And I'd have nieces and nephews names Apple-butt, Rice cake, and Oops.

Don't ask.

Hee. I think that last one is self explanatory.

A friend of mine called her baby Conan whilst she was pregnant, but never for a second actually considered calling him Conan in real life. Thank God. Fetal nicknames are just that - nicknames!

My dad called my brother Slappy when he was in utero, and still calls him that behind his back. In all honesty, I think Slappy works more for him than his given name.

Exactly people.
Senor Onion earned his nick-name when I was pregnant but I am not full of the crazy-sauce to think, "yeah. That is a name."
I mean come on I also referred to him as butterbean. Imagine it. Naming a child Butterbean.

If I went by this logic, my child's name would be *takes a deep breath*:

Trodgora the Explorer Spawn Vagina Pirate

Imagine a driver's license with that sucker.

My mother swears that she knew two brothers whose last name was Bean and their first names were Lima and Pole. Actual names. I don't know if I believe her but she swears it is true.

My husband swears that he knew someone named Crystal Chanda Leer. That's just cruel ya'll.

Growing up in Texas, I remember jokes being made about Ima Hogg, daughter of a Texas governor in the 1800s. Legends that she had sisters named Ura and Sheeza were sadly untrue, though.

Everyone has names for the baby while inside (mine started out sweet - sumsum (sesame) and ended up being munir, muhammed (with cohen for a sirname) and wolfgang (I was sure he was going to be born while at a mozart concert)...) but most people settle for a real name rather than on the nickname othwersie we would have lots of peanuts, tinys etc walking around

Exactly. My sister would be named Junior. Although this is why we call my cousin Pepper.

I don't know about that, but one of Lears (of Lear Jets) IS named Shanda.

I have a friend whose son would be named "Bug." Before she knew she was pregnant, she said she must have picked up a bug, so that was nickname prenatally and for the first year of his life. Fortunately, his really name is James.

Well I did know someone in high school whose name was Crystal Claire Lake. We made it a point to call her by her full name as much as possible.

I went to high school with a girl named Memory Lane.

My cousin wanted to name her son Marshall, but decided against it since their last name is Fields. She didn't realize it was a store, but upon hearing so decided not to inflict that upon her child.

I live in Canada and I've been friends since high school with a guy named Tim Horton.

Thats the Canadian equivelent of naming your child Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts.
