Audience participation: name the baby

2 May

So I have about two brain cells left now that it’s the end of the week, but I don’t have the energy to get them close enough to rub them together.  Therefore, it must be time for YOU to send ideas to me.  After all, I’ve been told to take a break, and somebody‘s gotta pick up the slack, right?  Right?

I’ve been thinking that I need some kind of nickname for this baby I’m busy gestating, but can’t seem to come up with anything interesting.  Maybe because it requires more than two brain cells to rub together.  My sister-in-law Lindsay calls her little one “Bun” (due to arrive any day now!) and my cyberpal IndyComp0T1 calls hers “PK” (which stands for “Potential Kid” and is the name she and her hubby have been using since they started thinking about getting pregnant — love it!).

The nicknames I see most frequently online are Peanut and Little Bean; Peanut just seems too generic and Bean was actually what I’d been calling the little bean I lost in November (privately, as in, in my own head).  I just can’t bring myself to reuse it.

So whaddya say, dear readers?  Got any creative ideas for me?
