We are the few, the proud, the ones who like to annoy family members by not finding out the sex of the baby before birth. This means we need an in-utero name. You simply can't go around for 9(10) months calling it "fetus." Especially not when you are cursing it a 2 am for kicking and not letting you sleep.
The first time around we had Poindexter. Born out of the fact that both my husband and I were geeks and therefore destined to sire a geek. This time we need something a 5 yr old can also use and we have come up with a few but nothing quite fits the way Poindexter did. Our names so far include: Baby "B" (Sebastian having been Baby "A"), Baron von Zygote or the Baron (thanks to Jege) and as I was laying in the hospital waiting for relief from my spinal headaches I decided "the Parasite" was appropriate.
Any suggestions?

How about a nice, geeky Star Trek name? Whorf? Data?
Wait!!! I've got it!! An Autocad name! How about Autolisp? Defpoints?
How about...... "DANISH THUNDER" ?
I am on a ROLL, baby!
How about something to aspire to -
to get out of geekdom even though undoubtedly you are doomed anyway... Sorry Eric... -
Angel
Princess
Buttercup
(we know you are hoping for a girl)
or maybe The Spare
Defpoints, however, does have a nice ring to it.
The SPARE!!!!! We have a winner!!!
Lisa, you are ON today, girl!
Oooh, I like the Spare too. Although I gotta admit, Danish Thunder had me for a while even though Thor seems so much more powerful and concise...
I also have to admit that Defpoints is still making me laugh.
So, what has stuck for a fetal name?
Around Sebastian and grandparents we stick to Baby B but after hours anything goes... Usually something more in the parasite range.
