Hi, I am Mighty_Girl, married to Mighty_Boy and mother of 4 month-old Mighty_Baby.
How do you call your Significant Other (or Insignificant Other as the case may be) on the SDMB? How do you call your kids?

Call mine the wife or the missus, and my 9 year-old, or occasionally the pain in the neck.
I find this Ohioguy-girl-babe stuff unbearably twee, I’m afraid.
I’m the “grim”, she’s the “pixie” - at least that’s where the name originated, but like roger, I tend to refer to her as she-who-must-be-obeyed, although if I had a more adaptable “handle”, I might be tempted…
Grim
He’s irishfella, but at various times over the years has been referred to as “this guy I’m seeing”, “my boyfriend”, “my fiancé” and now “my husband”.
Keeping the same name for him at least lets people know that this is one and the same guy!
Sometimes, such as relating a story where one would normally use their name, it’s good to have a handle.
Please, grim, resist the temptation. It’s when people have three or four kids and they start calling them Nebraskaliitle_’_un or Indigocutie_pie. And then there’s the whole pets thing: quondam_snuggles or thomas_aquinas_kittie.
And then they get real pissed off when you try to remember the names and you get the bloody underscore in the wrong place. And there you are thinking “fuck this! I got pretty damned close - did these guys really think I should have done a search to check the formatting of their mutt?” and there’s this whole pile-on going on because you didn’t realise that you let this attitude slip out, and people are calling you out in the Pit for not recognising their rights and not being sensitive to or affirming in an appropriate way their nomenclature choices.
The SO is The Bloke, and the offspring are the sprogs, the scroats, the rotters or the little shits, depending on my mood and what they have done that necessitates them being included in my posts here. It’s nearly always bad stuff.
Just me and **Mr. Stasaeon ** in this household.
There’s not too much too twee for me. I love having fun.
Wifey is wifey and she hates that term. Which means I call her it all the more…
mm
I’ve been forbidden from referring to my unborn child as “The Bump” by her Mum So to my friend I refer to her as “b2b” (baby to be) or kiddo to her Mum.
Sadly her Mum and I aren’t a couple any more, but since we’re still friendly and she is the mother to my child, I like to refer to her as “Lady Friend” (or LF in texts and emails) but I’ve been banned from using this term in front of her as well
My kind of bloke.
And, Anastaseon, you’re a bit of a twee-hugger, aren’t you?
Show me a Skip Magic, and I’ll give him a hug.
There used to be a Pricegal. Now there’s an ex-Pricegal. I don’t think I’ve referred to other family members in other terms than “my mother” and such.
I refer to the current squeeze as ACBG. It means A Certain Burly Gentleman. I referred to him a bunch in the Monday Morning Post as a certain burly gentleman when we first started seeing each other. Over time he has become ACBG.
He’s not a member here. He has threatened several times to ban me from posting because he thinks this place makes me weird. Little does he know, the weirdness started a looong time before I showed up here.
Preview is our friend. :smack:
A Certain Burly Gentleman.
Non-existant.
I guess I could start calling my son lil’ tremors.
My husband is Ivylad, the kidlets are Ivyboy and Ivygirl.
I’m simple. The wife is bus wife, and the daughter is the bus kid.
Not so clever.
I don’t have a name yet for my son. Maybe 2/3 1/3? Or little Salty?
Well, there is Mrs. Maxx, but I haven’t come up with handles for the kids yet. Thing 1 and Thing 2 have a certain Suessian quality to them. Ms. Maxximum and Ms. Minnimum could also work. Any dopers who have any more suggestions feel free to email me. If I like your suggestion I’ll start refering to my kids by your suggestion.
