Do you have special names you call your friends and family?

I do. I call my brother things like "champ", simply because that's what he calls his dog. I tease my best friend by calling him the names his girlfriend calls him. I often have nicknames for friends, such as Frodo for a friend of mine who has an afro.

Hi hotsummer,Yes i do,I call my closest friends as gang.I also call my grand son as lannga,or another term of love.Thanks,Good day!

ya we do have nicknames or pet names so commonly used in our family that we have to try hard remembering their public names.like my brother is called kanhu(thats pet name for lord krishna).

hello,hotsummer.Many my friends have special name,of course,the special name is just special for some of friends.For one of my roomate is called zhuzhu,another is popi.

Yup, I always call my friends and family with nicknames and never their real names. The reason being: I find it quicker and easier to say a nickname and also whenever I say it, it makes me laugh. So at the same time, I will be having a little fun. Some of the nicknames that I call my friends are not really to their liking, and they often hate me whenever I call them that. Some of my friends' nicknames: Nicholas Zartelli.-- Telli Andrea Sladdan--- Sladz Michael Micstar-- Mikey So yes, I often always call my names by their nicknames and the often have a nickname for me to, I kind of enjoy it.

it actually depends on the people you're with. some persons don't like the idea of other people giving them names. if you like to do it then there should be a silent agreement between both you and the other to avoid any conflict. and i suggest that it's much better to apply that to our inner circle of friends or better yet to your best friend.

my name is KAKA auntie kaka to my neices and nephews jessie wessie to my mom and even though my middle name is lynne my stepfather calls me jessie lee.. my husband calls me babycakes. i call my husband honeydew.. our oldest daughter is gabrielle but we call her gabby. my other daughters name is penelope i dont like penny as a nickname but since birth we have called her pretty girl shes two and she things that her name is pretty girl..lol.. my kids call my mom mema instead of grandma and instead of grandpa its pipa my sister amanda we call pokey because we went camping one year and we went hiking and she was just soo slowe getting up the hill and keeping up with us

I really don't like the idea of having special names to call my friends or family. It is very difficult for me to call a stranger by his pet name. I will call people by short names only if they are very close to me. I haven't created a short name for any person till now. I don't care if others call me by pet names. Many of my friends are relatives call me in different names similar to my original name.

I call one of my closest friends from the office "chopsticks". she's a girl.she's younger than me.we have the same thinking and ideas on most things.we both love clothes and shoes.we are like sisters.

Hello hotsummer this is checkmail and me too often call some of mine family members and friends by an nickname.Its just represent the more friendly environment or its just an taunt to them, but in an friendly way.Yeah mostly its based on some cartoons and hero and heroin's names.Well it just predicts how close we are with them.Its really fun as well as to hear the nicknames as they are more cool and charming.Even i am most of the time called by mine nicknames, there are many nicknames for myself.So won't bother to call others by their nickname.Anyways Happy Mylotting.

Hello hotsummer. I think all of us has experienced that not only me and you since we all have close friends that we call pet names to. Like for example my sister, we call her "chichini" which is very far from her original name. Second is our pet dog, his name is Disney but we call him "chinini". We sometimes interchanged both those names but what the heck. It's our form of sweetness to each other. As for friends, i am fond of calling them a unique nickname that can still be associated with their real name. For example the name sarah, we often call her "sars" or her middle name which she isn't known for. It really is flattering to be called pet names by other people since it reflects on the bond you have shared to each other. Then i suddenly missed my friends.. aww....

Hi hotsummer! I find it good to call someone with not his/her real name. I used to do it with my friends. I had friends from my workplace and he is the only guy in the team. I am calling him "men". I called my close friends there "mang!+ their name". Before I left there, another girl joined the team. She was so cute and she is actually the youngest among us. I was an addict in farmtown that time so I called her "avatar" since she looks like one of the cutest avatar in farm town. She loves it. She is now caller avatar in the workplace, especially on the team. Yan

I used to have a nick name which was a shortened version of my eal name. all the people who knew me would call me by it. Not the professional people though. Quite frankly I hated that, but what could I say? They didn't give me much of a cchoice. now, I don't even hear my name used much anymore. George will either call me sweetheart, honey, love or something of that nature. Others just call me by my name, or their varioation of it.
