Pet names.. I really enjoyed of these pet names.. I have many pet names,
most of my friends call me as Eli(its a Tamil word, in English it is Rat, Mouse),
some call me as Meeow(sound of a Cat)...
some call me as Jerry..
As I am quite quick in my all activities, and even makes some small quarrel among my friends(along with them and watch those quarrel by enjoying it), they call me using these names..
And some call me as Kulla(tamil word, in english it is short fellow)..

Hi arun,
Can you really enjoy the pet name 'eli'(In malayalam also the same word is using). I don't think I will enjoy these kinds of pet names, but it seems you are enjoying. I really appreciate your broad minded attitude. On quarrel my brother used to call me some names, I don’t think I can call it as pet names but no longer, he is calling like that it was the case of our childhood. I had some beautiful pet names our neighborhood people and some elder ones used to call.

[b]with more love they are calling me like that.. then why should I get worried about that?? If they call me like that, will I become eli or what? If you get tensed when they call you by nick name, then they take more advantage and to make to get anger, they call you again and again.. but, when you are too cool, then they won't use that name for teasing you, rather it will change to affection and love...
As I am lecturer, I have lot of experience on that..be cool, when someone call you with a nickname... [/b]

Yep, I have a few pet names but only few people call me those kinds of pet names. These would be the closest to me to know them. However, I used one pet name and combined it with a name that I like. I then made it into my username.^_^ So most of my myLot friends call me by that pet name which became a nickname in the long run.^_^
You do have a lot of pet names and its nice that you like each and everyone of them. It could be an inside joke between you and your friends as to the meaning and the history of each of those names.

Too true. However, there are those very rare occasions that a friend just liked a silly name then started to call you that out of the blue. Then other friends join in and it ultimately becomes a nickname. That's actually how one of my pet names became mine.LOL

Absolutely yes, without a history, how a nickname will arise??

Pet names, nick names, whatever you want to call them, I've a ton of them. Some of them date back to when I was a child like Doodle and Doorah and even Sissy. I don't know where any of those came from because I had those nicknames for as log as I can remember. Now the ones that I hear the most often are Ran and Woman. My niece calls me Ran because she can't actually say my proper name and the Woman came from my husband as a joke and I actually responded to him so it has stuck.

Hi there, my close friends usually call me by "tweet", "tweetums", "tweety" or "tweetybird"... well I am not a guy like tweetybird but it's my mom who first call me that pet name. She thinks that I am a little cute like tweetybird, but oops I don't have a big head like tweetybird and I am not color yellow like him. My boyfriend calls me "ube" (it is a violet colored root crops that like a potato, but it is sweeter and taster than any potatoes). He calls me that way because he thinks that I am sweet, and "ube" is his favorite food, and I am his favorite... violet is my favorite color too.. so the "ube" pet name really fits me.
