Darling/Babe/Hun - Genuinely interested

[SchoolRunsAreNotFun]

Genuinely interested to get other MN’s opinions on being called the words ‘darling’ or ‘babe’ etc...

I have to admit I’m definitely one to call people ‘lovely’ and my close friends ‘babe’ eg. ‘hi babe just checking in to see how you are...’
I think this stems from my mum and family. My mum will call absolutely anybody ‘darling’ including people her age/older than her.

Interestingly we’ve never been a ‘hun’ or ‘honey’ type of family. Really not sure why.

What about everyone else?

Yeah..Hun means something very different in the west coast of Scotland. My dad used to call me "doll" which was quite common in his generation. Despite professing to be a feminist I do like the west coast male "Alright doll!" greeting because of my dad.

I love being called "pet" from older family members.

I even love "toots" from men friends that I have fondness for.

It's all a bit random.
