A Nickname to Remember
Decorating my daughter’s nursery was no freaking joke. To some it may look like a pink dragon threw up all over the room but to me it’s awesome! I’ve never completely decorated a room like I have her nursery. From finding cheap bedroom furniture to making curtains, I did it all on a budget. And there’s so much to look at, I can tell she LOVES her room. She really does. She laughs at the mobile I made her, and smiles at her name on he wall above the diaper changer.
I also have a special spot for my favorite nickname. We started with Spawnie. That was her first nickname. Then came Ladybug, Junebug (born in July). Little , Lil’ J and here at home I call her a slew of other things.
My husband likes to call her poopy. I sometimes call her Baybee, Little J, Chunky Cheeks, and Cranky Butt. But somehow the nickname I call her more than anything is a name I didn’t see myself using for my daughter–fearing it would cause her to be some sort of Diva. Oh, she is a Diva already. Anyway, I call her my Pretty Pretty Princess.
I was inspired by a saying for little girls: “Princess: Daughter of a Heavenly King”. What better way to remind her of who she is and where she came from?
My friend Danielle sent us the book “Gigi: God’s Little Princess.” It was the first book I read to her outside the womb and I want to read it to her often.
I decided I wanted something to remind her of her divine nature so I asked Inspire Your Walls for a favor. I needed my princess quote in a size perfect for above her entryway, and the one blank space left on her wall. I wanted a crown to dot the “i” in Princess, and I wanted it all in a pretty white font. They did it all, fast!
If you’re obsessed with vinyl like I am, check out Inspire Your Walls.
When I got it in the mail I was head over heals excited. I didn’t want to just put it on the wall since we won’t be living here forever and this was something I want to take with us. So I bought and painted a wood panel, and stuck the vinyl on after.
Now, over her doorway hangs a saying I hope she’ll look at and reflect on for years every time she leaves her room. The true meaning of her nickname, and who she really is.
Do you use a nickname?

![A couple of days ago Jayda and I went to our first book tour event to see Rick Riordan, the author of our beloved Percy Jackson series on stage in Austin. We got to hear a little bit more about the Disney+ TV series coming in December, plus an announcement about two new Percy Jackson books. Which I know, know… I’ve been raving about these books for YEARS and yall are probably sick of it, but they’ve been so monumental in raising Jayda and we are over the moon excited to see an adaptation that in the words of Uncle Rick, “is [actually] good.” Jayda decided to channel her @leahsavajeffries (playing Annabeth Chase) and wear her hair in giant puff pigtails and she looked so adorable. Such a great night surrounded by so many people who share a love for the same story. It’s been inspiring to watch this story grow in popularity through the years and I have a feeling it’s about to reach a whole other level.
PS: I know I’m only a few months into being a parent of a teen, but so far? 👌🏾

Izzy is sooo many things!
Fat Mama, Juicy Girl, Crabby Patty, Izzy Bizzy, Bizzness Lady, Busy Izzy, Iz Biz, and Im sure that on the spur of the moment I’ve come up with some other randoms, lol.
Our nickname started out as Junebug, since he was due in June (born June 7th), but that has since morphed into Buggie Bug, and then for some reason Buggles. He also earned Zach-Attack quite rightly being that he can be super destructive for a 15 month old, and lately I’ve been calling him Zippy because he’s so darned fast! Oh the things I can’t wait to tell his future wife 🙂
I’m also a blog follower via Google 🙂
What a beautiful reminder that every good and perfect gift comes from heaven above!
I also follow via google reader.
She is a Doll!!! And, I love your idea with the vinyl wall decal. Haven’t even began on my nursery, but hoping to become inspired soon!
I’m a new reader and spent an entire day reading your pregnancy story 🙂 Congrats on the gorgeous little one!
We call our daughter Chana B. (Her middle name is Brocha.) Even her babysitter calls her that! hehe
I follow your blog.
The Princess sign is very nice! Not only is it something that she can like when she’s younger but it is also very fitting for when she is older too. We decorated our son’s room with baby bears so I guess it kind of works that I call him “Boo Bear” at home. 🙂
my son is called Juice or Buddy or Crazy or Destructo
My daughter is Scoot or Scooter or Drama Mama
We have lots of nicknames for our boy. . .mostly, though, he’s the Bug. Popular, for sure.
I love your sign! I think it’s awesome.
I’ve actually been planning a vinyl on painted wood for our laundry room after you inspired me the first time – hopefully a nursery won’t be far behind!! Love the quote and the pink! You’re right; it IS awesome =) But a pink dragon sounds pretty awesome too.
So cute! From the moment we saw the first Ultrasound we have been calling the baby Peanut. We just found out its a little Miss Peanut!
Oh, the nicknames we give our kids. My current fave for Carson is C-Dizzle.
Very cute sign.
I follow you!
she is a lil princess that is for sure…..and a sweet pretty one at that…..I Love the way you dress her up – & most of all love the way you love her – its adorable 🙂
That is beautiful!! We called our baby Little Love and Cupcake until we knew what we were having. And now we call him Little Man and the Hubs calls him Buddy. I’m sure once he’s born we will come up with tons more nicknames! 🙂
My Addison has so many nicknames! We call her Addie, Monkey, Doodle, Doodles, Doodle Bug, Sweet Pea, Love Bug, Sugar, Sweetness, etc.
It seems as though we’re always coming up with something new! 🙂
I love how the “i” is dotted with the crown, so creative! See, these are the kinds of ideas I have to steal because I lack the creative gene!
I call my daughter Moo. It started when I brought her home and my sisters saw me breastfeed for the first time. They said she reminded them of a baby cow trying to suckle from a mommy cow. And I wasn’t going to call her cow so thus the nickname Moo was born and it’s stuck ever since. I’m sure that will change once she gets like ten.
Yes, we named my son specifically so his initials would be “R.J.” and we call him that!
I’m a follower!
I follow your blog.
I LOVE that! LOVE IT!! So pretty.
I’ve actually been looking for something perfect to hang over my daughter’s bed in her room. We just moved her to a big girl bed, and the wall above her bed just looks…..Empty. I need to find something STAT!
And, I follow your blog.
when we first found out we were pregnant I started calling her Bean and then it became Booger, which my husband hated so it didn’t last long. Once I could feel her moving I began to call her Monkey and sometimes I still refer to her by that one and it works out because (as of right now) she LOVES all things monkey. Mostly though everyone either calls her Yanna or Yanna Banana (imagine the A’s pronounced with the “ah” sound).
oh yeah, and I follow your blog!
My oldest daughter’s nicknames are Moody and Allie. My son’s nickname is Jay. My youngest daughter’s nicknames are Twinkle, Pumpkin and Chalupa.
I love that you put it on a wood panel instead of directly on the wall! Such a good idea! No babies yet, so no nicknames, but I’m a huge fan so I’m sure there will be multiple nicknames on day!
I love this idea!
We didn’t have nicknames growing up, but I call my husband Lulu (which I completely understand is a girl’s name to most Americans… and a dog’s name to many Brazilians, so he kind of loses out either way), but it is my little name for him so he HAS to keep loving me 🙂
Nicknames for our kids change as they grow. Right now the kids are Lil Chicken and Sweet Pickles. 🙂

You are so creative! I love all your special touches to the babe’s room 🙂
I love it!! It’s so adorable! And a great reminder of her Divine Nature! 🙂

We use Princess for both my girls too. It’s quite appropriate seeing as they ARE children of God. 🙂 Love the sign. For Ash we use Cutie, Stinker, Beautiful, Girl, and Lovey. For Britt we use Pretty, Chubby, Sissy, and Britt-Britt.
The Princess sign is beautiful! I had so many nicknames for my daughter.. from (the womb) Tic Tac, baby tortellini, to (outside of the belly) Stinky butt, booger head, little monster, & topina (which is Italian for ‘little mouse’)
My son we call him bubba. Don’t know why, but we do.
My daugther’s nickname was actually given to her by my son. Her name is Marissa, but my son couldn’t say her name and could only say “sissa” So now the whole family calls her that and only when she is in trouble we call her by her given name.
I’m still pregnant so we call him “peanut” or “pumpkin”. I can’t wait to see his little face and come up with more nicknames (of course he needs a real name first – but we are waiting til we see him to choose) 🙂
Really like the princess sign, a lot of princess stuff sort of wigs me out but that sign is such a perfect message. I absolutely love it.
I didn’t even know that company existed – what a great quote!

I love nicknames. I think it is such a great way for a family to have a close bond. I also think it’s nice that each family member have a special nickname for a new baby. I can’t wait to see what nicknames we come up with!
I love it! I’ve been calling my little one Little Miss Priss. We had an ultrasound and she had her legs crossed with one hand on her knee, it was too cute!
I call my daughter, Valerie, Sweet Pea or Miss V. My family calls her Re-Re. I’ve called my son, Almanzo, Little Pumpkin since he was in the womb, but now I call him Monkey (because he’s SO full of energy), Little Man, and Manzo. My family calls him Zo too. Maybe someday his future wife will call him Manly just like Laura Ingalls Wilder called her Almanzo. 😉
My daughter has a millions nicknames too… Clarabara, CB, Princess, Clara j… claraboo, booboo and anything else I randomly call her throughout the day
I call my little one Boogs or boogiehead (because she is always stopped up thanks to her acid reflux). Sometimes I also call her The Baybee. I know real original!
I also follow your blog!
I have many nicknames for the kids: Logan’s is Ribs, “the Lawyer” and Callie has too many to list…hahha

I haven’t come up with a good nickname just yet for our baby girl (due next week). Except, we decided not to share her name with everyone yet, so my sister decided it would be a good idea to name her Gertrude. Now everyone, even people who don’t know my sister, calls her Gerty. It’s pretty funny and is now actually cute. We don’t intend on naming her Gertrude, but Gerty seems to be sticking!
Little face and Suga mama. There on year old twin girls and Autumn has always been slightly bigger than Aspen…just buy a few ounces at first but now she is two pounds bigger. Biggest difference is in there face. Autumn has chubby cheeks and Aspen has a more slender face, hence there nicknames. Your daughter is beautiful.
Our little girl has been called Princess, Lucy, Poochkin, Chicken, Pearl and my little fella is Sunny Bunny
We call my new son Monkey, as we have since he was in the womb. Thus, his room and most of his clothes carry a monkey theme.
Also, love the Gigi books. My daughter loves them!
I call my daughter sweetie and funny bunny. My husband has been calling her baby for a long time but that needs to change because she’s going to have a little brother soon and he’ll be the baby of the house!
I love vinyl wall art, too. It’s a great way to get an elaborate piece of art or word art on your wall for not too expensive. 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway! I love how meaningful yours is!
Blog follower and subscriber!
We are big on nicknames at our house! Our dogs have at least a dozen nicknames each. I’m sure our future kiddos will be the same!
I must say, I always disliked when I heard parents calling their daughters princesses, and the whole princess “industry” disney promotes and what it says about womanhood, BUT, your description and the daughter of a heavenly king bit, really makes it into something beautiful!!!
I love your blog more and more each day. And I love all the pics of lil j aka princess aka spawnie aka …….

I have many names for my little one. Cooper is his name: Coopie, Coops, stinky butt… whatever I feel like that day. 🙂
lol All that is an adorable nickname for her little girl! =)
My little boy has a ton of names, especially from grandma! Santiago Eliseo has:
Sonny, Baby Eli, Chunky Monkey, Poopoo head (lol my hubby gave that to him), Santi, Chubbers, Tubbers, Salvatori (a friend gave it, we don’t know why), little man, Cutie, Hermoso, and Baby
To me that is alot but we def use Sonny!
We call my daughter the Little Miss or Missy. Sometimes she is called Peanut because she is so tiny!

My son`s name is Henry. His nick name is Hanky Pie or Cranky Hanky when appropriate.
I always call me daughter my little peanut. I probably call her peanut more than I call her by her actual name lol!

The vinyl on the wood panel is a GREAT idea…that way it can be passed down to her daughter. You have started your very own tradition.

All of our children have had special nicknames that only we call them. I’ve found they either change as they get older or they grow into a new one.

Love what you made! Very beautiful! My daughter’s name is Brooklyn and we call her Tia. No reason at all….we like nicknames around here. 🙂 Have a great day!

I love that saying! Our little boy doesn’t have a nickname yet, but I’m sure he’ll be getting plenty once he is born!
Im a follower 🙂
We called our little one ‘Sol’ in the womb cuz she was our Source of Light. When didn’t name her till she was born but her first name became Ayah Sol. We still call her Sol from time to time, as well as Bizy- cuz she is a busy body
We just keep it simple with Princess

The nickname we chose for our son ever since he was a little guy in my tummy was “Bean”. WE still use it to this day. He is our little “Noah Bean” now.
When I saw the first sonogram of my baby, he looked just like a blueberry. Because we didn’t find out the gender, we just called him “The Blueberry,” and the name stuck, even when he was the size of a watermelon. He was born almost a week after your baby, so it’s neat to think we went through our pregnancy together (he’s my first as well!). Now that he’s in our lives, he’s been called His Royal Highness (and yes, we give him the royal treatment!), Barracuda (for his fierce booby attacks), and Wiggles. Your daughter is beautiful, by the way!
My daughter has TONS of nicknames! 🙂 Her name is Kaidence, but we mostly call her KK! 🙂
i’m a blog follower, too!
I love all the vinyl you have done in her room. And I love the idea of putting it on a board since we are renting, too. I had to throw away all of our vinyl at our last place. Great idea! Your daughter really is a princess…she is gorgeous!
I follow your blog. Oh and I am all about nicknames! It’s so fun!
We use several at our house-they kind of grow out of one and into another.
Whitney-Zaboo(she loved zaboomafoo) Whitz or Bug
Amber-Bamboo, squishy, Red
Brooke-Precious, Brooker Boo, Blue
Trevor-Trevs,Bubs and Chubs

I subscribe. 🙂
my dad has always had a handful of nicknames for me and still calls me by them 🙂
she looks like a little princess in that white dress, so adorable!
I call my son Goose or Baby Boy.
I called me DD pretty princess in the beginning. Then Goobie Girl (She had a clogged tear duct). Now she doesn’t really have a nickname we use anymore. Just a shortened version of her name.
I follow =)
That sign is absolutely adorable!!!! I have not decided on a nickname just yet for this little one!
It’s a good reminder that we women are all daughters of our heavenly king! 🙂 I like that you put the vinyl on a board so you can take it with you if you move. I just bought a really cool shelf from csn stores, so I recommend shopping there!
I love that sign. It’s so beautiful. Love the idea of mounting it on wood. I have a vinyl design on my wall and want to take it with me when I move, I will be keeping your idea in mind. As for nicknames for babies, I used to call my friend’s baby Goober. She seemed to like it and when she asked about me she’d call me Goober back. LOL! I just started following you today on your blog, Twitter, and Facebook, I simply love your blog and want to go back to the beginning to read about your whole journey. I think that will be a weekend read. 🙂
When my son was born I called him Buddy for a long time, then Bubby and now I call him Bubs or Bibs or sometimes Pups.
I also called him Fat Boy for a while too when he was about 3-6 months and at his chunkiest.
BEAUTIFUL picture 🙂
We called our son tooter pop for the first year of his life (or shortened to tooters)
I am a blog follower
We also use many nicknames for my son, Jack.
– stinky, stinkmaster, stinks, baby, terror…
We called our little girl, sweet lamb when she was a baby and MissyLouLou which we still call her. It has nothing to do with her name I just started calling her it and its stuck.
I go by Crissa, Crissa, Crissay Kayesir, Crissy Poo, or CK. I wish I had a little one to give a nickname to though.
Thanks for the giveaway!
i call my son logan, logi bear!
Each of our daughters have nicknames! It is just a fun and nice way to say “we are family”
More like nickname(s)! Peanut, bugaboo, love bug, Baby Kiley, princess, pumpkin … the list goes on and on! lol.
I am currently expecting our first and I call him either Trout (because that’s what he feels like in there) or Little Buddy.

Beautiful! I think it’s wonderful that your daughter will grow up knowing of her divine nature.
We call our daughter Cate, “Bitlet.”. It started out as “Lil Bit” and one day I said Bitlet and it stuck. There are variations depending on her mood and activities–Stinky Bits, Snoozy Bits, Cranky Bits, AdoraBits, etc. Funny thing is, other people around us call her Bitlet, too.

Aww, I agree your nicknames are cute. I guess Bug is a pretty common nickname.
You have a beautiful baby and a lovely nursery.
Love it 🙂

That’s a lovely sign you had made. What a wonderful idea! I’m known as Sunshine to everyone, including my siblings and anything involving my work so I don’t think it qualifies as a nickname anymore.
Everyone has a nickname in our house! I grew up with a father who also gave everyone a nickname, so I can’t imagine not doing it. I think it’s endearing…

The Pink sign is beautiful and good reminder for our daughter self esteem
My sister Melanie was “smelly melly” as a baby lol.
I call my girl baby, or cutie, or princess, or my little kicker.
Pretty Pretty Princess is a nice nickname, my daughter ended up being called “George” don’t ask where that came from but she grew up into a fine young lady so I guess it didn’t damage her!
We have Cookie Monster, Kelbug, and Tater Tot.

I never gave my God-daughter a nick/pet name. Her name, Kailie, has always been cute enough.
Her brother, my God-nephew, is often called the typical “big boy” by me and my sister (his God-mother) and “Mally-Mal” by my sister and his mom – to play off of his name, Malcolm.
your post seriously brings tears to my eyes. what a wonderful thing to teach your daughter early on and may she know the truth of it.

Out of 5 kids only 2 have nicknames.
We cal my 5 year old “Tea Cup”. She is veery tiny and slim. I calld her that when she was a baby one day and now everyone calls her it.
My son Urijah, my hubby calls “Debo”. He is huge! At 10 months old he weights 29 pounds so he is built like a tank or a Debo.

We had to use a nickname because the name we chose didn’t fit him. We named him Andrew, but it wouldn’t come out of my mouth. So he was Buddy. Not anything with special meaning, but that is what we called him. 5-months later, we changed his name to Thomas. He is such a little Thomas.

I have had nicknames over the years, but none have every really stuck…it is just usually someone calling my by a shortened name and then everyone else starts doing it. i’m actually glad i don’t have a nickname – i really like my given name!

My daughter’s name is Kairi. We usually call her Kai Kai or Kai. On rare occasions we call her Lily (her middle name is Lilyana). She really loves the nickname Kai Kai. In fact, she almost always refers to herself in third person. It’s so darn cute.

I always just refer to both of them as “my little guys”. They will probably eventually take offense to it. 🙂

How precious and perfect (and wise on your part to attach it to something you can bring along with you as you move through life – and maybe someday it may even appear over your GRAND-DAUGHTER’s bedroom.
When I was a baby my Mom use to tell people that I was a perfect example of a “busy BODY”. Back in high school – my then childhood sweetheart (and now Hubby!) were nickname “Huggy Bear” and “Kissy Face” – ahem, for obvious reasons…

Well, my only nickname, at least to my face, LOL, is just Debbie. I’m OK with that.
I call my son puppy. I used to call him creature when he was a newborn and my mom hated it. It amused me. I call my daughter petunia. I love my husband’s name for her. He calls her baby princess fuzzy bottom. 🙂

We have so many nicknames it’s not even funny- I LOVE Your choice (and the room).
My fave current nickname is gigi- that’s what Ian calls me since I am so not a granny or gramma or nana 😉
She is a sweetie. I always gave my children nicknames–my girl was Pookie and my son was Pumpkin Head. (Big round head with red hair) I stopped using them early as they were not entirely flattering.
I would love to get a new area rug
When we found out I was pregnant my husband starting calling the baby, little runt or just runt…It may not be the most favorable sounding nickname, but we mean it with love of course. I am due this winter.

We called our daughter Bailey Bug, or lady bug, but now it’s shortened to ‘bug’. Yes, she’s 13 years old and we still call her ‘bug’ or ‘Bailey bug”! And yes, she’s still as cute as a bug!

We definitely used nicknames and pet names for our daughter, Elizabeth, such as Lizzy, Lizabell, and Princess. I don’t think we ever consciously decided to call her by those nicknames – I think it’s just natural to use them when the kids are young and precious!

Not so much a nickname as numbers. All 5 of our kids start with the letter B so to keep from stuttering whilst trying to yell at one of them we call them by their number in line (1-5). That way they know if Mom and Dad have resorted to number calling they are in real bad trouble! 🙂

Wow. I know this post was a long time ago, but I am so happy I read it! I recently purchased two vinyl quotes. My husband is in the military and we move often so I wasnt sure how I was going to do the vinyl art on the walls so that I could later take it with us. So thanks for the idea of the painted wood! Great idea! lol
I called my son Piglet when I was pregnant now I call him Little Foot because just like the movie he is going to be tall.
My daughter is Pumpkin or Mamas or Chunky Monkey.
I really like what you guys are up too. This sort of clever work and exposure! Keep up the good works guys I’ve added you guys to blogroll.
I tend to give individuals monikers so everybody I know has their very own epithet that I utilize and once in a while others get on it and utilize it too!
Less a moniker but rather more numbers. Every one of the 5 of our children begin with the letter B so to keep from faltering while attempting to shout at one of them we call them by their number in line (1-5). That way they know whether Mother and Father have turned to number calling they are stuck in an unfortunate situation! ?
