Do you and your SO have nicknames for each other??

[Jezah]

Well, obviously, my SO's is HBB. Thats mainly in txts, or notes though and not so much in person. In person its usually me adding a 'ness' to the end of a normal compliment word. AE. Sexiness, Gorgeousness, Handsomeness ECT. Its my odd thing :P, also apparently when I am half asleep and he tells me good news I call him 'babe', such as the one time he woke me up at 7 am with a phone call to tell me he passed briefing with a catagory 1 (best possible grade) and I went "Babe! Oh my god babe! Babe! BABBBBBBBBBBBBBE! Thats so amazing babe! Oh BABE!". Its funny because I am not a 'babe' kinda girl, I usually never say it! He still hassles me about that call

As far as he goes, he is VERY sparse with pet names. It almost bothered me in the beginning since all my exes used them regularly, and being british I expected some unique and adorable ones from him like "Ducky, luv, crumpet, bird ECT" but got nothing. He came up with his own single 'pet name' and it was fiesty, and that is the only one he uses regularly. However, the whole lack of pet names thing had one unexpected side effect, now whenever he VERY occasionally slips out with a "baby, sweetheart, my love ect" it makes me squee and gives me goosebumps from my hair down to my toes. It means so much more.

He's Ivor (his middle name, only I use it) and I'm Guberry (because "gu" is our I love you word, idk where 'berry' came from). :-p

We don't really use nicknames. I add an -ie to the end of his name but thats about as far as nicknames goes.

[Xanahtas]

We have a couple of names we go by. I call him Moose/Moosey (Because he is Canadian, and as soon as i think of Canada i think of mooseXD), Gayface, Lovely, Bubi. He calls me Penguin (because at work i work in a class called the Penguins, so it caught on, and they are my fave animal) Sweetheart, Love, Darling We never call each other babe because we both think its overused >.<

[CynicalQuixotic]

I think nicknames are for teeny-bopper relationships, not serious, mature, adult relationships. I call him Michael and he calls me Tia Lynn, such as he should.

Wow, you must be a hit at parties.

[Brieasaurus]

I think nicknames are for teeny-bopper relationships, not serious, mature, adult relationships.

My relationship is clearly not serious or mature because I call my SO terms of endearment eh? I think we're pretty great though, so I'll just ignore you and answer the thread.

I call him Destbunny/Destywesty/Destykins which are all variations of his name. I also call him Chunky (we both love Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream and he loves chunky peanut butter), babyboo/boobear, bubba, and loverboy. He calls me Brieboo, babe, Monkey, sweetie, peanut butter cup, love, etc.

[Manoek]

He calls me baby, babe, and boo boo bear. xD I have no idea how it got started but it makes me giggle everytime he does it. He loves saying it as well. But my personal favorite which he only uses when he's being really sentimental is angel.
Then I call him babe, sweetheart, and sometimes, very rarely, boo.

How do you pronounce those?

Good question.. let me see if I can explain that

Ok, this took me forever to google.. but I found a tool that will pronounce it for you

https://www.dutchidioms.nl/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21

You have to select a voice, I thought the best person that pronounced it was: Dutch (BE) Zoe.

Even though she has a accent from Belgium, she says it the best.

oh, and thank you Manoek... pronouncing those words is not as hard as it seems actually...

[Rugger]

We don't really use nicknames. His name is short as it is and mine is weird shortened. Most of the time I call him boy or boyface. He just calls me by my name or beautiful. We make up for our lack of silly nicknames by talking to each other in dinosaur.

[schwee44]

I'm pretty sure we have a lot more than this, since we're hardly ever serious, but here's a few

He calls me: Schwee, Ash, Squishy, Hun, Babycakes,
I call him: Leh-hiam, Leh-hi-on, hun, Squidgy and Fluffy/Fluffs

or Taco, for each of us.

We never really say babe or baby though.

[Jazi]

he always always always calls me Jazi.. to the point where it is SO WEIRD when he calls me by my actual name (my name is Jasmin). Sometimes he calls me "Jazi lala" and makes up songs where "Jazi lala" are basically the only lyrics.. he can sing them for ages too! he loves it lol, it's very cute but sometimes i have to tell him to shush cos he sings it for so long.

I call him Trist, Mr, Tristamister... variations of the three lol. His family actually NEVER call him Trist.. they are very formal in the name sense, they call him Tristan all the time and his sister always gets called Victoria.. i think she'd get mad if you shortened her name lol. His dad actually calls me Jazi though which is cute.. his other family members call me Jasmin.

and on the whole 'babe' thing.. I don't think i could ever take him seriously if he called me that lol. We do actually mockingly call each other babe though from time to time

[11MikesGirl21]

We don't really have fixed nicknames for the other but he'll call me Killer when I do something klutzy. He'll also call me Weirdo all the time.

I'll call him by his last name a lot. I'll call him Doof too. He has a very good (fake) Scotish accent so I used to call him Highland Man all the time, but he didn't like it so I stopped calling him that.

We do the typical honey, sweetie, baby, babe, honey, hun thing too.

[Lady Death]

Well...he calls me:
Caramel (Bunny) Queen
bunnyhun
brown cookie
hun
kitty Kat

I call him:
bunnypants
hunnybuns
sillyhead
Mikey wikey or Mikey wikes

Well, caramel/brown comes from the fact that I have tan skin. Cookies are his favorite snack and he's always mentioned them a lot even when I first talked to him. The Bunny part comes from my unexplained fascination with bunnies/rabbits . Everything else is just babyish pet names XD

Okay, you can all laugh at me now. *hides in shame of own girlyness*

[silvermune]

other than the typical babe, baby sweetie ect I have called her Angel from the start, mostly though she likes to call me sugarcube and I call her otterpop. hahah.

[leonsfangirl]

Some of these Nicknames are soo cute!

My mature,serious,adult relationship with my SO includes some great Nicknames!!

He calls me, babe,baby,princess,sexy, my queen, Mrs (insert his last name here). Sweetheart too but mostly when he's being sarcastic.. like last night "Oh sweetheart, i only let you think you're the boss of me" after he admitted that he limited his Rockstar energy drinks to once a week because i don't like him drinking them.
BUT my personal favourite that turns up out the blue SUGAR PANTS! i laughed so hard and asked him where it came from... he has no idea lol.

I call him Handsome, darling,babe, Mr (insert his last name here), sexy, sweetheart.
His nickname was given to him by my ex husband and it's stuck and me,my SO and my family use it. THE CANADIAN! has to be said with a dramatic pause so he sounds like a superhero. I'll explain, when i first filed for divorce my Ex husband blamed my SO for the split but instead of using his name (which he knows) he called him The Canadian and my SO and I laughed so hard.
