A friend recently confided in me, with a slightly worried air, that her DP has started calling her "Bobo". She is worried that this marks a sort of downturn in their relationship, but I see it as quite a good thing.
I call DH tiny reindeer. He calls me munchkin.
Anyone else got anything they'd like to get off their chest?

A friend was called "Ange the Flange" by her DH. They divorced.

My husband calls me Sanjay (as in Sanjay and Gita from East enders) I don't have a nickname for home, but will call him 'bae' when I'm pretending to be down with the kids.

My ex called me bitch and I called him prick.... Hmm maybe that's why we are exes.

Tiny reindeer? Is he short, horny and hung like a horse?

no, I just have this habit of seeing people as animals, and it's something about his nose... I can't adequately explain.

Sometimes he also calls me poo-pie. I'm not sure how I feel about that one.

We are actually normal people and not imbeciles, though the content of this thread may suggest otherwise.

I get called Flysh-bass. Yup. Don't even remember what it came from.

We both use Bean. But I have been known to use this for all sorts of people. Once it slipped out to the postman!

19lottie82 · 23/08/2015 00:34

One of my friends calls her DP, pongoose Grin

FithColumnist · 23/08/2015 00:36

Shnookums. I fucking hate it, which is why he calls me that. I call him cockweasel.

ALemonyPea · 23/08/2015 00:59

DH calls me squidgy tits. Do I win?

Cliffdiver · 23/08/2015 01:01

Not me, but friends call each other Mama Bear and Papa Bear. Their DS is Baby Bear.

travertine · 23/08/2015 01:03

I ironically call oh 'light of my life my reason for living' one of his friends thought I was serious. Said she must really love you (I do) he calls me fat bum. Pet name for me is dirty bitch but that's not very nauseating.

Hamiltoes · 23/08/2015 01:12

"babesy", it started off you know when you're taking the piss out of something but it eventually just stuck? He doesn't even say it sarcastically anymore, people must think we're a bit mad.

I call him bumbles.

DH calls me "Princess" Hmm I'm very un-princessy though...so not sure why he does that. I think it's meant to be ironic. I'm quite sporty and able...known for being capable in problematic situations. I think he's taking the piss.

QOD · 23/08/2015 07:51

Dh used to call me schmeagle (sp)
I then watched The Hobbit Angry

Notstayingup · 23/08/2015 07:55

I call DH chocolate or head (short for fat head) he calls me flower Blush it's a bit naff isn't it, but I like it

weaselwords · 23/08/2015 08:00

Husband calls me weasel. I quite like it.

loving these. I think so far that the most nauseating is probably the Mama/Papa/Baby bear family, although it is also kind of sweet. I quite like the cosy naffness that comes from spending too much time with someone, although it can lead to embarrassing yourself in public.

I also have ridiculous names for some family members. I call my mum Bumble and my dad Buffy. I call my MIL Moomin. I never used to believe in nicknames and then a few years ago I just started doling them out like anything. I wonder if it is part of the general mental deterioration that comes with age...

DH calls me Honey. Even in his phone I am titled Honey, birthday cards, everything. Quite sweet really.

I don't really have one for him.

Palomb · 23/08/2015 08:34

I have an ex of mine on Facebook, he's just got married. He seems really happy but he calls his wife The Creature. All their honeymoon photos are captioned.."The Creature enjoying her spaghetti carbonara" "The Creature loves this beach" "The Creature and I"

Thank fuck I saw sense.

SickInBedOnTwoChairs · 23/08/2015 08:41

Palomb The Creature - Flippin'eck! Proof, if it were needed, that you made a healthy choice to bin his arse!

We call each other 'Bud'. Short for Buddy I suppose. He is about to be a Grandad so I shall call him that for a few days and the knock it off and go back to Bud.

Junosmum · 23/08/2015 08:51

I call OH muffinchops, pudding or pumpkin. Which has totally outed me. He doesn't really have a name for me ????

M00nUnit · 23/08/2015 08:51

My DH calls me "my angel" or sometimes "angel tits" which I find quite funny. He talks about me on FB as "the angel".

PlummyBrummy · 23/08/2015 08:59

Poopy (him) and Smelly (me). When we moved into our first house I wrote 'Love you Poopy' in paint on the fresh plaster of the fireplace. Took me about 12 coats to paint it out - you can still see a faint trace now...

NoArmaniNoPunani · 23/08/2015 09:47

We call each other butt buddy
