Some of us in relationships have silly pet names for our other halves. of course, you are well aware of what i am talking about. Sometimes, it may be a name of a kind of sweet that you like or it may be a silly modification of the other's name. Maybe something like won-won, which was what ron's girlfriend called him in harry potter. Like Ron, some people may be ashamed of letting other people know about this, especially our closest friends. i remember my cousin making fun of his friend when he saw the text of his friend's gf. maybe it was something like nikkicakes. he was kind of teasing him all over the place while i thought to myself of my cousin's pet name for his gf. (or was it his x?) haha.. how about you? are you one to talk or do you also have a silly name for your special someone? and if someone finds out about it, would you blush or just act cooly? keep me posted.

I think, to have a pet name that your lover gives you makes you very special in his or her heart. Even if the pet name is silly, it makes you special and that is all that should matter. However, if the pet name is a name that is derogatory, or some name that makes you feel as if you are less than the person you are, you must not accept that treatment. I personal was call "baby girl" by my husband and that I liked very much.

oh yes, i totally agree with you. i feel special having pet names with my boyfriend because its something that you dont do with common people. i guess it's why you also call it a term of endearment.

haha. i guess im a little bit guilty myself, but my closest friends all know what i call my boyfriend. i even remember that i sent a message to my thesis adviser that was supposed to be for my boyfriend. it was funny because during that time, he was consulting with her. it was a good thing our adviser was really cool and just laughed.

Haha. I do give him quite a lot of set names. Whenever i call him names if would ask of why that name and then if would laugh and tell me that i do think of a lot of things.
