I have pet-name tourettes. Andreas gets a new pet-name perhaps weekly, and they’re all varying shades of totally fucked up embarassing. The latest is Nerbily Werb-Werb, which often gets abbreviated to NWW on instant messenger.
He puts up with a lot.
Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

OMG i do this obsessively.
my boyfriend has nicknames ranging from chik’n to to captain crunch to mixes of monkeytoes and fuzzyheadedchik’n (the adjectives and nouns are interchangeable to create new names aaaall the time).
also there are variations on his name (jim) - jimbly, jimjam, jimbear, etc.

I am strictly forbidden to mention the dumb ass name my husband and I use interchangably for each other. It is the only thing that is OFF LIMITS on my blog.

Oh now this is a good little posty. I do this more for my cats than my significant others, since the cats can’t be embarassed by being called things like “stinkolina” and “the doo doo man.” Damien wore the name “slice” - as in “homeslice”. I kinda like that one. But the winner in my experience is actually not one I used myself. My ex, Nate, told me his girlriend before me called him “Mr. Poopy Pants.” Now THAT is embarassing times infinity!
