Pet names for your significant other

my hubby is german and we have been married for 22 years and so i have learned a lot of german. we tend to call each other schatz (or schatzie) which means 'treasure'.

from plain mama and dada, to nymph and maniac.. hahaha..

I call my love Baby. he said he loves all the terms of endearments so I tried to use them all but my favorite are Baby and My Darling. I told him I don't like dear because it seems condescending at times and he agreed.

I call my husband bear cub. He calls me hun or sweetheart. I remember back in 2007 my husband and I had gone to Las Vegas to visit my parents, my brother, my sister and my niece and nephews and I had called my husband bear cub. Well, my niece and younger nephews are two and a half years old and they kept calling him Uncle Bear Cub. It was so cute.

Hey Dora, Every one of us like to be called by special people in our life, by other name by which others don't. But I think the most number of pet names rather I can say annoying pet names will will be enriches to the TEACHERS. And it will be given to them by their students. Here I give you some our teachers pet names, we had have given to them,,, SHAKAL, ADIVASI, SKELETON, VARSHA BANDI, CHIMNEY, PADUMAL, GO PADU GO, RABHO, KESHTO, BHAGO, POPAT, etc etc

My petname is 'lyfie', meaning his body, it is not esy to translate this, sorry. I call him 'my pippie'. That name means his head, because when he shaved his head about 14 years ago, he actually looked like a peachpip. We are afrikaans, so the meaning is not that easy to describe.

I call my wife, Margaret after the character in litle Britain who keeps calling up to his wife. By the way, hate the use of "significant other"

hi doran i call my husband as Huns which us short for hunny or Kanns which is short for hunny in our language for him ... he copies my mood sometimes but he set the mood too with other "groovy" names cheers

That is interesting. I have a friend who calls his wife 'girl'. I knew this becuase his desk is next to mine at work and I hear him talking over phone loud all the time. I call my husband as dear, baby, or honey as he calls me and there is no other special name. I like it my friends or family to call me by my original name. I don't prefer any shrot names, but if somebody calls me by a short name, I keep my mouth shut and leave it for their choice.

We have been married just over eight years now. I generally either refer to him by his name, or as honey, unless I am slightly perturbed at him. Then, he is usually "dear". (Not what you was expecting me to say, was it)? My husband refers to me as woman on occassion, and like you, I do not take offense to it. We had seen Ron White on Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Since then, he often calls me scooter. It doesn't bother me. It could be worse. He could refer to me as his "old lady". That would not go over very well. I think we develop pet names for all the people we love. Pet names are just a way to express the affection we have for those we care about.

I haven't called my husband by his real name in years - and I don't know why (and he doesn't either - hee hee). I call him Behbee and in "Baby", and I really don't know how that got started. If I need to email him, I'll say "hi BB" and I'll sign off as "bb" - hee hee. He calls me by what everyone else calls my name for short, which is something like "chalk". I'm used to it because so many people call me that! It's been so many years . . . not sure if we remember each other's real names - ha ha!

I don't really like using pen names, but I was called sunshine once or twice by my boyfriend. I have made myself to call him "honey". It is easier for me to use pen names with some of my friends but it is never easy to use them for the person I am dating

I usually call my wife as "Mommy", Aba". on the other hand, she call me "Baby", "Aba".

I normally go by Pam but family and close friends call me PJ. My man's name is Patrick. When we get married, we'll be Patty and PJ. I love how that kinda switches up our genders. I usually get stuck on one nickname for him, which is Patty, but sometimes PatMan comes up. Recently, I randomly called him Irish because, well, he's part Irish. He's more creative with what he calls me. It's either PamBear or Pbear. He's got a light southern accent that fits perfectly on my complete given name which is Pamela Jean. But I think I like Pbear better. Makes me sound like a real Care Bear :)

hi dorannmwin yes I used to call him lunkhead, and goonball, but these were meant in jest, and he was a person with a ripe sense of humor. To him he knew I meant those only in fun, and as I hated my first name Patsie, he would often call me Pattytricia as I had always wished my name was Patricia instead. I loved it when he called me that, also Babe was another name he called me and I loved it as it came from him. His Babe was unique and came from love,anyone else called me that I would have clobbered them but from him it was wonderful. We also had a code, sorry, we've another appointment, which meant lets get the heck out of here. This came in useful in many ways such as when we were at a family dinner and it turned into a family quarrel so we could legitimately leave. I guess that most family has some sort of code that they use.
