| Do you call bump by their name?
Just wondering do you refer to your baby by their name even though they aren't here yet?
I'm asking because OH and I decided on babbas name a while ago now but we're not telling anyone...so OH doesnt want to use babbas name incase he then lets it slip!!
It just feels a little weird him having a name but us not using it LOL! | | | | Status: Online

| I sometimes call him Ollie (naughty, because we haven't actually decided yet - though everyone apart from OH likes that name  ) but it seems odd to call him anything just yet until I see him face to face | | | | Status: Offline

| We only recently think we've decided on a name, so calling him by name will probably be the next step in seeing how we feel about the name and also a bit of a way to bond more. But it's so new, that it feels weird to call him by name at the moment, but I have done it a few times in conversation with my husband. | | | | Status: Online

| This one is just 'baby' until she comes and we choose her name, but with Evie we had her name chosen before I was even pregnant, after we found out she was a girl i still couldnt use her 'name', it just seemed really strange to call her it  , i dont know why as her name was 100% a definate. xx | | | | Status: Offline
