I have several names for my SO and none of them can be repeated here ....LOL JUST kidding. We have a funny nickname for each other but in order to understand it, you would have had to seen a comedy / cartoon called Wondershozen in order to really "get it", so he calls me Number 2, and I call him Number 1.
I don't know that I have ever called my husband by any other name but his real name. I am not one for pet names. Now on occasion, when my dander is up, I will go through every name in the family before I actually get to his name. He calls it "calling roll". Can't help it. I am all flustered I guess.
I call my husband his name with a Y on the end. So does my son...even though I am MOM my son calls his Dad by his nickname...(he picked it up as a baby from me saying it).
My husband doesn't call me my name often. It's usually some endearment like darling or something.
That thread about being called the wrong name got me to thinking... I cannot remember the last time I called my husband by his real name. I guess I have at some point, but I cannot remember ever doing it. Seems like every long term relationship I have had, we get into this thing where we call each other by silly pet names. They are almost too silly and embarrassing to repeat (Stuff like Honey Bunny, Snuggle Bunny, or Honee' trying to be French sounding etc...) probably makes a sane person gag.
I've got so many nicknames for Mrs. Chow, not necessarily cutsie ones. She's actually shocked when I do call her by her name, as I only do it when I'm pissed at her.
Then she promptly tells me "Don't call me by my name" she says it sounds funny to her when I do.
My husband and I have variations of the same name, so its kind of weird to use them often. He's usually "honey" and I am usually "dear".
