Terms of endearment for grandchildren?

DD1 calls DGS pumpkin.

I cal my 5-y-o grandson "Pumpkin". Not sure where it came from.

When we're being a bit silly I call my grandson 'pot-egg' or 'noggin'. It makes him laugh. I also call him 'fruit' occasionally - a term of endearment used by my father in law.

I call my DGD chicken, chicken pie or pidge! She doesn't seem to mind even though she is nearly 14.

India is Indy pindy and Romilly is Rom pom! My three GS 's are called by their full names. Don't know why.

I call both GD's mo cridhe, Scottish Gaelic meaning my heart but they also have nicknames taken from their names.

Poppet, but DGS might object soon as he is nearly 6.
Chick (which is what DM called me when she had gone through the list of everyone else's names)
Their names with alliterative bits added on, or extra bits.
Pet is fine!

I can't tell you what DD1&2 call each other.

Posie: I had tried out 'sweetheart' on him but it felt too 'romantic' if you know what I mean. I like the idea of 'Poppet' though- I might try that

Kittylester: .

I don't think I'll be pinching that one off you! Well, obviously I couldn't, as his name isn't Bertie!

"Poppet" & "sweetheart" Don't know why, it just popped out.

I often used to greet one of my GDs that I minded regularly when she was tiny, with "Hello Sweetie Pie!". After a few weeks she obviously thought it was a correct form of address as she started to reply "Hello Pie".

DGD1 is called 'Beauty' because I think she is - I know it's not PC! And, totally unPC is DGS2's 'Bertie the b****r' and he is also called that because he is - though not in his hearing obviously!!

At present it's his name with "ikins" on the end. He is too young to complain just yet.

DD was always "Blossom" or "Blossom knickers" I have no idea why.

I used to call DD 'sweetie' quite a lot when she was young, but when I tried it on one of my GDs she was quite indignant "I'm not a sweetie toffee, Nana!"
