A Haitian baby is called pickaninny, not a Bahamian one.
Comment:
The gloss given in Holm and Shilling (1982: 154) is baby (old term, now used with Haitians), or Spanish baby (among white speakers), or girl baby (on various so-called "Out Islands“); the latter also occurs as ninny (and may then apparently also refer to a 'silly girl'). Pickaninny, in turn, also appears to be used for '[from its small size] a small gray bird with yellow wings'.
