i don't really lyk most of the names just mentioned. Most guys don't know that the name doesn't exactly need to have this romantic feel but rather the intent or meaning.
for example i had a guy that was asking me out and he found out that i was a lover of literature espy african literature and we realised we both liked the book "arrow of god" and later he started calling me ihuoma meaning "beautiful ". later on i went back to read the book and saw the context with which the name was used to describe a character in the book and i was deeply touched. For those of you that remember the book well you can just imagine hw i felt each time the guy called me "ihuoma", it made me feel special.

for example my bros calls his fiance chicken and she likes it die, though i really wonder the story behind that one

i get so bewilderd y gurls are so unpredictable and unable to comprehend d m0re u tend to understand them d m0re u get c0nfused, i use baby and jokinly d sugar in tea nd bread funi it stil works does dis means she hate it too,

I think the problem is not the pet name being used but the phonetic and the familiarity in between how do u expect an half baked nigerian guy to pronounce sweet heart,angel,baby the most irritating is when you're dating an igbo guy angel will be ma ange,sweetheart-sweetart,baby-beybey chei moreover its annoying when your new guy calls u a pet name within 2days,the fact is we nigerian guys really need orientation on romance i used to call one of ex beautiful heart and till date she insists i call her petname whenever we make calls the other was obesed to a fault but i gave her confidence by calling her my baby and indeed she felt good with it cos how many guys would call an obesed lady my baby but in an attempt to please me she called me baby boy and that ended the 8yrs relationship cos i detest being called baby boy so guys lets learn to look into our ladies eyes when calling them by their pet names it gives them assurance

Bloody lier that lies from both his mouth and his nyansh. . . u ended an 8yr r/ship coz Ur ugly gf called U babyboy. . . Scheeew. . .go and tell that to the Pope. . .

been here too

So all's been said and done.
Girls. Please. What would you like to be called?
Because bi-tching around about what we shudn't call you only extends the problem.

yeah yeah yeah, we'r guys u'know and we do like we some confident ladies, so if a guys like 'u look pretty hun', in a casual way, simply stare at him and say somthin like 'well thank u' then give a faint smile or somthin, not frownin or reactin like some low-life low-self-esteem'd pervert!!! some gurls dont know wot they're worth, and its just sad that they might never know, to all yall 'ok' girls, well, thumbs up, and all yall sad perverts, get a nice, strong rope to ur necks

4ckface, What is this incoherent gibberish that U posted? Are U learning to write or making an attempt? Not only are U a terrible lying son of an unrepentant ho', U re also a dense moda4cka. Just read Ur own post, føøl and see if U make any sense with Ur numerous e bon and ekpe . . . Dont be mad coz i called U out on the efficacy of Ur claim, lier. . Lol. . I know sometimes some NLanderz can be intimidating, it is understandable if a loser like U feel the need to want to prove sth and show us ur opinion no matter how $tupid after all, even !diots have opinions let alone a mørøn like Urself, just try atleast to make an attempt at making sense. . . Fackin waste of space and by the way am calling Ur bluff, drop Ur bimbo's no, let's confirm like Ur lame brain suggested. .

Guys can't win. If the guy does not call some girl any "pet name," there will be a thread saying Naija guys are not romantic. When the guy calls you a pet name, girls are detested. After reading the thread, y'all women are detested by every conceivable pet name. So what should a guy call you if he is trying to utter a pleasantry and be romantic? Na waaa!

The bottom line is that you should appreciate it when a guy uses a pleasantry on you, especially if he is a guy you like. Stop all this hate and bitching when a man utters a pleasantry. That is why some dudes will rather be rude to women, because it appears as though being nice don't pay to these Nigerian chicks. They are so unromantic, and they will be the one bhitching about how Naija dudes are not romantic. American and European girls appreciate when men use pleasantries on them.

many of the guys on this thread just dont get it.

Let me paraphrase:

if you meet a white woman for the first time or in a business meeting, do you address her with a pet name or her actual name.

Note: not meeting someone in a strip club but in a normal, everyday setting.

Or if you meet Michelle Obama/Hilary Clinton/Queen of england, do you call them baby.

Please do not tell me you're so far gone that you cant relate with women except on a sexual basis.

and plz dont give me crap about naija women getting ahead of themselves.

True there, how abt wot ur bf cals u?

NOW U ARE REALLY GONNA GET B.A.N.N.E.D. . . . . .

@ poster, wot do u expect from a random guy u meet on d street, u meet diff ppl, literates and illetrates and u expect d not so educated ones to turn u on with fancy unpopular "pet names", if u are interested in someone calling u "dream girl" instead of "fine girl" why dont u go to silverbird, then am sure u will find a "Behind guy" dat will call u dat afer watching "dream girls".

I realy hate it wen an igbo guy stops u and d 1st tin that cums out of his mouth is "moomie" yuck!

Who likes to be called 'Pumpkin' ?
