A rose by any other name...

My birht name is Dian, family (mom, dad, and my brothers) call me Didin at home my 3 years old nephew call me tante didi. My bos called me 'sinta' (because he don't want to make his wife jealous because his girl friend name before is 'dian' too. One of my customer here call me shorty. LOL

I usually call him Hun or Old Goat and he usually calls me Hun or Pookie. As for kids, my Niece and Nephew call me Aunt Tina. Our foster kids all called me Tina or Mama T except 2, our gay foster son called me Mommy and our 5 year old foster kid started calling me Mama just before they took her. !!HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

We use each other's real names so infrequently that it actually is special when we do....lol.....at least to me. I call him honey, sweetie, sweetheart, etc. He calls me all the above.

I call my fiance most of the normal nicknames: honey, sweetie, etc. I will usually only call him by his real name if I need to get his attention in public. He has kind of bad hearing, and doesn't always hear me trying to get his attention, and I feel less weird about saying his name loudly than "sweetie." He calls me similar nicknames most of the time, and we each have one special nickname for each other, which are very silly, and private between us.

Well my dear hubby passed away almost 6 years ago. We had our pet names for each other. He was Mikey Bear, and I was Honey Bear. We had 2 grandkids at the time. Anthony was Boo Bear, and then there was Shelly bear. We did call each other by our names as well. I also would call him babe, and he would call me Hun. I really didn't like being called hun though. It made me think of my dad calling my mom that. Not that it was a bad thing. But you know.. my kids just call me mom, but when they talk, and don't know I hear them, they call me mommy. My grandkids call me nanny.

My husband and I call each other "Baby". If he uses my first name, I'm generally in trouble! (and vice versa). I do call my children by their names, or just 'son'. I call my girlfriend Princess :)

I call my husband SEXY!!! I think it's odd that someone would hate being called by their first name, especially by a spouse. Aren't spouses equal, and isn't that his name? Why does he hate it? Does he hate the name, or does he hate you using it?

My other half likes to use endearmeants. He calls me my love, i call him sweetheart. We use just about every pet name you think of. He also hates it when i call him by his name because apparently i only do it when im angry. I know this isnt true. Obviously sometime i use his name when my friends and i have a little gossip.
