Sometimes haha. I know what you mean. It's weird having him say my name too!
hehe... yes. I mostly call him J, which is his first initial, and has always been my nickname for him, even when we were just friends.
Calling him by his whole name just feels so ... formal!
I call my FI by his last name, which will probably be weird after I change mine to his..I second that him calling me by my full name is strange!
I hear ya! I never call him by his name, unless he's in trouble! In public, like in a crowd, I've been known to yell, "babe!" and he turns around, but so do so many other men! Lol. It does seem weird to use his name BUT what would be even more strange would be if I used the nickname his friends have given him. He'd die! Haha
haha I'm trying to think of when I use him name. I guess when I talk about him to other people in person/on the phone. When I'm with him I just call him "hun" and when I talk about him online I usually call him B (just because I'm lazy really). Also trying to think of the last time I heard him say my name... probably only when he is a relating to me a story he told about me.
LOL, I just thought about this last night. He was really ticking me off and when I told him to stop I used his first name--and then I thought about how I hardly ever call by his first name, it's always babe, honey, hun, sweetie, sweetheart, etc.
We actually DON'T use pet names at all. I call him by his first name, and he calls me by my first name. We're both not big on pet names. Except for our pets.
We call each other by the one-syllable variants of our names.
I was never one for being called babe/etc, and he's done it maybe once or twice, to be met with an icy-cold "did you just call me..." glare. I forgot what his protest was, but I think I told him he could, but only "babe", never "baby". He hasn't done it since.
We have proper nicknames for each other, but they're only in use on phones and buddy lists.
I usually call him by his first name (although sometimes I call him "babe" or "gravy"--in serious conversations, too), but he *never* calls me by my first name unless we're fighting ;).
We actually don't really have pet names except for little plays on our first names, so it's never weird to us. Although he NEVER calls me by my given name, but no one does, not even my parents.
I use his name often to friends and family so I don't find that weird but I DO find it weird when I hear him say my name! I giggle like a school girl when he does because it is so rare - he usually calls me babe or hun!
I almost never call my fiance by his first name. He actually goes by his middle name so when he is in trouble I use First, Middle, AND last...but other than that I either shorten his middle name, call him by his last name, or by his pet name...Stinker. I call him Stinker b/c he is spoiled rotten. He answers...even in public...probably b/c everybody who knows him already knows he's spoiled rotten...LOL.
My husbands name is Kenneth and so is his dads. I call him Ken but his entire family and friends calls him Kenny. So when it's just us, it's not weird to call him Ken but when I'm around his family or friends, it is because they call his dad Ken and him Kenny. And he's just not a Kenny to me.
I know what you mean. I feel that way, too. We have a ton of little nicknames for each other, but when I say his first name, he usually snaps his head up and goes, "Huh? What'd I do?" In public, I try to use his first name as much as possible, or when we're around his parents, just to avoid grossing anyone out with the constant, "Hey baby, hey hunny, sweetie" crap. LOL.
We use our names for the most part. We don't do pet names much. Sometimes "bub" or "babe" and he calls me "doll" but honestly, we're first namers all the way. Then again, he's one of those guys who goes by his first and middle initial (like EJ or AJ) so i guess it is kind of a nickname =]
My FI has a longtime nickname which he goes by at work and with his family, so it is really weird for me to call him by his real name. I even wondered if I could get away with using his nickname at the wedding!
I need to start using his real name more. This "baby" thing we've got going on is probably realllllly annoying for other people.
I call him Jon Jon becasuse thats what his mom called him when he was a baby and we still think its cute and he don't seem to mind so ;) Yes it is totally weird when he call me by my name Im usally called honey.
We only use our first names when we fight - or if I'm trying to find him at work. I know he's pissed when he says my name (and vice-versa) ;)
Yeah, I think it's really weird to call him by his name. We're usually alone so "Hey" usually suffices. It's not like the dog's going to respond.
When he uses my name I think I'm in trouble lol. Probably because he always starts out with my name when he's arguing his side. He'll be like "A, I feel like blah blah blah..."
Around his family, I call him by his name or refer to him as his proper name. They all call him various nicknames and think it's weird that I use his proper name. But that's what he introduced himself as and what he goes by.
That's funny because I almost always call FI by his first name or a shortened version thereof. Sometimes we call each other "Bud" (like short for "buddy") but we don't have any cute-sy pet names for each other.
My FI's name is easy enough that I use it just as often as I use "Baby" or "sweetness". He NEVER uses my name, though so it's really weird when he uses it.
He calls me my nickname & a few cutesy love names... I joke that he doesn't even know my first name! I call him generic love names & his full first name! lol
I almost always call him by his first full name while everyone else calls him by the shortened version of his name! His mom doesn't even use his full name, so he knows its me calling :)
I don't think it's weird at all! We hardly ever call each other by our names. We were recently on holiday with my mother, and had to use each other's names more. It was very odd.
lol, this is a good post!
I always call my FI babe or baby. I only call him by his first name if I'm being really serious with him because I'm mad or if we're in a large crowd and I'm trying to get his attention
My FI and his best friend have the same first name so the best friend goes by his last name and my FI goes by a nickname his hs football coach gave him. So neither of them have the same name dilemma...lol. However I am the only person in the world that doesn't call him the nickname from HS. When we are with his friends and I say his first name, they're like, huh? OH yeah, "FI's Nickname"...lol
This is funny, my FI and I have had this conversation a lot. At my work we call everyone by their first names all the time in order to get their attention so I end up using names when talking to other people a lot more than he does in general.
I can't remember the last time I called him by his full name, I just use the first three letters of his name. Sometimes I call him babe or sweetpea but most often just the beginning of his name. I'm not sure the last time he called me by my name, sometimes he uses my nickname (cole, duh) but other than that its just babe.
it took FI a whole year to convince me to use the shortened form of his name! i really like his full name, so i usually call him that a lot, though i'm not sure what the ratio of me calling him "babe" to "hisrealname" is (both in public and private).

I know this sounds like a bit of a strange question, but who else feels funny using their SO's name?
When it's just the two of us, I call him by whatever pet name comes to mind. When we're among friends, I call him "babe" or "angel". But having to get his attention in public, I can't bring myself to use any of those, and it feels odd to use his real name. It's less odd to use nicknames his friends have given him, but still a little bit strange.
Am I the only one who thinks that's wierd?
