Suckling Suzy?

Okay everyone! Find your senses of humor and put on your thinking caps. It’s time to rename Bebe Gloton, the unfortunately named breastfeeding doll! “Bebe Gloton” is a term of endearment for a baby in Spain. (Read more from yesterday’s post: No Special Breastfeeding Doll Necessary).
I sometimes admire my baby’s chubby arms, legs and belly so I suppose it’s not such an awful thing to affectionately call a baby gluttonous. Still, I would think there is a better name out there for a breastfeeding doll. Do you have any suggestions, tongue-in-cheek or otherwise? I have gotten you started with the first name that came to my mind: Suckling Suzy. Yes, yes, it’s an awful name that sounds a bit like the title of an adult film or the name a baby pig. I know you can do better!
Baby Latchalot
Yes — especially since latch is the key to success!
How about “Lola Leche?”
I love how this one even picks up on the Spanish! Good suggestion!
Nursing Nadia
Ooh that’s good — the alliteration, and the fact that the baby doll is nursing AND the child is pretending to be nursing Nadia.
