Terms of endearment
Replies

I re-name everyone. My cat has about 6 different names - she comes when I call any of them. I re-named my boss's dog - dog seems to prefer the name I gave it. I have numerous pet names for my Husband and Daughter - none of which I can share here - some they like - some they detest.1

To each their own. I would feel like a pervert calling someone my daddy. Granted my dad is deceased, but it just doesn't sit well with me.
It probably has something to do too with what you call your father. My sister calls our dad "Da" and always has where as I've always called him "Daddy" never Dad so it would be weird to call someone I liked Daddy.
As for pet names, I'm from the south. It's kind of a way of life. I call strangers sweetheart and most children are referred to as baby, sweetie, darling, or hunny. I call the boy love, hun, or sweetheart.1 -

My dog has a hundred pet names. But she's, you know, a pet. I rarely call her by her real name. She knows it's serious if I do.
My significant other has one name, his.1 -

We're in a Dominate/submissive relationship. For me, its very natural. I've never called my own father "Daddy" before, so it isn't weird to me.2 -
My bf has a hundred nicknames he calls me. Most are to troll on me bc I'm dating an "internet troll" irl. I use his name or his name shortened most of the time. I never liked "babe" or "baby" but I do catch myself saying it rarely to him. BUT if I'm talking to my 4 year old niece I call her babe and baby, hun allllllll the time! One time I was in the car with her and her dad and we both called her baby simultaneously. So he calls her that too. I didn't know I'd turn into a southern waitress when I became an aunt.

Calling your OH Daddy can also be a regional thing.
I know plenty of submissives who also find it icky. (Not dissing you for your choice; just want to make a point that there is no consensus on this term in the D/s community.)0 -
Oh and how could I forget? My bf has terms of endearment for himself that he made up one day and forever referrers to himself in the third person as said nickname. "Big Gangster Dick Tone" He came home from work just now singing that name to the tune of "twinkle twinkle little star" -_-0

Every Dom and sub can make their own names. Its typically Sir or Master, but it can be whatever each couple likes. To each their own!1 -
I'm baby girl, he's Daddy
At first I thought this was a joke.. Now I'm kinda scared... And I Have never called my papa daddy. English isn't my language but I'd never call a guy I was hooking up with daddy..
But hey.. We're all different and into different things.. That's the beauty of it.1 -
Married 6 years and we say "baby", "honey". In and out of the house. We also call each other inside joke nicknames that are spinoffs of what my husband's toddler little sister used to call us before she could pronounce our names correctly. "Haugz" for Alyx, and "Mahnah" for Molly.0
-
For my husband, it's usually his name or honey, and I do use baby. Usually baby at home, not out
My kids are "babes", just like my parents call me 0 -
I has no one to call me pet names right now.

Actually, my experience of other in D/s relationships IRL (as opposed to online) is that no pet name is just as common as Sir or Master.0 -

Yeah its really each couple's preference. That's the case in any type of relationship, D/s or not.0 -

I happen to like terms of endearment. I don't think it's creepy or weird at all. I use the term "baby" and "babe" often, I hope I don't offend or creep anyone out and if I do, you must be anasshole. LOL. I'm kidding. 1

Spent Boxing Day with my husbands family inc my sister-in-law and her new ( almost a year) man.
Every other sentence between them was finished of with "baby". It was verging on the silly in my opinion, esp in a room full of family.
But maybe it's just me? I've been with my husband 25 years and have never called him anything but his name, if my memory serves me right. And if he's called me anything, I can't remember it.
It's quite possible we've done it randomly here and there mid cuddle when alone but it's not a habit.
Do you use pet names? Which? Why? In public? And are we unusual if we don't?
I guess that's cute if they're new but like how long have they been together?0 -
I call my husband by his name, "babe" or "honey." He always calls me "sexy" or "hot tamale." 0
-
I do a lot just by habit. I'm southern, so everyone is darling, sweetheart, dear, etc.0

-
My husband is sweetie or honey.
