I Love Nicknames Used As Terms Of Endearment

Do you use terms of endearment for those you love? I do and everybody I love gets a nickname. There is no rhyme or reason how I choose them. They just come to me.

For instance, I named my daughter and I loved her name but I rarely used it unless I was making a point. I called her Genevieve, short for my sweet Genevieve.

My son had it worst. Not only did he have a nickname but I made up a song to go with it. I sang it loud and fast…Yes, both kids tolerated me.

My 2 little granddaughters I call my little chickadees.
My new grandson is Dink or dink a doo.

My brother’s came from his ex wife. She was from Chile and could not pronounce his name. She called him Shimmy and it became Shimmy, shimmy coco puffs…I know awful.
My ex husband? “The B*stard” until I really learned to curse…and I got really creative.

Even my pets get them. My little dog was Cutie Patootie but we called her Foo or Fooby Do. I have no idea why.
If I give you a nickname, it means I love you…If I don’t, don’t worry, you will get one in time. Just know that I love you when I bestow one upon you.

If I use a term of endearment, it means that person is very special to me. Its not common for me to use 'hun' or 'love' the way others do...

If I let a person use a term of endearment to call me, then that person must be someone special too.

I liked me EP nickname....it kinda grew on me....and only a few special people know how to use it that brings a smile on my face... :)
