urrrrgh

I know i'm enjoying this forum. I like talking about my girl to my friends as "01" when on campus, 'my woman' among acquitance, 'my skirt or hand bag' among my friends at home. But i don't like been called baby. It just sound that i'm childish when i senior many people plus the babe. I have now realized on this forum that ladies don't like been called honey or sweet heart when no emotional string. I've actually noticed some strange looks on some of my VICTIMS. www.myspace.com/naijapassion

mckutie:

hey hey dude!if calling gals u are just meeting for the first time,silly names as mummy,sweetie etc,then your idea of romance is totally WHACK and YUCK

DONT GET ME WRONG GURL! I AINT SAYING IT'S RIGHT FOR A GUY TO CALL A GURL PET NAMES WHILE MEETING HER THE FIRST TIME, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE OPPOSITE,  SO DONT GET ME WRONG!

Na who start this kind yeye post sef?

@ All
Some posts are quite hilarious! how about this , not a bf though but we both admire each other.His name is Chuks but i call him Chocs and he calls me Candie,

Whoa! 'Sexy', wad up!
'Mama' werin dey
mummmmiiiii [igbo accent]

I call my girlfriend Butterfly and she just loves it

^^the butterfly in your tummy.

cho cho cho ,mek i here word joo! d names all ds guys dat ride s-class,murano,infinity etc. call u is even worst yet u keep ur big artificial heads low and ready to go wth any style, a beg no decve ur selfoo!!!

My boo calls me baby, it's cool with me

the funny thing is that, these gals who say that they detest these names from first timers strangers and colleagues actually use those names in forums. like NL. babe this bade that, sexylips sexy waist sexy boobs hotie_ whatever ETC. they want us to refer to them with those name on NL even though we are strangers unknown, their colleagues via NL. can someone explain this to me. we haven't even seen them physically talk less of knowing them but u call them sexy this or that. I think it is better to call someone sexy whom u have seen physically even if it is first time than someone whom u have seen only the pix as the case in NL.

Shakara, which pet names u na come want o. Some ppl name hard to pronounce sef, here they come con dey make yanga. Abeg make i hear word jare.

[size=15pt]chank you oh jare
its an individual thing, and i think hate/detest is a strong word too, to be all work up about just cos of a pet name[/size]

I hate those names too,especially from total strangers or colleagues. My guy calls me Gorgeous and i love it cos ive not heard any guy use it before. I simply call him Handsome cos he's drop-dead handsome,and im drop-dead gorgeous too!

i like being called 'oyoyo'

"sweetheart
my love
nice one
nkem
sweetie
utum
totoritom"

your list is the most interesting, never heard of some dem names.
i detest
mummy-- commonly used my the eastern brothers
sisi mi____ trhe yoruba brothers
cinderella, jasmine, sweerrat etc.- used by wannabe scrubs.


what ever happened to calling a lady what she means to and not some generic name.
i like , Nkem -it means my own, my dad used to call his wife -mine, and it was quite nice.
guys you should sit back look at ur woman and if what u feel is really love, a name that encompasses ur emotion will come forth.

point is, stop looking for expo from us.

I really dispise a man calling me:

mom
mama
mommy
ma

Thats all the names we/he call his mother. For Christ's sake, you aint fvking your mother so stop calling me that.

What i dont understand is why a guy will call me 'shawty'. Abeg do i look short in your eyes or am i a midget! that shawty thing is just plain ridiculous

My girl calls me prick, and i call her baby

If u dont like such pet name maybe you will prefers names like ATUTUPOYOYO,HEART ROBBER,GBAM,KONKO BELOW
give name tou will be address with as pet names

Think thats bad,wat if a guy calls you 'MY JOY' even in public places,imagine u walkin down d street nd him calling at u wit dat name!

See all these girls dey talk like say dem get taste.

9ja for Show.........

It's really cool to know that I'm not the only one who just detests these silly names.

For guys who think we're too choosy, Note  that we're talking about strangers we just met on the street trying to be friendly or trying to get our names or phone numbers and worse still our colleagues at work!

If these endearments are coming from our loved, that is, boyfriends, fiances and husbands, it's actually ok but when u meet a guy on the street and he goes 'hey babes, what is t. NICE ONE....Uv expalined Beta, coz I reason with U dat Hw will somone on d street use dose names if so den DEFINITELY HE IS A FLIRT ND DECEIVER.....BUT IF ITS FROM SOMONE SOOOO LOVED U WILL AGREE WITH ME DAT IT SPICES THE RELATIONSHIP..ISNT IT?

ik_moore2: @poster

1. My dear
2. Babes
3. Cutie
4. Sweetie
5. Fine girl and

So,if all these name are not good to address u with,

Then, what do u think (pet name) we should address our GF with?

Bitter kola, Bitter leaf

u have said my mind...basically i call my love one Dear, D, Babe or Love and i love it when he calls me Sweetie, dear, love and eventho we have parted i still wont forget it but these coming from a guy am just meeting....gush...he is soooooo cheap, leacherous and confuse...certainly not my type.
