    now I know that calling your bf/gf sweetie, babe, honey, and all the list of other names are normal but why can't they just call you your name? in all of my relationships my gf's always called me honey or babe or whatever but damm can't they just call me my name? don't know why I find it annoying when people do that especially when you are with a group of people.

    My parent named me Carl but it sound like a black name but they say is not that popular so won't be mix and they called me Ca or Kai for no reason and is very annoying and I needed to change my name.

    It might be the girls way of letting other guys know that she's got a man.. This should reduce the number of guys that would hit on her which might lead to you feeling jealous, loss of trust in her, uncomfortable, etc.

    It could also be her way of being a little "wun yao tai teep" so it's clear who's wearing the pants in the relationship.. or it could just be her way of showing/telling you that you hold a high ground in her heart..

    If you don't like it.. talk to her about it then =b

    Its a way of showing your affection towards the person. Plus it works better to call you by those names when they are whining or persuading you to do something or go somewhere.

    Hehe, why would you feel embarrassed that your gf calls you those unless you have sth to hide???

    If I am in your shoes, I'll be proud that she's calling me those names, makes me feel special... -whistle
    It's a term of endearment.

    Anyway, to each his own. If you don't like it, then just be straightforward and tell her.
    I used to not liking my bf calls me 'babe' in public because I don't want anyone to know he's my bf...
    So... hmm, is that your hidden agenda as well? -detect

    ^Well, if the girl only calls YOU baby, then you should be flattered, but if she goes around calling other people names like 'sweetie' or 'honey' when she first met them, then it's just her way of talking and there's nothing special then. In that case, you can tell her to stop being so 'endearing' to other people :p

    well, sometimes pet names can get my skin crawls and hair stands at its ends. the more usual ones are okay by me; but those really rare does that to me. Example: "Anh" in vietnamese ... i can't stand that. and no, i'm not vietnamese, just dated vietnamese before.

    it's ok with me being called dear but i hate those who call their loved ones 'chu chu'(pigx2), 'bi bi' (baby'), so chu(silly pig), 'bu bu' ( sounds like poo poo to me), *goosebumps all over*

    they love to play with vowels bibi bubu (luckily i haven't heard of baba bebe bobo)
