do you call your partner by their name?

Your not strange at ALL! It's so funny but i do the exact same thing! I NEVER call my husband by his name. That just seems so odd to me, like it's to formal. I usually call him baby, babe, honey, or my personal favorite Daddy Pants! LOL!

Sometimes I call him by his real name (Bryan) and sometimes I call him babe. Many times I address him by the nickname I to gave him a long time ago, which is Bunny, from a funny story... But that's another topic altogether!

I do not exactly call my partner by name, if I need to call her, I call her -"Dear, please listen.........". She also normally does not call me by my first name, in Indian culture, wives do not call their husbands by their first name, except some exceptions.

I call my husband "daddy" or "be" short for "Babe' or "Baby". I even don't know how and who started calling. But when are furious or have a petty fight, we call each other's full name. . . hehehe

you're not strange... it's better you call your partner with an endearment than to call them with their names...it's not so sweet... I don't want my partner to call me with my name either... It's just like talking to your friends...

I don't have a partner because I not old enough to get married.Haha~ But I remember my mum always call my dad'd full name.That does not necessarily mean they don't have a good relationship.NO no no,it is juat habit.

Someimes I call my husband by his first name, other times I call him things like sexy, hot stuff, goodlooking... My sister calls her husband Pooky. I don't think we even remember his real name anymore. Even the guys at work sometimes call him Pooky.

well,,,i am single right now..anyway my last partner???hmmm...lets see, i call him mahal..mahal meaning love in our country. or mahal ko..meaning my love...thet last would be vin, short for his name..that is if i am trying to be sweet!hehehe!but when i am angry..i call him in his full name!hahaha!now ask me how does he knew i am angry!hehehe!

Of course you're not strange! I exactly do the same. I dont call my husband by his name, we call each other LOVE...

Yes i call my partner by name, eventhogh in our indian tradition we are not suppose to call him by his name. In our tradition we need call him with some respect. But we are good friends so call him some time with funny names.

I call my hubby babe too...LOL or I call him by his name Lamel when i am mad:) sometimes i call him by my nickname for him MELY. People always tease mely but it is my name..so, so what LOL.

I have several endearments for my husband, but I also use his name--well, his nickname, actually. He is very hard of hearing (really!), and I often need to call his name repeatedly and loudly before he hears.

Its funny you should bring that up. I am constantly telling him to call me by my name. I get so tired of hearing BABE all the time. He fell in love with a real person with a real name. It doesn't take much effort to say BABE all the time, you know?

I call him honeydew or papa because of my 2 yr old. I think pet names are cute and special

Hon! Sugar! Babe! Yep, I use all those names for my honey. I don't usually use my honey's real name, cause it makes him feel like I'm calling him on something he's done. He's a big softie, so I try not to offend. It's rubbed off onto a new generation and now I call my little girl "sweetie". She's so funny. Sometimes she calls me "honey", isn't that too sweet? Kids are so adorable and funny. Thanks for the super fun discussion.

I sometimes call him by his name if we are in public and if I'm mad at him. But I usually add name in his name which is cute.

I call my boyfriend baby alot but I do also call him by his real name as well especially when we are in public =)
