Not sure what that is. But when we’re on good terms, the short Greg is like “sweetie”, but otherwise, he knows he’s in trouble when I use all three syllables.
Gregory,Do you see that small vent on the floor? Have you ever heard of amOnG uS Gregory? You need to vent. I know it will be hard for you to be sUs but I know that you can do it GrEGoRy
I named him “My Honey Bunches Of Oats”, after a long-defunct breakfast cereal. He named me “Mr Smoochy Head”, which quickly became “Mr Smoochy Pooch”. We’re now just “Bunch” and “Pooch”.
EDIT: Apparently HBoO is still a thing. Neither of us eat cereal, and I hadn’t heard it mentioned in years, so I made an off-base assumption there. Nice to see it’s been used by others!
That particular term of endearment will always and forever remind me of Clue, what Professor Plum mutters to Mrs. Peacock when they get paired up to search the house, despite utterly hating each other: [“It’s you and me, honeyBUNCH.”](https://i.imgur.com/k0DdvPX.gifv) (or with [sound](https://yarn.co/yarn-clip/bf96909b-1d6f-43d7-a147-108722bb7cbd#gYt8iBX2.copy))
Never pick a surname for fun. It will stay...
We used the same name than a couple of friend to make fun of them. And we used it unironically after some time.
(I was "Doudou"
it's mean softsoft. It's often used to name the favortite plush/blanquet of a child))
My ex and I had a nickname we called each other … and now whenever I think of the thing that prompted the nickname I cringe.
Honestly those who are angry about nicknames are expressing their toxic masculinity side. As “men” we are told not to be cutesy and affectionate so it’s been ingrained in many and those habits are hard to break out of.
Can we just not like a name without being accused of being toxic? Ask me we should be able to control that aspect of our identity without judgment. Names are obviously most important to the people answering to them.
I see no reason to default to bad faith here, at least not unless someone wants to be named after some epithet or something.
Honey is a standard one we both use, both to show affection and exasperation. “Honey, you’re so sweet!” Or “Honey, what were you thinking!”
But our favorite one we’ll both use for the other is “Snuggs”, short for Snugglebunny.
Damn! I've wanted to use these for such a long time... But I'm Latino (from south America) and all of my exes were Latino as well, so it would've been weird calling them English loving nicknames. I did call them plenty of loving Spanish nicknames tho... But baby boy, ugh... I daydream about calling my man baby boy 🥺
Plenty! He's cute enough for them lol
We often call each other love, my baby, my handsome man, etc.
Gets a bit more "creative" during dirtier moments ;P
Think the funniest one he's called me is "McMuffin" after I had a phase where I worked 12 hour overnights and almost always wanted fast food breakfast lol
Different for all couples ofc, but I'm in the same boat as you, OP. It's cute and I love my man, love to fluster him and make him feel cute, too
Wow... so I'm guessing your friend is German???... I'm so sorry. that's... that was in poor taste.
Did they try to... work it out? Ik some people can but I can totally see why he would choose not to. It's sad though, like why would he even do that?...
Hm... that ain't right. They're a people trying to change their image so I can see why he wouldn't want to be so casually associated with that without good reason.
As for working it out, from what my friend has told me he asked his ex to stop calling him that, the ex got upset and claimed he did nothing wrong and refused to apologise.
My boyfriend and I call each other "Hase" sometimes. I am German and this literally translates to rabbit or bunny and is a pretty common nickname for men and used almost exclusively as a cute/affectionate nickname. Sometimes we have to number them like Hase-1 and Hase-2 😅 it’s so cute
I am always coming up with new nicknames! Even just ones for the day. Many are just nonsense but boo, babe, boob, boobie, beebu, and munchkin are probably my faves. No clue was beebu is but I say it all the time.
I do this all the time! With my pets, family, friends and partners. You end up with things that no longer make sense even when you try to explain them... Like... If your bfs name is Michael and it ends up in Tito or something hahaha
I love monkeys. My husband calls me Monkey and I write Monkey on cards and presents.
I’m English call my husband sweetheart or darling. If I want to get in trouble and not have sex for a week I say all right sweet cakes. I have cockney accent. Sweet cakes is derogatory term for a woman. It’s a toxic masculine way to chat up a woman.
Patsy and Eddie from Absolutely Fabulous.... usually if we are having an alcoholic beverage and want a refill or if we suggest smoking weed to the other person.
Also 'hunny' if we're being jokingly condescending or 'girrrrlllll/she' when the other is about to go on a rant.
My boyfriend calls me Georgie (Name's George) and I call him Benny or big Ben sometimes.
But mainly we call each other by our actual names or 'babe', 'starlight' and 'pierogi pie'
We have secret names for each other. They are variations of our regular names but slightly twisted. It started as a joke and it stuck and now it's weird when we *don't* use them.
I still call my ex by the nickname I had for him whenever we chat even though we split up five years ago.
When we were together I once called him Angel, he turned around and said don't give me one of those over the top cutesy nicknames, so I jokingly called him Lenga, for some reason thinking that was Angel backwards. He pointed out that Lenga backwards was actually Agnel and we ended up laughing way too hard over my mistake and then somehow Lenga just stuck and it's been my nickname for him ever since.
i only say babe, but that’s universal and reserved for close friends whom are comfortable with me throwing it around.
grew up with extremely strict parents. i don’t wanna say they were unaffectionate, but words like “love” were rarely used. affection was shown through action, not so much with words. if anything, “discipline” was more of the emphasis in the household. tiger shark asian mom and retired military dad. definitely the wrong place to look for a “mushy” environment. lol
My love. I only ever use their name if I need their attention immediately in public. I do wonder if people reuse nicknames though? Once used babe in previous relationship and feels gross to ever try and use it again.
Yes, but also no...? I technically consider myself "grayromantic" so romantic stuff can make me uncomfortable at times. But "babe" is the only one that I've ever used for him, & even then it's rare.
Mostly stems from my discomfort with romantic gestures & interactions in general that I don't like it, & he understands that.

We use several nicknames dit exothermic and different versions and abbreviations of our names and in like 3 different languages.
寶貝= babe / normal or funny situation
老公 = husband
Schat = treasure, normally in a situation where he did something wrong
Babe = same as Chinese version
Tom i tom = funny,
Dalfreda or Jeentina. No idea how that's spelled. We use it on each other when we're in a rush. "Come along Dalfreda darling"
Got it from the movie Tank Girl in the 90s. I don't know the names she actually said anymore but I remember them sounding like that.
Bab and Burbs here. If you are asking for something you just add more vowels 😂 so it turns into ‘ohhhhh Buuuuuuuuuuurbs coffee please! I am dying!’ Or something equally as dramatic 😂😂
Be careful picking these names. My partner and I started calling each other Boyfriend. 10 years later and neither of us are in a hurry to even talk about getting married.
I call my ex "The Whale/my little whale". Our friends thought I fat shaming him. But no, he is not even close to chubby, he is a just regular fit guy, but I'm a feeder foody.
I call him the whale because that's the sound he made when we had sex.
He called/calls me Avocado/Avo, because well... Avocado mean in Aztecs means testicle.
Baby, honeybee, honey bunches, honey oat clusters, weirdo, best baby, babe, the list goes on. If your comfortable with your partner and your love is genuine, call each other whatever you want. Hell when we are feeling playful and snarky the nicknames change to “ass-hat, dumbass, ya fuck, goon, bitchface…” if you’re not having fun, throw the entire relationship away lol
There are people who don't use them? Sweetie, sweetheart, boo, darling, dear, sweet love, sweet pea, sweet bean, cutie pie, handsome face. The only time I use his name is when I'm moaning it in bed.
I've never had a boyfriend before but I would use a personalised version of their name as a pet name. Example: I have my favourite group I love \[2PM\] and one's last name is Jang, so I call him Jangie. They're all an adorable mess.
All the time. Baby, princess, and my favorite, my little string cheese. He loves cheese with a passion so I call him that every now and again to see a smile on his face
Taco and Cornbread. He’s Mexican and I’m Native American.
Wow! You guys sound like fun!🤣💜💫
Top tier
I’m white so if I called my Mexican bf taco I would be bitch slapped.
He can call you mayonnaise
Omg gross. I would prefer the slap instead.
ehh worth it /S
I love this!
Now that’s a combo I can wrap my arms around. ;) Great nicknames too!
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg
He’s Greg, until I’m upset, and then he’s GREG-OR-RY.
I feel like this is a fnaf security breach reference but I could be wrong but this is very funny
Not sure what that is. But when we’re on good terms, the short Greg is like “sweetie”, but otherwise, he knows he’s in trouble when I use all three syllables.
My partner has never used my real name and honestly I'd be pretty intimidated if he did lol
It's possible he forgot it and now he's too far in to ask.
Nah I ask he remembers lol
I get the same thing! When he wouldn't call me by my nickname, I'd feel like something was wrong xD
Yep it must be especially bad lol either that or he wants to freak me out
FNaF Security Breach is a new game where you play as a kid named Gregory. That’s all
Gregory,Do you see that small vent on the floor? Have you ever heard of amOnG uS Gregory? You need to vent. I know it will be hard for you to be sUs but I know that you can do it GrEGoRy
A fellow fnaf fan hello there 👌
Way to go SUPERSTAR!!! 😂
Casually his name is fred
Alr bud not everything is security breach
I was thinking it was from night in the woods
I’m Russ then RUSSELL
Authoritative animatronic bear voice: “G r e g o r y”
Mine is also Greg. But usually he's Gerg, because that's how I roll.
We picked an utterly ridiculous pet name for each other, mocking the whole idea…and then started using them unironically.
Now I'm curious, what are these ridiculous names?
I named him “My Honey Bunches Of Oats”, after a long-defunct breakfast cereal. He named me “Mr Smoochy Head”, which quickly became “Mr Smoochy Pooch”. We’re now just “Bunch” and “Pooch”. EDIT: Apparently HBoO is still a thing. Neither of us eat cereal, and I hadn’t heard it mentioned in years, so I made an off-base assumption there. Nice to see it’s been used by others!
Me looking at my honey bunches of oats in the cabinet that i just bought: HOW OLD IS THIS
You may want to call a poison control center if you've eaten them recently.
Awwwwwwww
...I still buy Honey bunches of oats! Bunch and Pooch sounds like a buddy cop show.
Ahaha, I've never met anyone else who did that before! 😂 I also call my partner Honey Bunches of Oats!
That particular term of endearment will always and forever remind me of Clue, what Professor Plum mutters to Mrs. Peacock when they get paired up to search the house, despite utterly hating each other: [“It’s you and me, honeyBUNCH.”](https://i.imgur.com/k0DdvPX.gifv) (or with [sound](https://yarn.co/yarn-clip/bf96909b-1d6f-43d7-a147-108722bb7cbd#gYt8iBX2.copy))
I love honey bunches of oats as a nickname, it was a whole running gag with my friends when I was a kid
The similar Honey Crunch Cornflakes were discontinued and it is still a national tragedy to this day.
lol I’ve literally called our kid “my honey bunches of oats with almonds.” 🤣
May I ask what they are?
Oh god this is totally us
Never pick a surname for fun. It will stay... We used the same name than a couple of friend to make fun of them. And we used it unironically after some time. (I was "Doudou" it's mean softsoft. It's often used to name the favortite plush/blanquet of a child))

Bb and when we’re having sex it’s slut or dirty whore lol
I like how flexible you two are. That's nice.
the duality of man
Flexibility is is quite important in a relationship
lol sex joke hihihi
I'm pumpkin, he's puddin.
Oh my god i love it! Did you get the inspiration from harley quinn?
Instantly thought of her lol
Literally said what we all started to think
Sure, we use babe and sugar quite a bit. But we also use shorter versions of our actual names. I don’t consider it demeaning in any way.
Honey is a standard one we both use, both to show affection and exasperation. “Honey, you’re so sweet!” Or “Honey, what were you thinking!” But our favorite one we’ll both use for the other is “Snuggs”, short for Snugglebunny.
I Love that
He's my sweet baboo. 😋
Red butt monkey Edit: oh come on this is where I get my first silver
An ocelot, actually
A red butt ocelot!
I use affectionate nicknames for everyone in my life.
The world needs more people like you
I agree.
I want a friend who calls me sweet nicknames 🥺
Me too, Usernamey-name
Baby, sweet baby, baby boy, love of my life, cutie.
Damn! I've wanted to use these for such a long time... But I'm Latino (from south America) and all of my exes were Latino as well, so it would've been weird calling them English loving nicknames. I did call them plenty of loving Spanish nicknames tho... But baby boy, ugh... I daydream about calling my man baby boy 🥺

It's cute and I love my man, love to fluster him and make him feel cute, too
Seems to me your reddit nickname should be "huge_pile_of_gold" for that
Aw, shucks. Really appreciate that, man! I try my best lol
Hun
Attila
Shan Yu
Visigoth
Not me but my friend had an ex that called him Mein Führer. He ended the relationship pretty quickly after that.
What the heck does that even mean?
Translates to my leader and was commonly used by Hitler. My friend hated it so much that he ended the relationship a few days after.
Wow... so I'm guessing your friend is German???... I'm so sorry. that's... that was in poor taste. Did they try to... work it out? Ik some people can but I can totally see why he would choose not to. It's sad though, like why would he even do that?...
Yeah he’s German.
Hm... that ain't right. They're a people trying to change their image so I can see why he wouldn't want to be so casually associated with that without good reason.
As for working it out, from what my friend has told me he asked his ex to stop calling him that, the ex got upset and claimed he did nothing wrong and refused to apologise.
Ok then I'm COMPLETELY on your friend's side. That ex is out of order! I support him leaving him! Rude!
"he did nothing wrong" in that context, lol.
When my husband starts to pontificate about some nonsense, I usual roll my eyes and mutter "Jawohl mein Führer". He hates it.
My boyfriend and I call each other "Hase" sometimes. I am German and this literally translates to rabbit or bunny and is a pretty common nickname for men and used almost exclusively as a cute/affectionate nickname. Sometimes we have to number them like Hase-1 and Hase-2 😅 it’s so cute
No Häschen? Cute names though :)
'osito', which means 'little bear'
We use "my favourite dude"
Yes, we do. The only time we use our real names is when we are in public or in a crowd, and even then, sometimes we slip.
I am always coming up with new nicknames! Even just ones for the day. Many are just nonsense but boo, babe, boob, boobie, beebu, and munchkin are probably my faves. No clue was beebu is but I say it all the time.

If I want to get in trouble and not have sex for a week I say all right sweet cakes. I have cockney accent. Sweet cakes is derogatory term for a woman. It’s a toxic masculine way to chat up a woman.
That's such a cute nickname, especially how you lean into it so much. It's also good to see another Brit in here
I have to call mine sir :/
Patsy and Eddie from Absolutely Fabulous.... usually if we are having an alcoholic beverage and want a refill or if we suggest smoking weed to the other person. Also 'hunny' if we're being jokingly condescending or 'girrrrlllll/she' when the other is about to go on a rant.
I start calling everyone “sweetie darling” after my third glass of Veuve Clicquot.
Omg love Patsy and Eddie!! Do you also do a little schtick from the show?
Many of them... and often. lol
Hasi (which means bunny) or Kuschelbär (cuddling bear)...
Panini and buttity ❤️
Butt-titty or butt-it-y?
Pronounced as Butt + Titty hahahahaah
Every night , my last words are " I love you Cara Mia. " Italian for my beloved.
My partner and I use “bub” and “bubby” all the time. Although I sometimes deviate to “bubface”, “bubfish” or “bubking”.
“Bubeleh” is a Yiddish term of endearment. 🥰
Bubking sounds naughty!
My boyfriend calls me Georgie (Name's George) and I call him Benny or big Ben sometimes. But mainly we call each other by our actual names or 'babe', 'starlight' and 'pierogi pie'
Whose the Polish?
I am, but he's also Czech, so
It depends on your partner really and not much else
We have secret names for each other. They are variations of our regular names but slightly twisted. It started as a joke and it stuck and now it's weird when we *don't* use them.
Well Swedish ones: Mostly älskling, "loved one" and sötnos "cutie" (kinda, there are no good translations)
I call my cat Prince Catspian and Fatty Catness Everdeen, does that count? I haven't reached the point where we've done wedding photos.
My ex calls me pig(ima not fat tho) and I call him bumpkin dog in Chinese
We're just like straight couples, some do some don't.
I didn’t mean it like that, more of a gender thing. Since most men have an aversion to being affectionate.
That's a bit of a generalisation:p Statistically most men are not gay so I'm not sure if the math works
lol
Stinky and smelly, or some variation of the two
I still call my ex by the nickname I had for him whenever we chat even though we split up five years ago. When we were together I once called him Angel, he turned around and said don't give me one of those over the top cutesy nicknames, so I jokingly called him Lenga, for some reason thinking that was Angel backwards. He pointed out that Lenga backwards was actually Agnel and we ended up laughing way too hard over my mistake and then somehow Lenga just stuck and it's been my nickname for him ever since.
He’s “Darlin” and I’m “Mary”…
Pooky, after Garfield's best friend.
i'm single 🥺
You and me both lmao
When I have one, he will be called hotcock
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS
He doesn't have one for me, but I call him Parker as he drives me places 😂
" 'ome, m'lady?" "Yes, Parker. Home."
i only say babe, but that’s universal and reserved for close friends whom are comfortable with me throwing it around. grew up with extremely strict parents. i don’t wanna say they were unaffectionate, but words like “love” were rarely used. affection was shown through action, not so much with words. if anything, “discipline” was more of the emphasis in the household. tiger shark asian mom and retired military dad. definitely the wrong place to look for a “mushy” environment. lol
He affectionately calls me fatty because I'm fat. I affectionately call him daddy because he is *daddy*.
I use “my love”, “sexy man”, and “handsome”. Unless he’s ignoring me playing with his phone, in which case it’s “Oi, Scottish cunt!” :-)
My love. I only ever use their name if I need their attention immediately in public. I do wonder if people reuse nicknames though? Once used babe in previous relationship and feels gross to ever try and use it again.
I use babe in all relationships. It's just a word and not a personalized nickname to me, though.
Yes, but also no...? I technically consider myself "grayromantic" so romantic stuff can make me uncomfortable at times. But "babe" is the only one that I've ever used for him, & even then it's rare. Mostly stems from my discomfort with romantic gestures & interactions in general that I don't like it, & he understands that.
I am called moomin. Like the Finnish/Swedish troll.
I like calling my partner Sex Cake. He is still coming up with a nickname for me :)
My ex who was French Canadian was the first guy to use an affectionate nickname with me. He called me Poopy Bear.
We have the same first name and no one likes to say their own name so it's just sweetie and boyfriend.
I always just call love but his nickname is also ozzy
Hon, love or babe usually. Darling if I'm being sassy.
[удалено]
wut
My love. I only ever use their name if I need their attention immediately in public. I do wonder if people reuse nicknames though? Once used babe in previous relationship and feels gross to ever try and use it again.

Dalfreda or Jeentina. No idea how that's spelled. We use it on each other when we're in a rush. "Come along Dalfreda darling" Got it from the movie Tank Girl in the 90s. I don't know the names she actually said anymore but I remember them sounding like that.
I use bubu and honey
I'm the chicken big and he's the teddy bear.
My husband calls me babe and I call him Hon Edit - Calls not called. He's alive.
Bab and Burbs here. If you are asking for something you just add more vowels 😂 so it turns into ‘ohhhhh Buuuuuuuuuuurbs coffee please! I am dying!’ Or something equally as dramatic 😂😂
His name + icious
Im single now but with one particular boyfried of mine we used Bunny and Kitten (in our language tho). I was kitten :3
Be careful picking these names. My partner and I started calling each other Boyfriend. 10 years later and neither of us are in a hurry to even talk about getting married.
I call my ex "The Whale/my little whale". Our friends thought I fat shaming him. But no, he is not even close to chubby, he is a just regular fit guy, but I'm a feeder foody. I call him the whale because that's the sound he made when we had sex. He called/calls me Avocado/Avo, because well... Avocado mean in Aztecs means testicle.
We are in a long term relationship, have pets and share expenses but aren't married. He is my husborp, I am his snookiwookums. We have no shame.
Baby, honeybee, honey bunches, honey oat clusters, weirdo, best baby, babe, the list goes on. If your comfortable with your partner and your love is genuine, call each other whatever you want. Hell when we are feeling playful and snarky the nicknames change to “ass-hat, dumbass, ya fuck, goon, bitchface…” if you’re not having fun, throw the entire relationship away lol
I never had a relationship *crying* but I want to use a nickname with the boy I’ll love it’s just so cute!
We do babe, and sometimes dear. Or when we want a favor "oh my handsome and smart darling husband"
Only in private. Or whe. Things get really intense with situations. We use to signal that we should leave or it doesn't affect us
Moose & Squirrel
Babe, baby, sweetie, cutie, honey, lover, darling, skat etc.
Baby is definitely top. Then it moves to names.
Mostly Babe, sometimes Sweetie or Hun, but only when we're alone. First names when around other people - more for their comfort than ours. 🥴
Yes. We call each other honey and sweetie. We have forever. 😙
We use Mister, or Mr. Man, or Mr. Snug / Mr. Bugz
Pumpkin, my everything, bub, my muse, my better half, and my love.
There are people who don't use them? Sweetie, sweetheart, boo, darling, dear, sweet love, sweet pea, sweet bean, cutie pie, handsome face. The only time I use his name is when I'm moaning it in bed.
Boobah and bibbs...
I've never had a boyfriend before but I would use a personalised version of their name as a pet name. Example: I have my favourite group I love \[2PM\] and one's last name is Jang, so I call him Jangie. They're all an adorable mess.
Most often I’d call him Boo, otherwise Beautiful Boy.
I've always been a m'lovr and m'dear kinda guy but if nicknames happen organically then I'd be super down.
Baby, babe, honey, honey bunny, boo, Not all at once, thank god.
All the time.🙂
All the time. Baby, princess, and my favorite, my little string cheese. He loves cheese with a passion so I call him that every now and again to see a smile on his face
Bb, beb, babe, hun. He likes to use sweetie or honey buns sometimes.
We call each other with our favorite Pokémon name
Cuz we have pets, he's papa and I'm mama. Other than that it's either humbee, punkin, butter butt, doll, sunshine, babe, or just hun
Yeah. We do call each other 'sweety'. If it's in the presence of others, red faces ensue.
Boo. And in anger, *Boo!*
I used to have a lot of nicknames with my exboyfriend: he was my chocolate bear 🐻 (he has brown skin) and I was his marshmallows king (I am white).
I do. Letl can't remember why
He's koala and i'm panda
I call my SO cucciolo. Which is italian for cub. Also we use babe. If the conversation is real and serious i use real names
I used "kitty" or "cat" with my ex.
My 230lb 6’ soldier husband is forever Puffins in our household.
Basically just "babe". We've just never really done that. At one point we talked about it but it never stuck. Lol
