My sister calls me pinky (pinky and the brain)
My late dad called me pest rat
My husband calls me gorgeousness (I can only assume sarcastically 🤣)
My older son calls me mumala
My mum calls me by a diminutive of my name
Only distant relatives, professionals and strangers use my actual name.

I hope that ridiculous AI suggestion box didn't rewrite my thread title. How long has that bloody stupid thing been around?

Mater, one half of mater and pater. By the kids.
That's it I think

My grandmother used to call me 'Bean', as in string bean, because I used to be a skinny child. I am definitely NOT a skinny adult!

I feel weird now that its only me with a long list. I answer to anything at this point. 🤣
