This is the first relationship my girl friend has been in that wasn’t very abusive. She enjoys the fact that we can call each other names without getting hurt or angry.
Chickadee (#1 with a bullet - I use this more than all the others and her real name combined); Little Fish; Honeywife; Pixie Feet/Toes/Hair; Twitchy/Nekkid/Meanie Butt; Lump (only when she’s in the bed); Lovey Bear – I’ll just say “Etc.” from here, rather than drag this on. We’re real big on the pet names at my house.
Butthead from me. Said in a loving voice just before I hang up on him. Its our joke, say that i’m going to hang up when he tells me that he has just eaten fresh from the sea seafood.
She calls me Annie, Spock, Stella, Little Aussie, Melissa, Liss and cupcake. I’m not much for nicknames, I just use the usual endearments - honey, sweetie, darling, love (and dear if I’m teasing her) and a shortened version of her name.
In French, people sometimes use “mon chou” (my cabbage) as a term of endearment. I’m not much into terms of endearment, but I do sometimes call my guy “mon chou-fleur” (my cauliflower), but it’s in affectionate jest.
I call my husband Potato and Handsinpants. Potato is from Sweet Potato, Handsinpants is me just saying what I see.
He doesn’t really have any for me besides baby, sweetie, etc. Although he’s been calling me Moneyslut lately. I’m finding it amusing how many nicknames sound pretty mean out of context.
I don’t like generic pet names. It makes me think a person has so many lovers that they use pet names to keep from calling one of them by the wrong name.
