We call each other Monkey Butt/Monkey Butt Head/Monkey Butt Arse Head! Also the usual Darling, Honey, Bitch, you get the picture! I know there's more, but I can't think right now!

My brother calls his wife 'oi, Doris' as a pet name. He's called her that for so long that my mum eventually started to believe it really was her name, bless her.

I call my wife Grommit not because she is a dog but just because her eyes say far more than her mouth ever does. :D

I know it's not very exciting or imaginative, but I have actually fallen into the habit of calling him Marky. Sometimes Marky-Parky. The irony is that his mother specifically chose to name him Mark so that he COULDN'T have a nickname! (Same goes for his brother, Neil.)

Despite the dork factor of it, I think it's cute, because no one else calls him anything but Mark, so it's sort of special that way. Except our little niece, who turns two next month. Only until very recently she called him...... Butts! No idea how she got Butts from Mark, but her 4-year-old brother got a kick out of it! Now he calls him Uncle Butts. Hee!

ps. Mark doesn't have a nickname for me, but my ex-hubby called me "Wee-fay" -- the way "wife" would be pronounced phonetically in Spanish. I thought that was pretty unique; I wonder if he calls his new wife that...
