I make em call me "Daddy"...before I crawl into the deep space of what people without biology degrees can get an access to.

You're from Texas, you KNOW when you get older it's going to be "Big Daddy"

lol!!!

I don't care what my man calls me as long as it's said with love and endearment.

I'm from Texas and around here people refer to you as sugar, darlin', babe, sweetcheeks, hun, sweetie, etc. and it irritates me to no end. It's just so fake and sickly sweet. Makes me cringe and shiver - like nails scraping a chalkboard.

It's pretty common in these parts. lol!!

I wouldn't count that as a nickname unless it was somehow connected to a person's real name, personality, characteristic trait, physical trait, etc.
That's more of a common term
of affection/endearment/politeness/friendliness that people/strangers throw around these days.

For example, at work, a female colleague and male Hispanic customers call me "Mommy." I can't explain it, but coming from them, it's adorable. Others call me "sweetheart", "honey", and "love." It used to truly irritate me, but now it doesn't bother me so much. Also, I find that I'm more willing to accept it if it comes from someone my age or older. Teenie boppers saying, "thanks, hun!" is eye-twitch inducing.

If you're talking about a significant other, them I would hope my man knows me well and is also creative enough to have a pet name tailored for me. It doesn't have to be the very first of its kind, but it has to relate to me/suit me and not every female version of Tom, Dick, and Harry (Larry?).

I think it's "mami"-- which is similar to sweetie or honey.

I don't mind it when it's intended to be friendly... as for the teenie bops, though?

I hate that shit. *shudder*

I told him that their was no need for that type of vulgar lol!! Ehh different strokes for different folks?..

Never been called Bae. Is it short for "baby"? I love being called baby, though. One I can't stand is "babygurl". I hate it with passion. I've even told a guy to stop calling me that because I don't like it.

lol LadyofRebirth I agree and yes it's short for baby and it's just a lack of taste for a nickname for your significant other. I don't think I prefer them anymore, maybe in high school. ehh :p

Lol nemesis, I will be taking note of that I don't do nicknames. He's trying to think of a nickname and I'm like can you not. My name is good enough ha!.
Zero yes that's also what it means but it's so effortless so many guys use it even guys whom i don't know randomly say it, so it ticked my nerves when he decided to use it -_-.
And lol "papi" now that's a classic..

I ex and I had nicknames. She'd call me jerk face and asshole, I called her bitch. She used to get real emotional when I'd whisper cunt.

lol exo I remember a guy I was once talking to told me to call him big daddy b I am still rofl to this day. Awww I love the pokemon names very creative 😉.
Sid :O omg lol
Darling is a nice one, the sweetest thing I've been called was sweetheart after I was pushed along side into him, just so happens I was seconds later to be caught in his arms :p.

Haha. Seriously, I call my daughter baby it'd be weird for me to call a gf that.

When I was a teenager dating my first wife, I called her sugar (corny, I know). She actually called me Kleatus...from the Klumps movie. It had recently come out and we laughed like mad people at the dinner scene. The giggles and low brow fart jokes, the clapping Kleatus chant....ah. Somehow the fact that the movie and I made her snort in laughter linked me to it. A bunch of us hung out all the time and goofed off, we reenacted(ish) the dinner scene...in public and I was cemented as Kleatus.

Or maybe it's cause if you had put my real family at a dinner table it looks about like theirs did.

Yes, my husband calls me common nicknames: babe, bae, baby, sexy, sweetheart, boo, etc.

But we also have nicknames for each other that are more personalized. It seems that most others do too. He calls me Krysmeth b/c he says I'm addicting, just not in the "I'll eventually F your body up & kill you" kinda way lmao

Sometimes we only use our more personalized nicknames behind closed doors & use the more common nicknames in public or around others. Hell, most people wouldn't understand our personalized nicknames either. It's not supposed to make sense to anyone else. It's between us. It's something only we understand.

mine calls me baba,

ARE YOU BABA JI?

In Romanian there is a tendency to use insults as terms of endearment. It all lies in the tone.

We don't do "honey bunny" we do "you disgusting piece of shit" and it comes off as adorable and caring because it is.

+1 on what Nem said about "knowing what's up". If he also brings flowers, it's a wrap.

You dated a Romanian chick? Tell me more.

Krys aww that is so cute I agree I think it should only be able to be understood between the two individuals.
Damanta :O , note to self never date a Romanian. lol
