Not sure why I thought about this topic but I thought it would be fun to list all the nicknames you had or pet names you have used or received from other people in the past.

Kinda wondering how many of the water signs won't do this since apparently nicknames/pet names are super personal.

Do you use pet names with a significant other? Have you had someone say "don't call me that" yet you still do it? What about the nicknames you give out to family members? Do you call them by it on a regular basis? Do you find using nicknames/pet names embarrassing?

Most people in my life either call me Stompie (which means a cigarette butt) or 2 Short. I hate both names but I've learned to live with them.

My aries ex calls me "Ya habibi", which supposedly means "darling" or something like that.
My libra ex called me "Meri jaan" or "Gashti" when angry.
My scorpio ex called me "baby gurl". I hated it because he was older so it sounded dirty when he said it.

I generally don't use terms of endearment in my romantic relationships- I think I said "baby" a few times to one of the men in my life & every time I said it, I somehow wished he hadn't heard. I don't even know why I said it *shrugs*

My aries ex's name is Shoaib, but when my son was younger he used to pronounce it "Shoaiby". He'd cry at night & be like, "Shoaiby, tum here" "Shoaiby, give me a bottle", etc. So now *I* call him Shoaiby, as well. I think I got used to it because of my son.

I have too many nicknames for the people in my life. Too many to list here. But many of them are what I call the person(s) in my head. It's a secret. Example, I worked for a couple many years ago. The husband was thin & tall, and the wife was short & fat. In my head I referred to them as "10".

OMG LOL! 10....Awesome. I do call people tons of nicknames or "code" names that I have with a girl I work with as far as us "talking shit" about our coworkers.

A few of them are:

Nigel = Cause he has the nose of Nigel Thornberry from the Wild Thornberries (Nickelodean Cartoon)
BM = Baby momma cause her boyfriend doesnt have a job for the last 3 years, doesnt do shit
DQ = Drama queen cause shes bat shit crazy
DB = Douche bag pretty obvious
Libra, Taurus, etc.
A myriad of short letters again like I said earlier like E, L, H, K, etc.

I don't have a lot of nicknames/pet names. I don't really care for them, either. Especially the ones made up by significant others. Most of them just sound cheesy or awkward to me. It has a lot to do with who's saying them. If the person starts off using pet names, it sounds more natural and easier to accept than someone who starts off with boundaries and doesn't say that stuff.

Babycakes and puddingpop are the only two nicknames I remember being called and those were both by the ex who started off calling me such things. My other s/os have mainly stuck to using 'baby' or 'cutie', which is fine by me.
