Another thread has me wondering, what nicknames or terms of endearment do you and your family call one another? We have lots, the list could go on & on.
Toots, Bubbles, big daddy, Mr. super cool groovy, Pop's daddy-o,Pal,
baby girl, goofball wierdo,honey, dear, sweetie pie , snookums, crabby patty...

We've got lots...I just kinda call the kids whatever pops into my head at the moment. The regulars are:
Pumpkin pie
Pumpernickel bread
Knick-knack-paddy-whack, give the dog a bone (Yes, I actually call Patrick this all the time...why? I don't even remember)
Fuss Budget
Fussy britches
Fiona Bunkle (what we call Julia when she's being fussy)
Freddy Bunkle (what we call the boys when they are being fussy)
Jpeg
Peggy Sue
Jbear
PitPat
Matty Methusela
MitMat
And, of course, when the boys have a present for us:
Poopdeck Pappy
Stinker pants
P.U. Bear
Then there are the old standbys of:
Sweetie
Honey
Sweetums
Sweets
Yes, it is a wonder my children even know their own names! Although, in a store, no one else's kid comes running to the call of Knick-Knack!My Blog: http://amysreallife.wordpress.com

Wow here are ours:
I call DH: Papi, Babe, or Honey sometimes, PITA (wink)
I call my DD: stinky butt, tee-tee, or Katie-lynn
My DS's: We just call them by name
No extravagant names for us, we're just plain simple

We have quite a few. As a child my daddy would call me Little Dummy and I called him Big Dummy. He also called me Go-Bird (I always had to be going somewhere). Most of my friends called me Leigh-Leigh or shrimp (I am very short).
Some of the kids' nicknames are:
DS
Big Dawg
Dawg (he is much bigger than other kids his age, he is the big dog of the group.) Most everyone, both parents and kids that he plays ball with call him Dawg)
Boogie - I love Mike Boogie from the show Big Brother.
J-Rod - he is a great baseball player and loves the player for the Yankees called A-Rod.
When he was three he came into the house and announced to me he was not John-Christopher, he was Mac Daddy. For the next three months we had to call him Mac Daddy no matter where we were. He would not respond to his given name.
DD
Angel - because of her big heart
Ali-Angel - name given to her by her Maw-Maw
Squirrel
Precious
Grace - she is not graceful at all, very accident prone.
If the kids are together and I want them both I call them A & B. I will just yell out "A & B come here."
DH and I do not have nicknames for each other.DD (19)
DS (16)
DH (Knocking on 40's door)

In high school, my friends used to call me Naderbug. It eventually got downgraded to Buggie for quite some time -- my ex was still calling me Buggie not long before I left him.
calls me such endearing names as Babe, Treasure and <a href="http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail31.html">Sugarbob</a>. lol BTW,
is not Daniel.

DH and I call each other baby, pronounced BEH-beh. We've been doing it so long that if he calls me by my real name, I think something's wrong

Occasionally DH calls me wifey or my lil pain in the butt, and I frequently call him insane
but those are more descriptive terms rather than pet names.
“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Oh that's right,
also calls me "Missus" quite often too. "Whatcha doin', Missus?" or "Ready to go, Missus?" It's cute.
