Considering the slang nature of "sook," "AYYAT and "AYYOOT seem not so inappropriate.
Of course, you can try BAKKA' and SHAKKA', but these are hardly appropriate for teasing children.

Abu Dama'a for males and Um Dama'a for females .. and it means easy to cry.
Once again these are in the Palestinian dialect or slang format

I can not see any relation between “sook” and “whinger & cry-baby”
Since the key word is the Arabic “sook”, what about “sook” as an order of the English verb “to drive”?
“sook” is used in the Egyptian colloquial almost in the sense of “drive yourself away”, “take yourself away” or “get lost”.
