We were at a wedding last weekend and priest droned went on about how you may have pet name or nicknames for your spouse but one of the most important names you should call them is “friend.” I totally agree, but I think he could have made his point a little sooner and with a bit more flair. It was starting to remind me of the wedding scene in The Princess Bride.
Anyway, it did get me thinking about all the nicknames we have for one another. They are super embarrassing. Actually he calls me pretty normal stuff like Sweetheart (personal fave) and Boo, although he does throw in the occasional Wifey. I’m not a fan, but whatev.
I, on the other hand, seem to have an aversion to calling him by his given name. Here are some of the stranger things I call him:
1. Boo Berry Rex
2. Boo Berry
3. Pumpkinhead
4. Muffin Tush (simply because it sounds ridiculous - he has a fine tush, nothing muffin-y about it)
5. My Sexy Hunk O Man
Why do I do this?? They sound silly as all get out, I know. I promise I don’t do it in public. It doesn’t seem to bother him and usually I call him Sweety or Sweetheart.
Do you have any crazy or ridiculous names you’re willing to share? Or do you abhor nicknames all together?
