Aw that's cute though! Mine are super cheesy. The one he uses the most is love bird, just because he thinks it sounds cute. :)

He calls me bunny. Not really sure why or where it come from. I just call him my hunny. Calling him by his name feels a little weird now.

BMcLeodTeam · February 2012

We both usually stick to 'hun' or 'babe'
Oh, or 'trouble' lol

wineo929 · February 2012

We're a pretty standard "babe" kind of couple. Sometimes he'll throw in "nut case"

mamameech · February 2012

I get "honey" but it's in more a sarcastic tone lol

We're really not the "pet names" type I guess. I think we call each other more insulting names (in a fun way) than we do sweet ones :P

celticmyss · February 2012

Baby usually, or "the love of his life" if he's feeling sappy.

morenachica110 · February 2012

Our's are incredibly stupid. lol We've got the standard "baby" and he'll call me "sweetpea" when's he being lovey dovey, but then here comes the poo. haha! Seriously, we'll call each other poopface, poopbut, cracklehead (a cutesy form of crack head), crackleface... etc etc. I think it started a loooooong time ago when I wanted to call him something foul, but I didn't want to be a total biitch so I went with "poopface". So then he used it later on to tease me about how I said that. Now, it's just become a thing.... =P

SCogs18 · February 2012

When FI and I first started dating (and were still long distance) I excitedly answered the phone when he called me "Boyfriend of mine!" and he responded with "Girlfriend of mine!" From then on we have been "boyfriend" and "girlfriend." We tried "fiance" but it sounds so uppity. Perhaps once we are married we will be "husband/hubbs" and "wife/wifey."

We also do the traditional, "honey" "sweetheart."

smartlypretty · February 2012

Haha love these. Ours are pretty dumb too. He calls me omelette or little omelette. I call him kitten or little Firstname or little baby (he's over 6 feet lol).

Katiesue04 · February 2012

Believe it our not we hate pet names, I absolutely hate it when a guy calls a girl babe. I don't know why lol! The really only pet name we have for eachother is buddy but that is usually only when we want the other person to do something for us, we also call our dog buddy when we get mad at him lol!

josephwedding · February 2012

FI calls me babycakes. I stick with honey or sweetie for him.

Sarah&Eric2012 · February 2012

FI and I usually call eachother babe or hunny. When I'm refering to him around his friends though I call him "My Eric" because his best friend is also named Eric so it removes the confusion. It's funny because I'm friends with his best friend's wife so when we're talking about our Erics it's always "my Eric" and "your Eric". It's less of a possessive thing and more of a clarifying who we're talking about thing.

cpasquale · February 2012

This isn't really a nickname thing, but I still think it's funny.

FI and I worked together when we first starting daying. So, before we were CERTAIN that it was going to last, we kept our relationship a secret from everyone at work. So, we changed eachothers names in our phones in case any of our coworkers happened to spot a text message over our shoulder or something.

He, to this day, is in my phone as: Jesse Maverick
Jesse is his middle name and Maverick is for the first movie we watched together (Top Gun)

I think he has since changed me in his phone, but I was GEG for Gray-eyed Girl. He still refers to me as GEG in notes and cards and stuff, but never out loud

kellycatalo · February 2012

we're really weird... but anyway

he calls me "cat" and "pepper" (google peppercats (make sure its plural), they are adorable, thats where the name came from), and also "catalo" (see my post in the screen name thread)

and the occasional "wife" or "wifey"

i'll explain what i call him, but it is sort of long:
we really want a dog, and i don't know why but somehow he picked out the name mr. buddy for our dog. over time, it got shortened to just "buddy". so then somehow, one day when we came up with the "-alo" ending, and it became "buddalo". so i call him that. and also "dogalo".

i guess you can see that i'm always the cat and he's the dog, and that's where all of our nicknames stem from, but they just happen to evolve over time. what's funny is that none of our friends know we call eachother these names, we never use them around them just because they're so weird.. haha

DirtyWater · February 2012

We hate pet names. I hate being called babe, baby or hun by anyone.

Ours are more of an alias. We work together and it was under wraps for a long time. When people would ask me what his name was Id say Fonzie. When people would ask him he'd say short cake. This was the standard around work, we aren't supposed to talk about our private lives. We always team up and tease one nosey girl so it just stuck after she had her bf stalk us at our cake tasting.

[Deleted User] · February 2012

FI calls me something different all the time. The names he comes up with crack me up sometimes but his more basic ones are baby girl, beauty queen, or pretty girl. I'm in his phone as wifey but he doesn't actually call me that. Our latest term for each other is face. Not sure where it came from...maybe from me telling him that I love his face but he'll answer the phone and say "hi face!" It's strange but I love it.

lbarr088 · February 2012

Hmmm, he either calls me "Boo" or "Hun." I call him pretty much the same. Oh! He does sometimes call me "google" when I am off self diagnosing my health issues or looking WAY to in depth for an answer to something

</div><div>Oh my gosh, I didn't want to mention this, but since you have, I will. He sometimes calls me poopy butt! I don't know why, he just does it to get my goat I think. It's so silly!

SheaCC · February 2012

We don't really have any pet names--so lame! Haha, I just can't call anyone honey, or babe, or any of those traditional ones, I feel silly for some reason. Sometimes I call him stinky. I'll also call him buddy, like, "hey buddy!" when we meet up and then he usually responds with, "What's up, cuz?" haha I have many more nicknames for my cats than my FI.

volleygurl0306 · February 2012

For the most part it is "baby." Think we say that more often than our real names. Which sounds silly, but when I do want him to know I'm serious or really mean something, using his real name then sound more intentionally ("I love you baby" is more the day-to-day where as when I say "I love you, FIRST NAME" I mean business!). He is really passionate about his career field (strength and conditioning) and until this semester when I started back to school (doing my pre-reqs for OT school) I was clueless about the body and how it worked. So he'd start explaining things about muscles and exercises and my eyes glossed over. So I started calling him "science boy" whenever he'd go into something I didn't understand (feel like he should have a cape).

Also, one thing I love is that he doesn't use my old nickname. My legal name is Kathryn and from birth through college everyone called me Katie. I was never a big fan of Katie so after college I decided to start introducing myself as Kathryn. FI and I met 2 months after I started this so he calls me Kathryn. At work they do too but all my family and long term friends call me Katie. So it is actually special that he is one of my closest relationship that calls me by my real name haha.

jessa1228 · February 2012

Our main name for each other is bubbles, or some form of it (bubs, bubalub, bubbies, bubbas, etc). I don't even remember where that came from. Also, when we're play fighting or having a minor argument, we'll call each other stupid things like crapmouth, crapface, poophead, poopmouth, etc. We rarely refer to ourselves by our actual names to each other.

Smooch711 · February 2012

We call each other Smooch. Hence my screenname as well. Lately, he'll call me Mooch because when I say Smooch you can hardly hear the S. And we also have a thing with the word "face." A lot of the times you can hear either one of us saying, "I like your face." Or playfully fighting, it'll be "your face." We're weird.

beckyboo27 · February 2012

We call each other "honey." We tried calling each other "babe" or "baby" but it just sounded weird to us, so we stuck with honey.

gabriel0915 · February 2012

Loving hearing these names!

One day we were joking and I said I'm going to call you "bf' (like biff) and somehow it just stuck and he calls me "gf". It's weird and works but we joke about what were going to call each other after we get married but we know it'll stay the same. We used to be the 'baby" couple, and are every so often but it's almost always bf to the point where when I have to say his first name to him it's weird lol.

shaer2 · February 2012

My FI calls me princess. Not because I act like one, I am the farthest thing from it, but because he says that is how he always wants to make me feel, like a princess.

lauraps · February 2012

Hey calls me "beautiful " or "sweetheart" and I call him " handsome" or "sweetie" What girl would not love having her man call her beautiful every day

Soon2baW · February 2012

So funny reading all these! My FI's name is Dan and one day we were fighting and I said I like my other boyfriend Nad better. (His name backwards, obviously)

So it stuck and I started calling him Nad. Totally silly.

He just calls me by my name. Never anything cutesy.

MrsReynolds12 · February 2012

FI calls be bae, or baby usually. When we were first dating he gave me the nickname snicker-poo and it never stuck so in notes he'll bring it up. I have tons of names for him the top three are mooks, bubs or monkey. I usually have a name that sticks for a few months and then I'll notice I've changed it after some sort of ongoing joke.
