What name do you most like your significant other calling you?

I've always loved being called "babe". Not as in, "Whoa! You're a babe!" but as in "Hey babe... how was your day?"

That's hawt, I didn't think you were the kinda girl that likes being called "babe," but it's cool that I was wrong.

I'm single now but back when I was in a relationship I used different words depending on the mood. Sometimes it was "sweetheart," sometimes it was "love," sometimes it was "princess," sometimes it was "hottie/hotness."

Are you calling me melon because I'm fat and round like one!?!? You think I'm fat don't you, why do you hate me I slave over this stove all day and you wanta call me a melon!
 
I sawy "lovely" as in " Lovely how was were your day"
 
I've always liked being called "princess".
 
For me it really doesn't make a difference what the term is (assuming it's positive in nature) so long as she is interested enough to use it. I tend to use "Sweetie/Hon/Lovely Lady/Beautiful" quite a bit myself. What does frustrate me is being in a relationship with a woman who doesn't use any sort of term of endearment, or who after we've been seeing each other for a reasonable period of time is not introducing me as her boyfriend. Those sorts of things tend to make me very suspicious of her true level of interest in the relationship.

Hummm, that's interesting.

To everyone else, can we please not turn this thread turn into another exploration of Tigger's beliefs about women?

I love it when Tom says, "Yes, Dear...." with that twinkle in his eye. I call him Tommy Boy. He calls me Your Royal Highness. ;)
 
I use 'gariad', from 'caru', to love, soft mutation for direct address ('c' to 'g' start) It means 'love' or 'beloved', but its so much warmer. We call English 'yr iaeth fain', the thin language. It is so cold and sad!
 
I think terms of endearment are ok in moderation. But if used too often it starts to sound like you are talking to a pet or child or something. The worst was a former roommate who used to talk to his girlfriend on the phone in a baby voice and say things like "hey there boo boo!" Barf.

I call my boyfriend "baby" sometimes or greet him on the phone with a "hey sexy" or something like that. But I always do it with a sense of irony, in a kind of teasing fashion. I think that makes it a little more acceptable somehow.

...now terms of nonendearment in bed, that is a completely different issue. ;)

I love it when people use my real name.

I get called a nickname almost ubiquitously because people are lazy. My name is not hard to say - it's perfectly phonetic and none of the sounds are foreign to English. It's just that it's unusual, so people have this mental block about it. Everyone tells me how pretty it is, and then they don't use it. I don't get it.

So, when a guy consistently calls me my real name, it makes my heart go all aflutter. Is it sad that it actually makes me do a double take when people call me my own name?

Apart from that? I like terms of endearment that feel natural for the speaker. I liked my English boyfriend calling me "lovely" because it sounded natural. An American doing the same doesn't. Likewise, a Southern guy calling me "hon" or "sweetie" sounds natural, but for a Northerner "babe" sounds more natural.

I tend to use "babe," myself.
