I was wondering like if your FI has a nickname or you maybe call him baby or another term do you change that when around his parents?

My FI's name is Olivier (O-Liv-E-A) and I normally call him Oli, Olipop, or baby, but when talking to his parents I call him what they call him and thats his first name, Olivier. When around them with him I will call him baby, but I never say Oli. I'm sure they don't mind me calling him Oli because I slipped a few times, but I feel weird and I feel like with them I have to say Olivier.
They are pretty cute and they have a nickname for one another and its "chou" which means Cabbage in French, but when they say it, its so adorable and they say it anywhere around anyone they dont care.

    I call my FI Chris, baby, boo, and Christopher when I'm being funny. In front of his parents I only call him Chris though. I know this is off subject, but his dad has called me daughter-in-law since the 1st day he met me lol.

    My Fiance's name is Jonathan, but I usally call him Mr. C, JC, babe, sweets, etc. Around his parents though I call him Jonathan. @missrekayeagle my FFIL did the same thing and when we got engaged immediately after he said I told you, you were going to be my daughter-in-law.

    I call BF "Babe". His name is Bobby Godfrey. We all usually call him Godfrey. I call him Bobby when I'm mad or if he's getting on my last set of nerves!!! I call him Babe or Godfrey in front of his dad or my mom.

    My FI's name is Fredrick.  I just call him Fred, no fancy nickname.  Sometimes when I am around his family i call him Fredrick, just because his dad's name is Fred and most people call his dad Fred and my FI Fredrick, so just to help distinguish between the two I call him Fredrick.  Some of his family members call him Bud, I haven't gotten around to calling him that yet.  Well, I do it sometimes to be funny.

    Babe - that's it.  But he's told me when I'm mad he can always tell because I do call him by his first name - Clint. Even if I deny it.

    Our nickname for each other is Juicy. He's Juicy Juice and I'm Juicy Fruit lol. It's such a habit that our parents sometimes hear it too.

    I call him "Babe" in front of everyone. When referring to him I call him by his first name, "Chirag", but when we are with friends, we all call him "V" (the first letter of his last name) because there's another "Chirag" in the group

    LOL @ coco_chanell :)
