I was just thinking about how on meets, social or otherwise, I tend to call Marc by his nickname rather than his actual name because it's so natural to me. I was thinking about how that might be confusing for some of our meets since my nickname for him sounds similar to a real name...
It got me thinking...do you usually have a special nickname for partners/people you're dating or do you tend to use the more generic endearments (honey, baby, etc.)?

"I'm not comfortable with using nicknames until I really know the person well. Until then I'll call them by their first name."
But what about when you know them well....generic or special nickname? Or none? |

When I know them then I'm quite happy to use a nickname, usually the one their known as. I guess the only special nicknames I have are at the moment for family. |

I used to call ma ex Babe when we were in private. As her name was Debra, as opposed to Deborah, I called her Debs when we were in company. If I wanted to wind her up, I'd call her Debbie which she hated   |

How about calling them what you like or comfortable with. Its good to be discrete but taking it even to nicknames is quite funny if you ask me. It's not that deep! |

The people I've met from Fab, I tend to call them by whatever name they use on here.
I was out with Peach Perfect last week and it seemed strange to call her by her real name, so in the club I referred to her as 'Peach', both to her and introducing her to others! |

Hm, I don't think I framed it right. I meant long term partners or people you're dating as opposed to people you meet off fab.
But I guess you can answer for either/both  |

You're a Dick. |

That's why on the Deed Poll Name Change ? thread, I said I'd change ma surname to Head  |

What's a partner?  I'll have get back to you on that one. All I will say is that I like people to call me by my actual name. There's a personal reason for me being like that but I just would not allow anyone to call me by a nickname. |

My habits have tended to be either the full version of their name if they go by a shortened version day to day - e.g Alexandra, when everyone called them Alex, or a custom nickname that we create together. I tend to only use "generic" endearments (babe, love, etc) for more casual partners. |

There are a few friends and ex-partners that call me by a slightly rude sounding diminutive of my actual name. The current squeeze and I do have names for each other and they're not generic, are based on our actual names and relationship and weren't discussed, just a natural linguistic evolution between people who are close. |

I make nicknames up for all the people I love. It's sort of an involuntary compulsion and the nicknames evolve over time. For the last year or so my little boys have been 'Chops McGraw' and 'Stinker Magoo'.
I call MrWho by his name or just 'mister', I'm sure it'll become something else in a couple of months. |

An old playmate of mine used to call me Dinks....purley because i have dinky nipples in comparison to my boob size.
I really like the nickname, so kept it for friends to call me  |

My fab name (Mike) is my first, given, name.
Whereas I'm known by my middle name to family and friends 
It confused the hell out of the person I was meeting when I answered the phone with my "real" name  |

My exes all had the idea that nick names were supposed to be a mandatory part of the relationship, calling me things like pookie and pickle. I've never seen the point especially as I already go by a nickname. My last gf however was very kitten like so, called her kitten. |

"I call an ex - who's still a good friend - my piglet or plain old Pig. His surname's Hogg. "
Added to that, he's one of few people that refers to me by my full name. So I guess it's somewhat a nickname as other people call me by a shortened version of my name. |
