What do you call that kid?

Nicknames are funny things.

Besides accidentally calling the kid ‘Bailey' a few times (we've even told him what a 'good dog' he is... Oops), Benjamin has picked up a whole host of alternate names.

Some of them are quite rational:
Sweetie
Kiddo
Baby

Some of them come from my family, particularly my Uncle Bill:

Wiggle worm
Pudge
Fussbudget
Chub
Kimosabe (which I think is from my mom)
Bambino

And then some are just downright random:
Little Package (say what? I have no idea where I got this. Maybe because he's just a cute little bundle?)
Goober - poor guy, this is a lot like booger.
Toots
Little Sparrow - probably fro his nursing 'beak'

What names do you have for your child or pet?
