Do you have a unique pet name for your sweetheart?
I would love to hear stories about how you came up with whatever unique name you call your SO. Nothing graphic and don’t doxx yourself, I just think some nice stories like that would be fun for everyone in these ridiculous times.
Possum
Not sure if it counts as it's not really a pet name, but when one of us is looking for the other, we make dinosaur noises. The query has an upward inflection ("raahhhh?") and the response has a downward inflection ("rahh!").
At first it was just around the house. Now it's in public too.
We "caw" like crows, but haven't evolved to do it in public yet hahaha
I meow to find my husband and he will meow back.
That is awesome!
My SO and me loved this story and have adopted calling each other with the flock call "Trevor"

That was a hilarious story, thank you!
Draakje, which is Dutch for tiny dragon. Because she is cute and feisty. And can, when in dire straits, kick open a sturdy locked door.
I'm Sweet Potato.
We hadn't really decided on any pet names yet, and while intending to say sweet pea, she accidentally said sweet potato and it stuck.
That's super cute!
Your name isn't Amity is it?
You just made me remember how I called her "little star" for years, after the Beau Taplin poem..
No clue why I stopped. I'm going to start back up, and see what she thinks :)
Awwww. I’m sure she will appreciate it!
Yes. But you have to understand - to my mind, the purpose of a pet name is to entertain me, while mildly annoying her, by being unforgivably twee.
I call her my little Smoddy-Dimble.
My pet name has become Aqua from konosuba somehow haha
Hopefully not because you're that upset all the time!
Haha, I think it's my ditzy nature. I get called it anytime I forget something or cause a mishap.
It's the first half of his online username but with the first vowel replaced with oo
Like if I was called "tooken" lol
My family calls him Mickey. My aunt doesn't speak English and couldn't quite get his name right so now he's just Mickey, like the mouse.
