What do you and your SO call each other?
We call each other "love" a lot, and also "babe, baby, honey, etc" He likes to throw in Future Fiance (!!!!) sometimes, and porkchop (thanks babe!)
Lol cute! We go by "babe" which some how involved into "baber" and then to "baber pie!" I know, it's dorky, but it sounds right :) We also go use "precious" and he calls me "princess." It actually sounds weird when we call each other by our "real" names. That's usually how we know the other is mad at us :(
We actually don't use nicknames at all. In my last long term relationship, we only ever called each other nicknames, and I think it put a bad taste in my mouth. We're just not overly mushy people.
Except for the cats. I call the cats about a million nicknames.
BF and I dont do the nickname thing, although sometimes I call him really ridiculous ones out of the blue to be funny and vice versa...when we first started dating we would try to out do each other with really wacko nicknames (like honeysucklecreampuffsprinklekinswithacherryontop) 
Baby, mostly. I also call him sweetheart, but he hates it cause I call like everyone sweetheart, so I try not to do it to him. Oh yea.. Mr. and Mrs. Brady. We're becoming the Brady Bunch with our children from those "starter" marriages. Oh yea, we're combining our last names after we get married (yep, he's changing his name too), so we sometimes call each other our combined last names.
We usually call each other by the nicknames our parents gave us. But I call him baby alot and he calls me babe sometimes.
It's a little embarassing how many we have for each other. He calls me monkey, milsy, hilsy, stinkle bear, hugsy, mimpus...I could go on and on, lol. My names for him are similar-monks, minkle, minks, minky, dimpus, love, bimple...oh man, I"m nauseating myself over here! :)
Babe/Babes is our very generic greeting to each other. I call my grandpa, Popsicle, and I recently started calling my SO Babesicle! lol
Specific to our relationship & more in the mushy-gushy pet name style...I call him "Bullfrog" (bc of certain noises he makes sometimes!!
). He calls me "Lily Pad" or "Stubby"...because I'm barely all of 5feet tall!
@waterprincess: BF and I have been using "Babers" lately lol thats so funny!
91011Bride - that's awesome! i wish i could get my SO to change his last name to mine but it would sound utterly absurd (his first name is contained in my last name!).
i despise pet names so we don't call each other anything. i'll "yes, dear" jokingly and he'll do the same.
Around here you'll often here "love" "lover" "my love" "baby" "babe" and occasionally you'll hear our real names, lol.
honeybun, honeybunny, buns, bunners, muffin, honey, lover, lovercake, poli, koali.......LOL. There are way more, and the majority of these come from him! haha I feel like he comes up with something new everyday.
And what's so weird is that we NEVER use each other's real names. And when we are forced to when in public or if there are people over, it is always the strangest thing to hear my real name come out of his mouth!
a million different variations of babe... and we have the same varations with our pets names. We rarely ever call each other our real names
@honeybun- we rarely use each other's real names either! Usually only when I'm talking about him to other people haha.
Our most frequent is hun/honey. Occasionally "babe." He has a habit of calling me darling... but generally only when he is being a little sarcastic like: Smooth move darlin'. :)
Other than Babe and Honey, he calls me beautiful and wifey. Hehehe! So cute!
We usually call each other “love” or “sweetie” (he started that one). We rarely call each other by name, it sounds so weird and formal to me when we do.
Whenever we make something with potatoes in it for dinner, we’ll call each other “precious” all night (from “taters, precious” that Gollum says in Lord of the Rings, nerdy = yes we are!).
The cat has a MILLION nicknames!!!
Ha - he calls me helmut because I'm clutzy and sometimes am in need of one. I call him pumpkin - which is hilarious as he's 6'3" burly, bearded muscle man.
We call each other "babe" or "baby" a lot. I use his name a lot more than he uses mine, lol. He also calls me "snoozers" cuz when we first started dating he hosted poker games, and I would be sleeping by the time he came upstairs. Which "snoozers" evolved into "the snooze", "das snooze" and "da bouy". Haha, so he has lots of nicknames for me, I have less for him. But he only calls me those when we're alone, otherwise it's "babe" or "baby". It's weird for him to say my name I think, lol.
I call him babies and he calls me baby, hotsauce, and "main and only" which he also shortens to MAO (which he also sometimes calls me).
@gabrielle- we have a million names for the dog too haha. His name is Stewie, but we call him Stew, stewart, corgs, corgi, bubble-butt, big butt mcgee, big booty ho, bootylicious.... etc. apparently we are obsessed with his butt. But seriously, corgi butts are HUGE hehe.
I dont really have a nickname for him, but his nickname for me is "Sugar" Its been his nickname for me since shortly after we met. Now I cant wait to be a Sugar Bee on here!
We have "baby; my love; he calles me snuggle bunny; I call him pookie bear; (snuggle bunny & pookie bear are our make fun of names) then we also use babycakes" alot!
This has been fun to read - we are big on nicknames and I always wondered if other couples are the same. We use honey and sweetheart sometimes, but we also have a couple of more unusual nicknames that we use most of the time that come from a big inside joke between us.
Goodness we have had so many over the years (9yrs) The usual like Babe and Baby, but some weird ones two like Boof, Floss, Princess, I also call him Flavs heaps as his last name is Flavel That can be weird though 'cause his Mum calls his dad that and his sister-in-law calls his bro that too.
We call each other Mama Bear and Papa Bear....we both snore.LOL We also call each other baby or sweetie, but Mama and Papa Bear are the main ones.
CorgiTales- I just laughed out loud for real when I read-big booty ho!LMAO
I call him by his last name sometimes too! Or his full name, since NO ONE does. His middle name is Lewis, but its spell Louise (Like the lady) so sometimes I will call him that!
I call him Handsome, Honeybear, Babe/Baby, Mr. His Last Name, His First Name because everyone calls him by his middle name and Romeo. He calls me Carebear (hence my handle), Chipmunk, Beautiful, Queen, Gorgeous, and of course the Babe/Baby!
I love giving people nicknames! I give EVERYONE nicknames, I don't know what it is, and consequently a lot of them stick. My friends die when they hear what I call fiance. . .some faves of theirs include Plum, Man-baby (he hates this one), Monkey-Puppet and Hunkmaster Deluxe.
I think my fave nickname is what my friend calls his wife. . .Willy! Short for Willard!! It's not even close to her real name.
I am a nickname junky. All of my friends and family members have nicknames from me! For Manfriend, I call him Lil Foot. Occasionally, VaJayJay (his name is Jason but he goes by Jay) - I know, it's silly. But it just came out one night and it was funny and it sticks whenever I'm being silly (which is often). He calls me Aim, but mostly Amos (my name is Amy - obvi)
babe is really all we call each other - it's funny though to actually call each other by our REAL names...like when we're out in public and I have to say something to him across the room, it's weird saying "babe" but even weirder calling him by his first name! lol
Usually we call each other baby but we also sometimes will say honey, sweetie, babe, and love.
Lately my FI's favorite phrase is "this fiancee, I love her" - I know it sounds stupid but it is so cute how he says it!
His name is Jay, that turned into "Jay-Bear" - but it could be any sort of emotion...
-Sleepybear
-Crabbybear, etc. LOL.
It depends if I want something haha. If I'm after something he's called sweetheart, dearheart, sweetie, darlin. Otherwise I call him by his name or call him a geek :D
For me he shortens my name, or calls me sweetheart, darlin, baby, sweetpea.
Not thoroughly exciting really!
We call each other baby, sweetheart, love. He calls me Debbie Doo. I call him Brandon Bear. The weirdest one is Debbie Clam or Brandon Clam---sort of evolved into a nickname after he was sick and I told him he was "such an unhappy clam when he should be a happy clam." We also say we're happy as clams in our relationship. So that's where it comes from. :-)
LOL, these are hilarious!
Ocassionally we'll call each other love. Otherwise, I'm his Stradivarius and he's Maestro. :)
Oh! And he calls me sweet tart, since I'm not much of a honey or sweetheart. :P
