But there are those who call a small babys hat a "kappele".

Koppel: Heimish-Chassidish.
Everyone in my circles call it that but in school (BY type) I remember girls and teachers calling it a yalmuka.

I say both yarmulke and kippa. When I was growing up in a secular Ashkenazi home it was yarmulke. Now it is more kippa, but still sometimes yarmulke. I have never heard koppel before today.

A Yarmulka on Shabbes and a Kippa on Shabbat. I'm bilingual and bicultural.

do you ladies know what a shloof kappel is? |
I call it a yarmulka; my husband and his family call it a kappel. But my husband also calls his hat a "kappelitsh".
My son has a shluf kappel, but he only wears it till he finishes saying Shema. He doesn't like sleeping in a yarmulka.

We call it a "shluffy yarmulke." (and "shluffy tzitzis.") But it's a regular yarmulke, just saved for sleeping with.
Once we stop the baby talk we just say "sleeping" yarmulke or tzitzis.

My English (United Synagogue, for the Brits) parents say cupple. Yamulke was a word I had only ever read until I was about 20 years old. Now I use it all the time.
I have to stop my son saying 'yid-lid', which I think is a cute but somewhat inappropriate word.
