Ours include 'bubby' and 'honey' primarily, but 'cookie-muffin,' 'mama's crumbles' (something on the menu at Frankie and Benny's, I think) 'cookie-pudding', and 'corn puff toes' have all cropped up from time to time. Sad, I know.

I want to hear your most saccharine, cringiest monikers!

My current squeeze tried calling me 'angel' but was met with such withering scorn that he's now stopped. I am no fucking angel.... Hmm

Mine was GiGi after a bra intervention Grin

His was his name plus 'cakes' on the end - my iphone did an autocorrect, and that's what I called him thereafter!

Oh, and Mrs'HisInitial'tb (to be) until he remembered he was already married. Wanker

Fathead for DH - am very romantic me!

Halfrek · 12/10/2013 19:34

I call DP 'chicken' or 'kitten' quite often, or spoonerise his name. Mostly its to annoy him and he does it back to me. Whoever can get the cringiest one usually wins.

CaptainPoop · 12/10/2013 19:36

We have loads and loads for each other. They change every few months as one name gradually morphs into another.

The one consistent thing we have is how I respond to him telling me he loves me:

Dh "I love you, Captain"
Me "You stink of shit"

BTW, this is only for special occasions, normally I just say "I love you too".

redundantandbitter · 12/10/2013 19:46

Pumpkin . Sausage. Mostly honey.. Darling... Lover (said in a wurzels stylee), sunshine. That's when we were still together. Now the names I call him aren't quite so affectionate, obvs

God, I can't believe I'm going to tell you all this:

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 12/10/2013 20:39

DH calls me chuckles sometimes. I call him sweetie or sweetheart. V v boring.

My dad used to call me McGillicuddy for some reason.

We do have this "magic word" that we use on each other when we are having a stupid argument and we are stuck in a downward spiral and need/want to snap out of it without losing face.

Snagglepuss.

I. Am. Not. Kidding.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 12/10/2013 20:41

DSIL and DBro call each other Cow and Chicken. Turns some heads and gets some dirty looks when he shouts down the road at his lovely wife "COW!! Co-oooow!" but really it's from a cartoon called Cow and Chicken and they are a couple and the cow is the girl.

Thurlow · 12/10/2013 20:42

I get called 'chicken'. I normally call him 'Pop-Pop' because, if anyone gets it, "Pop-Pop gets a treat?"
