Consecrated2God had an interesting point the other day on one of the forums, so I thought I would open lines of communication and ask the ladies to sound off on any pet names that bother them, and why.

I love it when my boyfriend calls me pet names. It's so sweet and cute and always gets at least a giggle out of me.

We rarely use each others actual names. We usually call each other honey or sweetie. However to tease one another sometimes we will come up with silly, sappy and completely ridiculous names for each other. So I guess there are no pet names that really bother me.

I hate nearly all pet names, Expecially to someone that I am not mutually attracted to. It irritates me when I hear a coworker call me a pet name if they are male and 30 years older than myself!

Can't think of any offhand, but if he calls me something and I don't like it, he will know.

Oh, don't call be "babe"!
I don't like a few of the others listed, but "babe" will nearly get you punched. Also, like what boots said - pet names are earned.......

Pet names don't really bug me, most of my friends call me "Tink" or "Chick".
The only thing that bugs me is when someone who I don't like calls me "sweetheart" or "cutie", I
really would only feel comfortable with my future boyfriend/husband calling me either of those.
Other than that, pet names are okay as long as you have earned the right to call me them, you
have to be one of my good friends first, then I really don't care.

Well I generaly give pet names and nicks first, spontaneuos and is steady depending the persons names and ways..but is goes like repeating the persons first letters names like Gig, Jojo, Vivi, Dada...lol..or when it goes so cute is patiti, puchuchu, and ending with "inho" because is diminutive in my mother tongue...and funny that foreign peoples friend kind of imitates me and return the same pet name or simply apply "Dri"..
Reggarding English I dislike very much "hubby" sound and give chills..but I may dislike pet names because of the sound of it in any language very much but the reality is, nobody calls me that or I will apply it ever even if marry someday.
I am cool with my choices and if somebody call me something I have problem with I will ask to come up with another choice that sounds better, to me. Funny that I just remember a male friend as his name started with D and I came up calling him Ddi..lol and he told me "I don't like that.it sounds feminine"...I try not use it but ended up using anyways and he ended up not bother by it..hmmm...but I when don't like it ad people insists I sure tell people to stop it! and they do..well my brother did not but he was into bullying me when we were kids...that is different and irritates big time. 
Thanks..

Pet names from my husband spoken in love do not bother me at all! I love them!!!
Pet names from other people is another thing. I cannot stand when I hear guys talk about "the wife" as though she were his possession. I also can't stand when guys I don't know refer to myself or other women as 'chick', 'sweety' or 'hun'. Blech.

When I was in college, an ex-boyfriend ONCE called me Thunder Butt.
I slugged him.
He never did THAT again.
Bwahahahahahaha! That was great! You're cute! Can you give me his address so I can look him up and slug him, too??????
My precious children call me mom, and that still makes my heart zing. My grandchildren call me grandma, and I love that! My boss calls me by my name, as do all my REAL friends. But my husband can call me anything he wants, because he is not obnoxious about it. However, he would even consider calling me by my old name.
Although my name was legally changed aeons ago, certain family members call me by my old first name, even writing it on envelopes. That is obnoxious, stubborn, and thoughtless. But while I still love them, I really dislike that strongly. They have No Clue how strongly I dislike that. Or maybe they do. It is disgusting.

A pet name would REALLY bother me:
1.) When it's obviously a putdown, such as Fatso or Funnyface or some other insult, and then they claim they meant it affectionately, and I'm too sensitive if it hurts my feelings.
2.) When it's used in a condescending manner or in a tone of voice that one would use to talk to small children.
3.) When a man I'm only beginning to investigate the possibility of dating, as in we've only spoken maybe once or twice, is already making with the Sweetie and Angel. (This is no longer a situation that I expect to be in--I'm getting married next month.)
4.) When it is a little too sexually charged.
My fiancé can call me anything he wants. He usually addresses me as Love.
But the funny thing is, he calls me Love so often, when he calls me by my name, I wonder if he's mad at me.

I hate "boo" or any twist on it (such as "boo boo"). I don't mind slang in general - a lot of it is imaginative and novel - it kind of puts a new twist on things; but for some reason I hate "boo." I also hate "hon" and "sweetie" - unfortunately both are common in the south (which is where I live).

I just don't like pet names. If you're not southern or 70 years old there's no reason to call me sweetie or dear and there's never a good reason to call me babe or baby. I'm not an infant.
I don't mind nicknames but pet names are silly.

I don't think that's cool.
PRAISE THE LORD -- MY HUSBAND IS BACK FROM IRAQ 
but it sounds so unnatural for me even though it's my first language.
