Just like I don't call him by his.

He calls me a shorter version of my name or hun, love, babe, or mama. It just varies. pui on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name/page/2#post-958402 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:34:16 +0000 pui 958402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I probably say "hon" or "honey bunny" more often. Lol I think the most common time I call my DH by his first name is when he's teasing me or I'm nagging him for some reason. :P MrsH on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name/page/2#post-958394 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:31:51 +0000 MrsH 958394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He calls me a nickname that is not associated with my name in private. He doesn't really call me anything in public unless he is telling a story about me and then he uses my real name. I'm always a bit shocked when he calls me by my real name.

He calls me "girl" and I typically call him "honey bear." delight on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name/page/2#post-958218 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 07:28:46 +0000 delight 958218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No he calls me by my initials "MT". He has done this since high school when we barely knew each other and the nickname has just stuck. We joked about changing it to "MH" when we married and my last name changed, but I will forever be "MT". bushelandapeck on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name/page/2#post-958203 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 07:22:19 +0000 bushelandapeck 958203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We call each other "hon" or "honey" most of the time. Occasionally when I need his attention and he's not listening, I will use his name and he does the same with me.

We call each other "Sweetie" (and we've been doing it LONG before River Song started calling the Doctor that, so there!)

He doesn't call me by a pet name either, it's usually just us so he just starts talking and I know it's to me. If he calls me something it's either "girl" or my name. looch on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-958131 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 06:39:22 +0000 looch 958131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I call my husband a shortened version of his first name or his first name. He never calls me by my first name, he uses what our son uses, Mamia. Mrs. Jump Rope on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-958123 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 06:34:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 958123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hmm, not really! He calls me by a shortened version of my first name, or babe. He usually calls me babe. If Chloe's in the room, he will call me mama. I call him by a shortened version of his first name, or call him a nick name that's really ridiculous that I made up. Or babe.

He'll call me Baby at times, but I'm never called him anything but his first name...or something in the moment, like "Silly Goose" or equally as nauseating. It's funny, though, we both talk to the animals and DS with all kinds of cutesy nicknames, lol.

I don't know, we're not the "babe," "baby," "sweetie," etc. types. It just doesn't feel like me! :-) SleepyMonkey on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-958100 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 05:45:37 +0000 SleepyMonkey 958100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we call each other honey and i think it is weird when i hear him use my name. he only says it when he's speaking about me to other people, or when we're in a store and he has to get my attention...even then, it's usually honey. TheSwissWifeStyle on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-958057 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 02:41:24 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 958057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah true, he doesn't use my first name that much either. (In reference to a post from yesterday about what do you call your SO.) We are "babe" to each other. How original. lol mynoahbear on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-958008 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:15:41 +0000 mynoahbear 958008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We never call each other by name. We call each other by our initials. We've done this before we were even dating and were just friends so it would be strange to start going by our names now. Although when we're with other people and we are talking about each other, we will use our names. It is weird to hear our names being said by one another though.

It always weirds me out on the few occasions he does. When he's irritated with me he calls me "woman." Lol!

I hardly use his real name either. bunnylove08 on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-957947 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:16:49 +0000 bunnylove08 957947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dh calls me bun (he nicknamed me bunny) sarac on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-957926 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 22:44:54 +0000 sarac 957926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never.

When I annoy him is my real name. I hear my nsne often.

Anyway, my husband calls me by a nickname that only he and my mom use (although it's common for my first name - it's just that no one else caught on to it). He hardly ever uses any endearments, though he does call me "Mama" a lot for the sake of our dog. skibobrown on "Does your SO *not* call you by your first name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-not-call-you-by-your-first-name#post-957855 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:50:48 +0000 skibobrown 957855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Rarely.

He almost exclusively calls me Honeybee.
