what pet names did your parents call when you were little

This is very weird, but my dad (only my dad, not mom) calls me "Dad." He'll call and say, "Hey, dad how are you?" Very weird to others, but not me. I am not sure how I got the pet name. Maybe it's because my first words were "da da," so maybe, through some weird logic, he decided to call me that. I'll have to ask him one day. My mom always calls me by my middle name; no pet name there.

I call my dad "daddy." To some, it might sound weird that a 23-year-old man calls his dad "daddy," but it's pretty normal to me. No other man will ever be my daddy. Even if my future boyfriend/husband wants me to call him "daddy," that's one request that will go unfulfilled.

 

I was my mom's "Pumpkin" when I was little. She even dressed me as a pumpkin for my first Halloween.

 

God, I had all of them: honey, princess, sweetheart, etc. They all just sound the same to me, there are some that my parents call me even now that I wouldn't recognize if someone else used them, but wouldn't bat an eye at if my mom said them. I'm pumpkin, too, now that I think about it.
I did get a couple of weird ones along the way, though. After his first stint in rehab, my dad started calling me "bear-bear"- again, I didn't realize this until he pointed it out. It's funny now because my new middle name, which he'd chosen back before I was born, means "bear".

 

I had a nanny that smoked a lot. She'd have me empty out her ashtrays and started calling me that. Ashtray. Soon everyone in my family started calling me that as well.

 

Oh my gosh. That's almost kind of exactly like Cinderella. :icon_bigg How do you feel about it?

 

It was fine when I was little, but now I'm 17 and they haven't stop. You know what it's like to have your mother show up at school with your lunch, that's embarrassing enough as is, hug you and your friends, then loudly say "love you my lil ashtray, have fun with your friends"
:dry:

 

My parents didn't call me anything, but my sister does. She calls me Shea Bey or Shea and Stephanie(female version of my name). I don't mind either and I don't really care if she calls me them in public. People have called me Stephanie because of it, but I honestly don't mind. I actually rather be called Stephanie than Stevie *shivers*.

My nephews, when they were little, called me "Uncle Steepy" because they couldn't say my name originally. They eventually grew out of it, but my family still call me it, but again, I don't really mind.

I also many nicknames that people gave me growing up and I might as well add since it's sort of related. A lot of people call me Scuba Steve or just Scuba. When ever I played sports and they would say "Scuba Steve or Scuba" instead which was fun. They even included in my name when they called me to get my diploma when I graduated. lol A lot of people call Bossman or Boss at work, don't really know why. I also get the genertic big guy every now and then. Oh, one more, this one was more of a joke than a nickname. When I was in band, I played clarinet. There was 16 people who played clarinet and the rest was girls, so I was the only guy. So, a group of my friends decided to call me Pimpinet for the rest of year. It's sort of funny now because look what happen.:lol:

 

No pet names for me.

 

I had no pet-names...I occasionally do now...sometimes mum will call me Holly-Polly which makes me all tingly.

 

Besides je-jen-ja get in here! No Im kidding...sorta, mom only did that when she was angry at either my sister or I XD. No weird Pet names besides jess or babe. Which she still does to this day.

 

A million of 'em, all too embarrassing to mention.

 

I've been Boo/Booster ever since I can remember

 

In Italy it used to call own children "love/my love". My mom always calls me in this way, as well as my name.

 

My dad called me Claire Bear, and sometimes still does.
My mom did and does call me Little Bit and Sis.

 

My mother was called "the duchess" by her brothers (not very affectionately), and maybe that's how my father came up with "Duke" as my pet name (he was not a John Wayne fan). I just always liked the sound and the affection he put behind it. He was the only one who used it. I always made me feel special. Sometimes he'd call me "the wee bairn", but he was from Scotland and that's fairly typical. I was the youngest of the 1st cousins on my mothers side, and an only, so I was the "Brat". That one stuck and still remains in use unfortunately.

 

Since I was a baby, my family has been calling me guera which means white girl in Spanish. I don't know why they decided to call me that but I don't mind it; I love it.

 

It was a tie between "Jesus Christ" and "Damn it" they only called me those nicknames when I was in trouble though. Hmm.......

 

My family calls me "Karrietjie", which means little car in Afrikaans, its an adaptation from my name.
