~ Most Common Terms Of Endearment ~

What do you call your SO?

If you don't have one, how about your friends, family or even strangers?

Which term of endearment do you use most often?

I've been with hubby

so long I can't remember the last time I called him by his first name. It's always "Babe, Sweetheart, Baby ... butthead (just kidding!

)"

Seriously though ... which do you use?

Veelyn · Feb 26th, 2008, 03:58 PM

babe or noochie. lol

itsnicole · Feb 26th, 2008, 04:14 PM

We both use "babe" for each other, lol... we rarely use our first names, it's usually babe.

AudreyII · Feb 26th, 2008, 04:18 PM

His for me is baby poos, which if I think about it literally, makes me wonder if it's really a term of endearment...

titania029 · Feb 26th, 2008, 05:54 PM

I call him honey, he calls me sweetie. We do have other names, but they're not for the public

My DH is "sweetie", but for my pets I use about a hundred other words of love.

ChiChi143 · Feb 26th, 2008, 06:38 PM

I usually call him Babe. He calls me Sweetie, Sexy, Baby, Babe, Sweetheart, and other names I can't post here

The only time I hear him actually say my name is when he's mad or VERY serious.

sara999 · Feb 26th, 2008, 06:42 PM

he usually calls me widdums and i call him smelly.

illinirdhd · Feb 26th, 2008, 06:51 PM

We both use baby a lot.

I call our dogs "puppy" or "furball" or "good boy" or other endearing things. OK, and I call one of them "beastley" and the other "fleabag" sometimes (always in a nice way).

I never refer to other people (girlfriends, random people in a store, etc) with endearing names. It makes me crazy when people I don't know or don't know well do that. I don't mind so much when men do it, but I hate when a woman on the phone or a sales associate calls me honey or sweetie or something like that. Ugh. Sickening.

northernbelle33 · Feb 26th, 2008, 07:48 PM

Me: Babby, Beetle Babby, Babbylove, Baby, Pinkie Pie, Love, Lovelet, Chublet, Chub-Chub, Chublin Bread, Chubwai (like Mugwai (the type of creature Gizmo from the movie "Gremlins" is), except with Chub

)...

Him-Puppy,Puppy Pie, Baby, Babby, Babbylove, Lover...

I might be forgetting some...

lv-lover · Feb 26th, 2008, 08:01 PM

I use babe mostly. When I don't know someone's name, I call them sweetie.

Vlad · Feb 26th, 2008, 08:04 PM

I know what you mean! It doesn't really bother me if they're just being nice but if it's said in a really patronizing tone like, "Sweetie, let me tell you again.." then it makes me want to give them a mean look. And I'm not the type of person who shoots strangers mean looks either LOL. Darling is the one that gets to me most. Especially when men say that to me. Or babe/baby. I can't stand a random guy calling me that. I'm not your baby, now please leave me alone.

PinkCupcake · Feb 26th, 2008, 08:43 PM

After almost 30 years together ... he calls me Babe, Precious and My Lovely. I call him Mr. Cute Stuff and You Boy. We both say Sweetie and Darling, and we do the double-up thing, as in Sweetie-weetie, Precious-wecious, Darling-warling.

I dunno why I'm laughing, it just strikes me as funny ... maybe I'm just really happy to think, hey, 30 years and we've still got it. When you're young you hope you'll have a happy marriage, but it's not until you get this far that you realize you've actually made it this far ... you've achieved your dream, 30 years and the endearments are still going strong. It's such a great feeling.
