I went with vagina which my daughter. The other day she asked to see my 'giant', it took me a while to figure out what she meant, but yes it seems we have a new nickname for the good old vagina.

We also used Tuppence when I was a kid and also Mary! Not sure what I will call it when my 14 month old starts requiring a name for hers!

This is a really common topic of convo - no reason at all not to ask about it here! Just yesterday I was laughing with my sis as she calls her son's his ding-a-ling!!

My Mum is a Child Protection Social Worker and her advice is to use the 'proper' names because it means that if there is any abuse, the child uses the unambiguous term and there can never be any misunderstanding. Here is an article about it. It's all about safeguarding children.

    • Well yes.  But only up to a point eu countries have had to spend a LOT of money to accommodate English madness  - and has had to deal with years of incoherent positioning.  It has destabilised the EU as a group - or has at the very least distracted it and consumed bandwidth  which is why Putin was so pro-Brexit. Which enabled other subsequent events - it’s hard to imagine the world as it is now without Brexit.  A stronger EU.  Uk not a mess and in its own after multiple elections and way more prime ministers than 9 years could possibly allow   a stronger united front
