Donovan's nicknames

When we told people what we were naming our son Donovan, many of them asked us if we were going to call him something for short. We told people that for now he would just be Donovan and eventually if a good nickname evolved we would consider it but we knew for sure we didn't want to call him Don or Donnie. My labor nurse has a nephew named Donovan and they call him Dono, which we thought was kinda fun so we were open to that. Well since Donovan's birth we have come up with many a nickname. Here are some of the ones I can think of off the top of my head that we have been using.

-Donobin
-Binny (from Donobin)
-Dono
-Big D
-Little D
-The Disel
-Van
-Chewy (short for Chewbacca as he makes the Chewbacca noise when he cries sometimes)
-Boo Boo nugget (for funsies)
-DQ$ (pronounced D Q money- his daddy is TQ$, a nickname from who knows what)
-Crabby pants
-Little Man
-Petey (that one is just an accident)

I am sure I left some out but those are the ones I can think of right now. Donovan has been fussing/crying for over an hour straight right now so his daddy said he is about to get some new nicknames, but we won't type those here.

  1. Ellen,
    I am loving your blog. You are a very entertaining writer. If nursing doesn't work out...maybe an other career path???? Donovan is adorable, and you look wonderful, and happy, and like such a good mom. Enjoy all of time as a new Mommy!
