top 100 pet names or nicknames for baby

You may have been one of the _____ (lucky, unfortunate) ones to have been given a pet name (or nickname) at an early age. Perhaps it stuck, or it may be a distant memory.

Me? I never had a nickname or a pet name growing up. My name, Erika, is not very nickname friendly and my parents weren’t the pet-name-giving types. I felt pretty neglected when I got older, hanging around with all of my cool, nick-name bearing circle of friends, so I worked with them to try and come up with something clever. I think “Ka” may have lasted for a few months, but never really stuck and so I had to wait until I got married to get my own term of endearment. In case you’re curious….I’m now known as Rama (short for Babe-o-Rama) by my husband. I think I came up with it and we both call each other Rama now – have for years. I like it and it gets quite a bit of attention – people are always like, “What did you call him/her?”

Now that I’m a Mom (and totally the pet-name-giving type). I have several nicknames for my daughter Ava Jaclyn. Her primary nickname is Goose or Goosey (a derivative of Silly Goose). She also gets referred to as Baby Girl or AJ. I’m not sure where her pet names were born, but more often than not, they. just. happen. If nothing materializes and you are dying to give your kid a sweet or funny pet name, here is a list of the top 100 Pet Names (or nicknames) to consider for your little girl or boy (not including the basics ones, such as: sweetheart, dear, babe, etc.)
