Name-Calling (Poll)

beatlesgirl25 · February 2010

What does your FI/H call you when addressing you? Does he use your actual name, nickname, term of endearment, or just "hey you?"

alixzafiris · February 2010

He either calls me Alix or babe most of the time.

MeaghanandMichael · February 2010

He calls me 'bug' a lot. It is gagworthy but I love it.

kikibaby · February 2010

He either calls me Linz or (embarassingly) Linny Bears. I can't remember the last time he called me Lindsey.

betrothed123 · February 2010

It depends on his mood. Sometimes it's my full first name, sometimes it's my first name shortened, sometimes it's a pet name of some sort.

polichik · February 2010

It's funny, but he almost never uses my name. When he does, it always catches me by surprise. We usually say "Hey you" when addressing the other, although I call him "cutie cute cute." (Yeah, I know)

When we're in a group, he'll call me Sarah, but otherwise he doesn't really. He's not opposed to saying my name, but since we're usually alone together, I know he's talking to me. He'd sure as hell never address the guinea pigs directly :P

I wish he'd call me by a pet name, but that's just not his style!

RachNRich · February 2010

He calls me Skirts, and I call him Pants (long story as to how we got there)....we hardly ever refer to each other by our first names. And when we do, it sounds weird.

Stackeye210 · February 2010

Secretary Finemiller - LOL. It's so annoying.

shellydiane820 · February 2010

He calls me Kiddo.

Nebb · February 2010

Potatoe (not sure why), Samantha when im being a bitch/annoying, Samantha Mean (play on last name) if im being a bitch to someone else, Sammi if hes in a good mood, Sam normally, Babe and Hon once in a while too.

NuggetBrain · February 2010

He calls me Nugget, or Nuge, which is a private nickname for us. And I guess for you guys too. When he's mad or trying to get my attention he'll call me by my nickname that everybody calls me. When he's REAL mad then I get called by my full first name. Which I hate.

Sometimes he calls me baby or hon.

I call him Noodle or Monkey.

beatlesgirl25 · February 2010

Haha, poli and rach, it definitely feels weird when H uses mine too. We never use our real names for each other. It's always something like Sweet Pea for me or something involving 4-letter words (we shittalk a lot). Sometimes we'll use each others names just to creep the other person out. But I use his name to talk to everyone else. It's nice to know that others have the same weirdness about it.

Stack, your nickname is awesome. Nebb, your H is pretty creative too!

lannerjarv · February 2010

"love", "hun", "babe", "nanners"

not much real name action.

BecW2be · February 2010

Bec around most people, Rebecca around his parents, and he uses "Well, hello there Mrs. W-----." when he greets me over the phone. That's my favorite.

Kati0105 · February 2010

I honestly can't remember the last time FI called me by my actual name. His nickname for me is Hootie the Owl because when I zone out my eyes bulge out like an owl. So he always calls me some variation of that (Hootie, H.T., Owl, etc).

ETA: This is true even in public. His best man also now calls me Hootie.

pooh8402 · February 2010

usually either my name or "hey." sometimes "honey." I'm more the type to use terms of endearment than he is.

danieliza1127 · February 2010

Usually just my name. If he calls me "sweetheart", he's usually saying it in a condescending tone and I give him hell for that, so much so that now it's a joke. We don't really have nicknames for each other.

sarah0725 · February 2010

We both use a whole collection of nicknames. He calls me sweetie, cutie, pretty or some variation on that, princess, baby, and a bunch of other stuff. I use those, and also darling or dearest (because I like to be old-fashioned), and Charlie Buttons. I don't know why I call him Charlie Buttons. I just do.

TeresaLovesDave · February 2010

To other people he refers to me as T, but he'll normally call me Babe, Love, or Darlin. Or, if I'm annoyed with him, he'll string multiple pet names together which both irritates the mess out of me and makes me laugh.

I call him Redhead, Kid, or Doll.

JessAndTrav · February 2010

It's a variety. Sometimes it's just "wife/husband/spouse" and sometimes well call each other by our middle names.

He tends to call me Yessica and I tend to call him Thazzle Dazzle.

SarahPLiz · February 2010

FI loves to make up nicknames for me. I think he uses a different one everyday. Since I'm the only one home, I assume he is talking to me. Some of is favorites lately: Schmoopy, Baby Kitten Poo (EW!), Baby Caterpillar. I admit, he is a special man.

I call him "sweetheart", Maybe I need to be more creative.

My ex used to call me Sweety Pie, and then shortened it to Miss Pie. He was Mr. Pie, and his little girl was Cutie Pie or Baby Pie. It was all very sickening sweet, but I still call his little girl BabyPie sometimes. I don't think she remembers where that name came from.

sarabellam · February 2010

So I guess it's bad that I often call my husband, "Hey, Asshole!"

pumpkinpumpkin · February 2010

Mark calls me by many names:

Jerry
Beans
Boo
Farbs/Farb'n'getti (WTF?)

I call him "M" or sometimes "vac" - a play on his last name.

akmackay · February 2010

Usually babe, hon or honey... I never realized how much so we use these until my friends got on my back about it. They're all used to it now- but it really comes out when we are angry "BABE! why did you DO that??"

sucrets4 · February 2010

Always babe. Names in public, though.

mrsamyjones · February 2010

usually babe, dear, darling, sweetie. Sometimes Mooshy, but thats just because of an inside joke. It has gotten to the point where hearing my real name from him is strange.

dieselsmomma · February 2010

it started out as "Love," but now I am officially called "Loaf." Why? I have no idea, but it's stuck

kd.joseph · February 2010

He usually call me "Darlin"

Me: Honey bunches of O's
Him:Yes my little Cashew

And our personal nicknames for one another he's Sven, I'm Gretchen.
His daughter just realized that Sven is embroidered on his robe.

laurenclaire1386 · February 2010

FI calls me baby most of the time. I like it a lot, for some reason. We have lots of silly names for eachother too, most of which involve curse words. We have even more nicknames for the dogs.

Don't worry sara. I call H a shitbitch, but he calls me that too. It's always with a smile though.

hayleymajayley · February 2010

We call each other Lover most of the time.

He used to call me peanut and I LOVED it for some reason, but he doesn't anymore

I told him and he still doesn't do it!
