Endearing Nicknames

Laurie's posting of having her current beau calling her the same endearment as his ex gf ("my dear") caused me to think about how many unique nicknames can we give our current dear ones without repeating ourselves?


I don't consider myself a player (married 19 years, been with ex about 25 yrs) and had a couple serious relationships post divorce.


I have called my then wife "honey" and "babe.

That just reminded me of my brother. When he was a baby he couldn't say my name so he called me KiKi for years. I had forgotten all about that until now.

DD's friends are very affectionate when they call me that, so I really don't mind.

Nick Names are Fun!


I have a Fench name so most of my nicknams are a take on that. My ex used to call me "Mademoiselle" and others have called me "Lafleur" in honour of a famous French Canadian hockey player. I get lots of "twists" on my name.
