    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) Laughing

    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.

    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!! Embarassed). He calls me "Lily Pad" or "Stubby"...because I'm barely all of 5feet tall!

    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.

    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!

    @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'. :)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.  :-)
