to go with it. I've been trying to come up with an easier, shorter nickname but everytime I try something out my older one says "no, his nickname is Grantioso" and if I accidentally call him one of my first son's nicknames I get a glare and a comment from him (from the older one, not from the baby :)

My 9 month old Wilhelm is called Will of course but more often then not we call him bus (it's Swedish and means that someone is playing in a naughty but cute fashion, it is pronounces so it rimes with juice) or any variation of that such as busbus bus-troll, buselito. He also goes by prinskorv (Swedish again and it means prince-sausage), troll and he has inherited his daddy's nickname of Mr. Grumpy-pants.

It was cute to read someone called their baby "bus" rhyming with "juice."
One of our nicknames for our baby is "boose" which doesn't really mean anything, but also rhymes with "juice" and now I can pretend it means what the Swedish "bus" means ("playing in a naughty but cute fashion") because that really fits our Boose!
So other nicknames
Boose
Goose
Moose
Princess Boose
Ava June Beauvais
Junie
Goonie Junie
Monkey
We wanted to call her little bird, but she is more like a monkey than a bird!

Don't even ask how many parents tell their crying babies that there's no crying in baseball. I don't know if it's that you lose creativity or that you really weren't all that creative to begin iwth.

Well, Griffin is 8 months old, so the nicknames shift from week to week. Here are the ones that have stuck:
* Pterodactyl -- because he sounds like a baby pterodactyl when excited
* Punk -- short for "punkin"
* Gerber -- because with his big rosey cheeks and blue eyes, people say he looks like the Gerber baby (see pix at www.theFarrows.com)
* Sugar Lump -- from one of his favorite Elizabeth Mitchell songs
* Buddy or Bubba -- those two are interchangeable
* Any variation of Bear -- Little Bear, Baby Bear, Sleepy Bear, etc. You get the idea
* Crab Apple -- of course this is only used when he's crabby and we think it's funny.
When I blog about him though (www.GriffinsMom.typepad.com) I rarely use his nicknames. They are much more of a verbal thing than a written thing.
Sometimes I think the silliness of nicknames makes it easier to get through the rough parts of parenting. In other words, the nicknames are more for us than they are for them.

For a while at 2 or 3 my son Nicholas was *extremely* fond of sweet gherkin pickles. He therefore became Nicholas Pickleby, then Nickle & Pickle. He's now grown and still answers to them all - but only from his family.

I love the "no crying in baseball" comment. My daughter is now 2 and will actually stop crying just to tell me "it's not baseball," then return to wailing.
By the way - Jillian does have a weird nickname. If anyone has seen Gilmore Girls, they might remember Sally Struthers' character had gnomes which she named. Pregnant and cranky, I spent a lot of time lying around watching Gilmore DVDs - and my poor husband watched with us. When our daughter was born, wearing the little hat they put on in the hospital, he decided she resembled a gnome. So she's Pierpont, just like one of Sally Struthers' gnomes.
Otherwise, we're not that creative! Jillybean, Monkey, Monks, Monkey britches, Princess Pooty Pants . . .

We call Megan "Rooster", from her NICU days.
We call Gavin "See-mook", which is a mispronunciation of a Russian term of endearment for a little boy. The actual word sounds more like "See-noak".
My husband's family loves nicknames. No one in his family actually uses their actual name. He is the oldest of 8, and their nicknames are Pard (Christopher), Rose (Laura), Mac (Shae), Kitty (Stacy), Buddha (Paige), Bones (Desirae), Bucky or Buddy (Brieanne), and Diamond (Ashley). It took me a while to learn all the names and nicknames, which I had to do before I met them all. :)
We don't have nicknames in my family. Seriously. I don't think my parents have ever called me anything but Lauren.

So my poor 7-year-old named "Devlynn" went to daycare with a little girl who could NOT say her name and called her "Dolphant" (it sounds like a cross between Dolphin and elephant) and the nick name stuck. It has now taken on a life of it's on and the poor child will come to: Dolph, Dolphy Dolphant, Doll Face, Doll, Dolphain (said with a french accent) and many other variations on the origional mispronounced name. Poor child.

Where to begin... there are so many nicknames! Here are a few:
"Little Pea"
"Smunchikins"
"Baby Lex"
"Funky Monkey Man"
"Smoochy "
"Scoot-a-ma-jack-a-rooter" (A favorite! This and all variations: Scoot, Scooter, Scoot-a-rooter evolved once he started to "scoot" around the house!)
"Smoopy McPooperson"
"The Infamous Booty Bomber"
It seems as if there are new nicknames every time we turn around, although many are short-lived as they turn out to be too... well, frankly, BORING!

My youngest is about to be 2, and when I was pregnant we called him Papoose (from the Native American word for a baby on it's mother's back), which evolved into Lil'Poose and The Poose. We also have Punkins, Little Man, My Precious (think Lord of the Rings only not weird & creepy), Slick, Sport, Ace, The Baby, Baby Boy, Little Pooter, and a host of others I can't think of at the moment.
My middle one is about to be 7, and he is Bric-a-brac, Captain Underpants, Big'un, The Boy, and Son.
My oldest is 12 1/2, and she is most commonly called Bay, Sweet-Pea, and my own invention (and favorite): Wolver-tween.
