What Do You Call Your Partner?

[Wild_Honey_66]

Besides their proper name, i mean. Titles, pet names, let's have it!

Also, what do they call you?

 

[Blue]

I don't have a partner, but the closest thing to one that I have I call 'Cat'.
I don't know what she calls me because I can't understand her.
But if I could then I imagine the name she gives me is probably less a name in the way humans think of names and more like a stream of thought associated with my being. E.g. "Two Legged Giver Of Meat Squishy Heat Source".

[seela]

In a true Finnish tradition I eschew calling people by any name*. But when I do call my partner by a name, I mostly call them by their proper name.

I also call them by a slew of names each sillier than the next. I tend to come up with nicknames, a new name for a new situation or whatever, but they don't always stick. They rarely have anything to do with D/s, though.

Like when J cooks, I call him Jorck (which is a play on his name and the name of a celebrity chef here), and I only use that name when he cooks or when we talk about him cooking. It's gotten to a point that he's started to use the name himself, too. He makes Jorck's special sandwiches etc.

I'm also most often called by my first name. I had one partner who used to call me honey, sweetie etc. and it freaked me out every time it happened. I don't always do intimacy very well.



*Here names aren't really used that much. Like nobody would ever say "good morning, Seela" to me, they'd just say "good morning". When you add the name it can very easily sound a bit mocking and definitely weird. And when I hear my name repeated often, I start to feel like I'm in so much trouble with that person for some reason. Which is rather unfortunate, because my name is also a very common word, so I hear my name thrown around a lot.

Hi seela! Silly names that just sort of happen are the best.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

I have called partners by their first names and by terms of endearment, only twice have I used titles.
For no particular reason, I seem to use Darling a lot.

Darling
My darling
(Name) darling

(Name) dear

Baby
Babe

Daddy
Sweetheart
Sir

I don't seem to be very creative in this area, do I?

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

That reminds me of this wonderful story.

Cute!

 

[Angedesoleil]

Oh I'm big on terms of endearment.

So I've been called recently:
Lovebug
Angel
Honey
Sweety
Kitten
Pet ( not a huge fan, but consider the source)

I used to be habibty and magnoonah ( Arabic for my love and nuts said teasingly)

My students also gave me an arabized version of my name as a nickname.

I have used for significant others:
Sweetheart
Love
Darling
Honey( not allowed to call Sir this, his ex killed it)
Sir ( duh)
Dude! ( but never guy)
Master ( twice only, don't expect to ever do that again)


Used to: habibi, roh albi, ya gozy and husband's name which is in itself a term of endearment. ( my love and king of my heart above)

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

I don't think you really want to know the names my husband and I currently have for one another, there's nothing endearing about it.

Once upon a time, he used to call me "Pretty".

Hi Indie!

You can count Lit friends, too.

Yeah.
My ex, too.
I was Pookie.

Once the nicknames stop, it’s over.

fucking pervert!


I call him Sir, though I wouldn't say he's my partner.

 

[SalvDali]

I call her baby, beautiful, sexy, and sometimes milf for fun.

 

[Bramblethorn]

"Snugglebunny". Or sometimes "snoogy woogy" and "bitsy pookums", for the Calvin and Hobbes fans. Or "Oi you".

 

[HisArpy]

Wifey. Or her proper name. I'm not big on nicknames because I had to live with too many hurtful ones when I was younger.

 

[Blue]

fucking pervert!

Sorry, I can't tell if that's a joke or there's been some horrible misunderstanding.

No worries! It was sarcasm.

 

[Blue]

No worries! It was sarcasm.

Oh goodie
I thought I might have implied that my cat is also my romantic partner.
The things I'm into aren't that weird.
