I call my wife, Yiddo, softie, Little one, honey. She calles me Monkey or love
 
My wife was given her name, Marie, by her parents. I do not presume to think that I can outdo them or recreate their daughter for my own purposes. Marie is the name that I call her, nothing else.

What a very snotty statement.

In my family there was one occasion where one of my sisters was having a fight with one of us (can’t recall who). In the middle of which a phone call came from her boyfriend.

Of course she took the call but the fight continued at intervals even so - and it was hysterical to see the lightning change from ‘sweetie’ and ‘honey’ (to the boyfriend) to the not-so-nice language she was using to whoever had upset her.

I missed this Lily! Sounds like typical sisters! I have a sister too 😉
 
Oh… I just thought of one that DH calls me… it always cracks me up and I have no idea where he got it…

“Mighty Whitey Aphrodite”… classy, huh? 😉 😃 LOL!
 
My husband and I call eachother the names others have listed; babe, honey,sweetie, sweatheart, angel, my love. I also call my daughters these names so often I will be trying to ask my husband something and my daughter will respond instead. I will say “I was talking to daddy” and she will say " you know you have more than one honey!" Yes I do!

My sister and her husband call eachother by their first name and the only endearing term they use is “dude”. One day at a family meal my sister was teasing me and starting saying “honey, will you pass the butter, baby? Thanks sweetie” to me because she thought is was ridiculous that we spoke to eachother that way. Then my husband turned around and started calling me dude! “Hey dude, will you pass the salt? Thanks Dude.” His little display made her shutup. The honey sweetie baby talk was much nicer.

I think having this type of banter is good for a person’s marriage. My parents didn’t use endearing terms when talking to eachother, and are now divorced. My sister and husband are having problems in marriage. My inlaws call eachother sweet names and are going strong after over 35 years. Hey, if it works go with it!

I also call my husband boyfriend, lover, and Daddy. The daddy name was actually deliberate because I called him daddy in front of our daughter since the day she was born. My sister and her husband called eachother by their first names in front of my first nephew, and he called her by her first name until his 3rd birthday.My sister hated it had had to unteach it. When they had their second kid, she made sure to refer to herself as mom and her husband as dad!

I wonder if the person who only calls his wife by his first name makes his kids call her by her first name too!
 
I have to add that we are in the same boat as those that use given names when in trouble. Dh calls me Kimmy, but if I hear Kimberly, I want to duck and cover!

Since we have our kids and I have called him Daddy around them so much, it feels a little weird to call him by his name anyways.

My son did call my husband ‘babe’ once or twice and my bestfriend’s daughter called her dad ‘hubby’ before. 😃
 
Not married yet, but we already call each other sweet names:D , I think they’re gonna be there even after we marry (at least half of them for sure)😛

I call him Joesito, furry bear (he LOVES it, and he rawrs when I call him that, LOL), baby bear, cutie, mi amor, babe (lol, very common, i know…), Mr. [insert his lastname here]

He calls me sweetie, sweetie pie, sugar lumps, Melissita, My Meli, baby, gorgeous, beautiful, Kitty (I meow at that one, giggles), Mrs. [insert his lastname here] and many more that I can’t remember right now :rolleyes:
 
We mostly call each other mommy and daddy! When I hear him (rarely) call me by name, I get nervous and think “what did I do???” LOL! Maybe this is TMI, but does anyone else have pet names for their spouse’s, ahem, private areas???😃 :eek:

let’s not even go there. please keep the thread on topic.
 
In public, I call my DH “Babe.” When he’s in trouble, it’s “Sweetie.” After 25 years, I’m still not sure he’s caught on to that.

What I call him in private, I think I shall let remain private. I’d be too embarrassed at the silliness.

it wasn’t my intent to be snotty by any means. i just thought the reference to private parts was not really for this discussion.
please. do not take it that way. there was no uncharitableness intended on my part.

There are people who DON’T use cute names who have great marriages.

My mom and dad have never used cute names, they have a rock solid happy marriage for almost 46 years.

My in laws, never a pet name, they have been happily married for over 40 years.

My grandparents never used cutsie names, they had been married over 40 years when grandpa passed away.

DH and I are pushing 17 years with nary a pet name, my sister and her husband are a year behind us at 15 + years of happy strong marriage, no pet names there either.

The other thing, we are all VERY much the witty banter type. Another interesting thing, none of us baby talked to our children when they were babies - I wonder if there is a connection?

If it works for you, great, it is IMHO another kind of public display of affection and should be kept restrained in public.
