I'd like to think it makes me seem like a gritty, hardboiled, 1950's Chicago private detective but I don't think it does.

not sure how he's gotten away with that tbh

beans
mcgooch

jozzaroo
jorrissey
beyonce (as preferable to fiancee)

my dad does this. he calls my mam mary, she's not mary and never has been. it's got the same syllables as her name, there is actually no point to it. it's something to do with olden days and female horses being called mares?

"Funnyface"
"Farty"
"J"
"Pen"

I tried with "sweetheart" in some kind of loveable gangster vein for a while but it didn't work

bubba
beeb
bobo
etc

we used to call each other pi/pie for years, not so much these days.

but be it wife or child, it tends to be food stuffs or animals usually, ie, sausage, tiger, pumpkin, monkey. or alternatively captain fancy pants.

Is there anyone who, like me, ONLY uses nicknames and then finds it very odd when, in company, you have to use their actual name? I would never use the GF's name when it's just the two of us

Bumblebee

or Cowbag

Apparently the latter is more offensive.
