So to continue on with last week's post. This time I'm going to talk about the male side of nicknames in my experience.
Almost 14 years ago I met a guy who I eventually married. One thing I found cute about this person was that he'd often refer to his feelings by colour. It took me a while to figure out, but eventually I learned that beige meant okay. I was so taken with this and several of his other cuteness points that I started calling him Smurf. He's never regally objected, but if he thinks he's done something worthy of being called Smurf, he'll remind me. Of course my observations are based on the original Smurfs from when I was a preteen not the new ones that my daughter is getting introduced to.
Again my husband, like my dad doesn't have a pet name for me. We've tried several over the passed several years but nothing seems to fit.
As for my little girl I do have a nickname for her and so does my husband. My nickname for her is based on her first name and the start of her middle name while my husbands has to do with the fact she is Daddy's Princess. She seems to like them, but time will tell and I suspect they will change as she gets older.
