What do you call.....

[Mermaid Dottie]

A Mermaid's baby?
Thalassa and I were discussing this in a pm, and I decided I really wanted to know what you all thought.
Y'all know I'm having a baby boy(any day now), and I was just really wondering what you call a baby mer.
A baby fish is called a fry,
a baby dolphin, whale, or manatee is called a calf,
but what do you call a baby half human/half marine creature?

Thoughts?

[New York Mermaid]

I call them Merbaby or a SeaWee .. I personally like SeaWee cause it's a wee little one from the sea..lol

[Blondie]

Early congrats on the boy! I'm sure you're just filled with excitement for him!!!

Hmm, I never really put thought into that. Something about calling a mermaid's baby a calf doesn't really roll off the tongue for me. A fry sounds kinda cute and simple :) A merchild? Merbabe? Nipper? (Hehehe) Bairn? Squirt?

Those are my two-cents xD

[Thalassa]

LOL squirt. XD

[Ayla of Duluth]

Kiddo ^_^

[Lille Havfrue]

Hahaha squirt is my favourite so far :lol:

[Merman Dan]

Buoys and Gulls? ;)

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

A nuck?

[Raivynn]

I thought SeaWee was superadorable!!

[Mermaid Miel]

I like Squirt or Nipper

Little Nippers is what they call the children who train to be Surf Life Savers in Australia

[New York Mermaid]

ive associated Nippers with fish, so yeah not my fondest memory there.. Ill stick with SeaWee :D

[Mermaid Lohgan]

I remember watching Mermaids: The Body Found and I remember they called baby Mers: 'Pups'.

[Jinx]

i gotta go with squirt. cute funny and if its a water birth its even more appropriate. lol.

[Aquatarian]

Guppy

[Mermaid Saphira]

So far my favorites are SeaWee and Squirt ;)

[Blondie]

SeaWee, Squirt, and Nipper are my favorites so far xD

[MermanJesse]

Guppy, minnow, or tadpole.

[Lyna]

Andrea and I call them "merlings".

[Mermaid Dottie]

Buoys and Gulls? ;)
XD you always get me Aeolius! no matter what thread I see you in you always make me giggle!

A nuck?
A what? where'd that come from?

I thought about tadpole, and minnow.

Calf makes me feel like a seacow, pup makes me feel like a seadog.
I think of merlings as being between toddler-sized and legal-aged.
I like Seawee, squirt, and Nippers.

Maybe, Nippers for all newborns/infants, then seawee for girls and squirts for boys?

[Mermaid Celissa]

I just call them Squirts x]

[MermaidIvy]

MerBaby or SeaWee? :)

[Sea Specter]

I like the 'Merlings', it just fits.
But for cute little nicknames I would probably call them Squirts, Seawees, or Nippers xD
Super cute

[Thalassa]

I like merlings, too, but I tend to think that's a teenage mer?

I dunno, the progression in my mind goes

Squirt (or merlet?)=Infant ---> Guppy=Toddler/Child ---> Merling = Teenager ---> Mermaid/merman

[Thalassa]

Pup? Calf? Hatchling? XP

[Mermaid Cascada]

Did you have your baby boy yet? If you did congrats!!!

[MermaidAiera]

I don't wanna kill the buzz here, but whenever people mention 'seawee' think of someone peeing in the ocean XD
Hahaha I feel like I'm totally undecided otherwise lol

[Merman_Shawn]

I don't wanna kill the buzz here, but whenever people mention 'seawee' think of someone peeing in the ocean XD
l

Agreed lol

[New York Mermaid]

lol then whats a seapee ..(lol sorry had to)

[Merman Dan]

Peanut? "Dolphin, Coryphaena hippurus, are also called Dolphinfish, Mahi Mahi and Dorado. They are not related to the porpoise which also is sometimes called Dolphin, those being a mammal rather than a fish. They are also called by names to indicate their size - peanut dolphin being the small, hand sized juveniles; bailers refer to fish in the two - 5 pound range where as the bigger fish are often called gaffers (due to the need for a gaff to get them in the boat)." link (http://www.topsailangler.com/wiki/Dolphin/)

[deepblue]

So many adorable names... I call my daughter a merbaby, but she's 3 so she'll soon be a mergirl, mermaid, or such.

But SeaWee? Adorable!

[Mermaid Dottie]

I call him squirt, mostly. so cute. <3

[Merman Dan]

"bait"? ;)

[Mermaid Dottie]

Is that what you call your kids?

[Merman Dan]

I have a plethora of charming epithets for my children. ;)

[Mermaid Dottie]

you rock.

[Mermaid Dottie]

I've GOT it!!!
A baby boy merling is a squirt, a baby girl merling is...
Wait for it....
A She-weed!

[Zelly]

Adorable. I would so call my girl a seawee or nipper. It just sounds cute. Merling is sweet too.

[Mermaid Summer]

Guppy! or Guppies

[Tasha Mermaid]

Merlings is what i have always called them myself :)
but i dont mind Guppies either

I think newborns could be called guppies then from toddler it would be Merlings :D

[SeaGlass Siren]

i call them guppys ;)

[Traveling Merman]

Agreed lol

I second the motion

[Mermaid Dottie]

Guppies was the name of a class I was in at the YMCA. Of course it was swim lessons. ^_^

[drucilla]

I call them merbabies or babymers
