??

in korea some (traditional) parents don't give official names to their baby right away, first they go see a shaman that will "foresee" the baby's future and propose a name to give it gool luck in life and then the parents choose a name for the baby
so in the meanwhile the parents give the baby a nickname

OHHHH that makes so much sense

lol. i frequently see stories calling the unborn baby silly cute nicknames like this tho. in a webnovel i've read. the couple were calling the baby "little bump" until the kid is born.
